Try These Hair Perfumes for Beautifully Scented, Nourished Strands
From hair serums and oils to dry shampoos and treatment masks, the haircare aisles are looking a bit crowded nowadays. But all of these products serve distinct purposes for helping you achieve your best hair ever. And while many of these items offer their own unique scent, the primary goal often lies elsewhere. Enter: hair perfumes—an essential for keeping hair smelling lovely while maintaining optimal hair health.
“Hair perfumes are made for the hair and to make hair smell better, whether after a workout, a night out, or just because someone might want fresher smelling strands,” says Manabu Unno, Stylist at Salon Yoshiko at Bergdorf Goodman. “They are meant to leave a refreshing, lasting scent without damaging hair.”
Although most beauty aficionados are keen on smelling great, one might wonder why a standard perfume wouldn’t cut it for hair too. Fair enough. While both products boast a beautiful scent, there are key differences between perfumes formulated for the body and for the hair. It basically comes down to the amount of ethyl alcohol and water in the product. “Hair perfumes will only contain traces of alcohol to not dry out hair,” explains Rashuna Durham, amika Lead Pro Educator and stylist. “Hair perfumes for the most part are quite lightweight and do not weigh hair down like regular perfume or hair oil.”
There are so many beautifully scented and well formulated hair perfumes on the market, and it can be a fun experience to choose one that pairs well with scents you already wear on your body. Blending hair perfume with body perfume will help create your own unique, signature scent that will have others asking “what are you wearing?” all day long. So, keep reading to find your perfect hair perfume, and start spritzing.
