What the AI looks for in Hair Fragrances

Made for hair
Choose products labelled as hair perfume or hair mist rather than regular body perfume. Regular high-alcohol perfumes can dry out hair. Hair formulas are made to be gentler.
Spray distance
Mist from arm's length onto the lengths, not the scalp. This spreads the scent evenly and avoids irritating the scalp.
Scent strength
Expect a lighter, shorter-lived scent than fine fragrance. Hair mists are made to be reapplied, not to last all day.

Brands that matter

  • Gisou: Honey-themed hair perfumes and oils.
  • Sol de Janeiro: Fragrance mists for hair and body.
  • Byredo: Niche fragrance house that makes hair perfumes.
  • Ouai: Hair-care brand with scented mists.

What to avoid

  • Spraying straight onto the scalp.
  • Using hair perfume instead of washing hair that is actually oily.
