Hair Perfumes vs. Regular Perfume
Hair perfume is a fragrance mist that’s formulated especially for your hair and scalp and contains little to no alcohol. Traditional fragrance is often formulated with a high percentage of ethyl alcohol, which can be extremely drying to the hair and scalp, leaving it more prone to damage and breakage. According to Philip Berkovitz, founder of Phillip B haircare, “A product designated as an actual hair perfume is more likely to be infused with blends of essential oils, aloe vera, or oleosomes to encapsulate the scent and add moisture into the hair shaft. A good hair perfume can help hydrate to support shine and moisture. It can also be used to mask odors that accumulate between washing or to fight off strong smells that tend to settle, like cigarettes, grills, and fireplaces.” Looking for the best hair perfume to incorporate into your hair routine?
