French women were among the first to love it and now, a large part of beauty lovers have one in their dressing table. However, although many may think that it is applied like any other body fragrance, the truth is that there are certain steps that you must follow to use it successfully (and without mistreating your hair).
That's why we asked the experts how we should use hair perfume correctly (and the most common mistakes we make when applying it) and that's why we interviewed Antonio Calero, Global Artistic Director of Moroccanoil, to reveal all his tricks. Stay to read until the end!
How is hair perfume applied?
The moment in which we apply hair fragrances is KEY to keeping hair beautiful, since they do not go on wet or damp hair: 'it is best to apply them after styling, holding the container 20–25 cm from the hair or the body', says Antonio. He reveals that it can be sprayed to taste and as many times as needed, either directly on hair, skin or clothing.
What things should not be done when using hair perfume?
One of them is not to use it very close to the scalp, "always with a moderate distance", says the expert. It's also important to look for a sulfate-free hair fragrance, as this ingredient can dry out your hair and irritate the roots, especially if you have a sensitive scalp.
What you should do is: use hair perfumes made from natural ingredients so that, in addition to leaving an exquisite aroma, they take care of your hair. Moroccanoil's new 'Brumes du Maroc' meets these requirements, as its formula is infused with the antioxidants of argan oil and vitamin E to nourish and hydrate hair and skin.
Can hair perfume be combined with body fragrance?
Yes! The important thing is that the hair perfume does not compete with the aroma of your fragrance for the rest of the body and of course, that it be an aroma that you like and that suits your personality. Antonio tells us that the new launch of the brand is an ultra-fine, light and powerful mist, designed to be used during the day to refresh the hair, and even the body! 'A summer scent with moderate sophistication,' says Calero.
How to use hair perfume to protect hair from the sun?
In order for your hair to stay protected when using a hair perfume, you need to look for a formula that has UV filters or that protects from sun exposure. There are different products with these qualities and, in fact, there are others that also work to detangle hair. How to use them? 'You can use them once you've dried your hair, to refresh it a day after washing or whenever you feel like giving it that extra protection.'
