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.
