Learn More about Hair Fragrance

Hair fragrance does not fit into most women’s classic hair care routine of shampoo, conditioner, mask and styling agents, but you’d be surprised at the number of consumers that have tried, liked and use this product on a regular basis.

Hair fragrance, also known as hair perfume or mist, is meant to be sprayed onto dry hair. You apply it as you would a classic hair spray, but its purpose is not to give hold, but to leave the hair smelling fresh.

Like any non-essential hair care product, hair fragrance has its pros and its cons.

Let’s start with the positive aspects.

• Hair fragrance can be great when you don’t have time to wash your hair, but want to keep it smelling freshly washed, like when you’ve just come out of the gym or after a late night out.
• A light fragrance can be a hair pick-me-up for women with dry or curly hair who can’t wash it as much as they’d like for fear of drying it out even further.
• If your coveted perfume brand offers a hair mist, it can sometimes last longer than a fragrance applied to the skin.

But then of course there are the downsides. Stay away from any hair fragrance product that contains alcohol. This will only dry out your hair, and even if you don’t have dry or brittle hair, it will take its toll.

If you’ve found you’ve fallen in love with a hair fragrance and it doesn’t do any damage, then go ahead and indulge, especially if you can only wash your hair every so often. But for those of us who shampoo daily or every other day, wouldn’t it be more logical to just wash and condition with sweet-smelling products, and forgo the expense altogether?
