The Top 10 Hair Perfumes Available In Australia

Update your fragrance collection with this must-have product - by Kate Atkinson

The Top 10 Hair Perfumes Available In Australia

Hair perfumes are what the name suggests - a fragrance for your hair. However, they are more then a simple way to hide an unwanted scent or an unnecessary luxury. Hair perfumes work in the same way as a traditional fragrance, but often include extra ingredients that work to soften, hydrate, texturise or add shine to your locks. Some even work as a substitute for dry shampoo, absorbing built-up oils and adding a fresh scent to unwashed hair. Other leading products can be used to fight against frizz or include protectants against UV rays - an priority for those who spend their days out in the sun.

As your hair is a natural diffuser, it is a strong carrier for all sorts of scents such as the lingering smell of your shampoo or conditioner. Your roots and follicles naturally absorb odours and as your hair moves naturally, scents are dispersed across your head. 

Homemade alternatives can even be made from essential oils and ingredients like witch hazel, aloe vera or jojoba oil. Brands like Chanel, Dior and Jo Malone have followed in the hair perfume trend, creating matching hair fragrances for all their signature scents. 

The only thing you need to be wary of when using hair perfumes is drying out your hair. Some hair fragrances are made with drying alcohols and overuse could be drying or damaging to your hair, especially if your locks are prone to breakage or has been through a chemical change. 

From Byredo’s bergamot-infused hydrating mist to Sachajuan's fruity formula, here are 10 multitasking hair perfumes to ensure your hair will always be smelling great. 

10. Sachajuan Ocean Mist, $39.

This mist will leave your hair feeling like you've just spent the day at the beach - adding volume and texture and adding definition to natural curls. The ultimate light-weight formula is made from algae and contains a scent that is fresh and not too overpowering. This subtle salt spray has a scent that is fresh and not too overpowering, leaving your hair feeling light and wavy.

9. Jo Malone London Orange Blossom Hair Mist, $85. 

This Jo Malone hair mist is loaded with nourishing and softening ingredients that will leave your hair looking healthy and shiny. Spray evenly on to the ends of your hair three to six times for the best results.

8. Mugler Alien Hair Mist, $50.

A long-lasting hair mist infused with the classic Alien perfume scent, with notes of jasmine, cashmeran wood and amber gris. This is a high quality product that will leaving your hair smelling incredible even after multiple washes. 

One reviewer described the product as a "Light scent that's perfect for hair. Lasts a long time but isn't overwhelming while you have it on. It is pretty expensive but the bottle lasts a long time, and you don't need much product."

7. OUAI Wave Spray $19.

This hair spray from OUAI is unlike other salt sprays or wave sprays as it's formulated with rice protein that will hold your hair in place without causing dryness or crunch.

With a nourishing formula made from camellia oil, this hair perfume from Diptyque will keep your hair hydrated, moisturised and protect your locks from environmental damage.

The Gypsy Water hair perfume applies a light cover that will leave your hair feeling nourished and silky. The spray is long-lasting and contains earthy notes of lemon, pepper, vanilla and bergamot.

One reviewer said: "I just love this shizzle, when your hair is a bit pongy a few days after you've washed it and it needs freshening up, I just spray this bad boy on and everyone always comments about how lovely my hair smells, and the total bonus is its from Byredo who make the best fragrance ever!"

3. Chanel No. 5 The Hair Mist, $66. 

Featuring notes from their signature scent, this product from Chanel is a feminine hair perfume that will keep your hair looking smooth and soft.

Micha Ramsay, left this review on Beauty Crew: "If you cannot step foot outside of the house without your favourite spritz of Chanel then you need this product to leave the soft, unmistakeable No 5 scent where ever you go! you simply spritz sparingly (we do want this product to last!) on your dry hair do and bam you are ready to go!"

2. Dior Miss Dior Hair Mist, $66.

This award-winning hair perfume from Dior promises an intense scent that will keep your hair looking and feeling fresh. Those familiar with the Miss Dior EDP will recognise the same notes of mandarin essence, rose and patchouli. This hair mist is suitable for everyday use and is the perfect substitute for when you forget to spritz your regular perfume. Unlike some hair perfumes, this product will not dry out or damage your roots because it's main ingredient is water, working to nourish and hydrate instead.

One Beauty Crew reviewer, Rachel, said: "Without a doubt one of my favorite hair mists as the smell is sweet but not too sweet and lasts for far longer than other hair mists and I’ve tried a few. It’s great too if you don’t always love spraying perfume on your skin on a hot day but still want to have perfume on as I seem to find it goes further that way in summer. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes smelling great without it being overpowering and although it might seem pricier it is definitely worth it."

1. Sachajuan Protective Hair Perfume, $75.

Sachajuan's Protective Hair Perfume is a multi-purpose product that freshens, nourishes and hydrates your hair. With a juicy blend of lychee, peach and rose this hair perfume will erase unwanted smells and simultaneously helps to heal damage due to ingredients of keratin and silk oils. This product also incorporates UV protection and an anti-odour technology that uses citrus oil extracts to capture odour molecules and break them down, leaving your hair looking fresh. You can definitely swap your normal fragrance for a few spritzes of this Sachjuan hair perfume - the scent is strong but not too overpowering and will last all day.
