We’re in our age of smelling good, girls. And with dozens of new scents hitting the market, going viral, and pushing the boundaries of fragrance, it’s no surprise that we’re also changing the way we wear those scents, and that’s with hairsprays. For those of us who want to smell the scent of our choice all day long, spraying a fragrance in your hair makes perfect sense. Close to the nose and enveloping you, our hair forms a perfect blanket of perfume. The only problem is the formula. Alcohol-based perfumes and body sprays can cause unwanted dryness and frizz, and no one wants to sacrifice style. The solution is to wrap your hair in a fragrance that will protect your hair and keep it smelling heavenly all day. A hairspray lets you have your favorite scents close by without damaging your hair, and elevates your overall scent to a more personal complex of addictive smells that perfectly embodies you.
What is a hair mist?
Perfume is known for its high alcohol content, which can be detrimental to hair health. This is where hairsprays come in. Hairsprays are made from non-drying ingredients designed to protect your hair from drying out or frizzing. They are gently formulated to linger on your hair without damaging it.
And similar to body mists versus eau de toilettes and perfumes, products marketed as “hair mists” tend to have a lighter scent than products marketed as “hair perfumes.” Mists tend to be subtle scents that are present but blend easily with your own scent, while perfumes tend to have stronger, enveloping scents. Both do their job without compromising the health of your hair.
In fact, some of these delicious scents also serve double duty as hair care products, providing extra moisture and essential vitamins to keep your hair strong.
The trend fragrances of autumn
From walks in the woods to the cozy smell of baked goods, fall is a time when spicy, pleasant scents that smell “warm” are all the rage. This season, vanilla and amber scents will be all over the shelves, including in hairsprays and perfumes. You might think this is the time when floral scents tend to fall by the wayside, but hairsprays like to keep that light, floral profile.
With the increasing number of signature scents and scent combinations, hair sprays are a great way to experiment with how your scents interact. A lighter floral scent can expertly envelop a cozier scent, creating a new signature that could become your next personal favorite.
