CAN YOU SPRAY PERFUME IN YOUR HAIR?

In short, the answer is no – you shouldn’t spray perfume (such as an Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum) directly into your lovely locks. If you do, you could be doing more damage to your hair than good! This is due to the high alcohol content in fragrance, which can dry your hair, irritate your scalp and even lead to breakages or dandruff.

While putting perfume in hair is a no-no, other options will leave your hair beautifully scented without damaging side effects. Check out these ideas:

1. SPRAY PERFUME INTO THE AIR

The first option is to spray your perfume into the air and then walk through it. Using this method, the scent will settle on your hair instead of saturating it when you spray your bottle up close, therefore limiting the impact of the alcohol on your hair. But remember, you don’t need to limit yourself to just scenting your hair, once you have scented your locks you can still spray your pulse points to enjoy the aroma even longer.

2. BRUSH PERFUME THROUGH YOUR HAIR

You can also try spraying your perfume directly onto your hairbrush and combing through your hair. We recommend avoiding brushing too close to your roots; instead, concentrating on evenly distributing the scent throughout the length.

3. USE A HAIR MIST

These first two options will leave you with a soft and subtle scent. Still, suppose you prefer a method that not only leaves your locks smelling amazing for longer but comes with added hair-loving benefits (such as hydrating ingredients). In that case, you need to try a hair mist.

A hair mist will not only provide your hair with the fragrance you’re after, but as they are usually formulated with a much lower concentration of alcohol compared to perfume, you don’t have to worry about damaging your hair.
