"Hair fragrance – also known as hair mist or hair perfume – has emerged over the last few decades, as we have become more aware of hair health and embracing creative ways of wearing perfume," says Laura Curtis, Fragrance Education Manager at Mecca, told Body+Soul. It has a significant effect on your hair's condition and vitality.
The problem with using your regular perfume on your hair is that it often contains a good amount of alcohol that can dry your precious locks. "Hair perfumes are constructed with a lower alcohol content to preserve the natural moisture of the hair, and many include nourishing ingredients to enhance the health and shine of the hair, which differentiate them from a traditional perfume," explains Curtis.
Many hair fragrances contain sustaining ingredients like natural oils and aloe vera. Instead of spraying alcohol into your hair with regular perfume, using a hair fragrance can directly help foster shine and luster.
