Hair perfumes are like the lingerie of hair care—while not necessary, they add a touch of luxury to your everyday hair routine. While shampoos and conditioners can make your hair smell nice, a hair mist perfume can mask odors between washes and provide a long-lasting, instant mood boost. Brands like Balmain, Diptyque, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris produce their own versions of these scented hair products, making choosing one a process similar to selecting a signature scent. To help you find the perfect option, we’ve spoken to hairstylists for their recommendations on the best hair mist perfumes out there. We’ve narrowed down the list to our top 6 favorite hair mist perfumes, based on scent and ingredients that benefit your hair.
So what should you look for in a hair mist perfume? First and foremost, the scent. Celebrity hairstylist Cheryl Bergamy-Rosa suggests opting for scents that match your personal style and preferences. Next, check the ingredients. Hair perfumes should be formulated with ingredients that won’t cause damage to the hair and, ideally, provide hydration, shine, and protection from UV rays. For those with dry scalp or textured hair, it’s best to avoid alcohol-based hair perfumes, as they can lead to scalp irritation and dandruff over time. Finally, when considering how to use a hair perfume, it’s important to remember that it is a finishing touch or a way to refresh between washes, but it does not wash your hair.
