How to Make Your Hair Smell Amazing All Day
June 09, 2023
There are few things more glamorous than having a signature scent, which is why we believe our hair should smell just as good as the perfumes we spritz on our skin. Whether you’re masking the inevitable smell of sweat during the summer months (it happens to all of us) or you simply want to smell your best, follow these five tips for long-lasting, sweet-smelling hair. Plus, keep scrolling for our favorite products to make your hair smell amazing.
Tips for Great Smelling Hair
Apply a Leave-In Conditioner Before Bed
Before you go to sleep, comb a leave-in conditioner through your hair and let it work its magic overnight. What’s better than waking up with effortlessly yummy-smelling hair?
Layer on Fragrant Hair Products
If you love the smell of a specific hair product, use the entire line to amp up its aroma. Not only are you upping the fragrance factor and developing a signature scent for your hair, but you’ll also get better results by using the complete system as intended. We're partial to the fruity-floral L’Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Line.
Spray Perfume on Your Hairbrush
If you don’t like to use a ton of products, styling your hair with a perfume-spritzed hairbrush is a great way to infuse it with fragrance. It’s also better than spraying perfume directly onto your hair because most fragrances contain alcohol, which can damage and dry out your strands.
Protect Against Heat
Using a lightweight heat protectant treatment before styling is a great way to add shine and protect against damage — and they usually have a nice fragrance, too.
Use Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is great for refreshing second-day hair (or third, or fourth…) as well as removing dirt and oil. Choose one with a scent you love.
