We're in our smell-good era, girlies. And with the dozens of new fragrances dropping, going viral and pushing the boundaries of scent, it's no surprise to see we're changing up how we wear these scents, too, with hair mists. For those of us who want to keep smelling our chosen fragrance all day, it makes perfect sense to spritz a scent into your hair. Close to your nose and enveloping you, our hair makes a perfect perfume blanket. The only problem is formula. Alcohol-based perfumes and body mists 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 keep your strands safe and smelling heavenly all day. A hair mist allows you to keep your favorite scents close without damaging your hair and elevates your overall scent to a more personalized 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. That's where hair mists come in. Made with non-drying ingredients designed to keep your hair from drying out or frizzing, hair mists are delicately formulated to linger on your strands without causing them harm.
And a lot like body mists versus eau de toilettes and perfumes, products branded as "hair mists" tend to be lighter in scent than products marketed as "hair perfumes." Mists tend to be lean-in scents that are present but blend easily into your own scent, whereas perfumes are more likely to be bolder, enveloping fragrances. Both accomplish their task without sacrificing your hair health.
In fact, some of these delicious-smelling scents also pull double duty as hair care, offering extra hydration and essential vitamins to keep your hair strong.
The Trending Scents of Fall
From walks in the forest to the cozy scents of baked goods, fall is a time when spicy, comfortable fragrances that smell "warm" are all the rage. To that effect, vanilla and amber scents are going to be everywhere on shelves this season, and that includes in hair mists and perfumes. You might think this is the time when florals tend to fall by the wayside, but hair mists love to retain that light, flowery profile.
Considering the rise in signature scents and scent layering, hair mists are a great opportunity to play with how your fragrances interact. A lighter floral scent may wrap expertly around a more cozy scent, creating a new signature that could be your next personal favorite.
