Just What’s a Hair Perfume?
Do you remember spritzing your body mist or spraying your perfume on your hair? Turns out there’s a product called hair perfume these days, and the idea isn’t far-fetched if we think about it.
Hair tends to absorb all sorts of aromas, and there are days when we can’t shower but have to look our best. A girl’s gotta do what we got to do, right? That’s exactly where a hair perfume comes in for aromatic locks!
But hair perfume off the shelves is loaded with artificial fragrances, petrochemicals, and God knows what else! That’s where we’re looking to prepare our very own homemade hair perfume without all those chemicals and carcinogens!
Why Can’t We Use a Regular Perfume?
Even if we don’t consider the harmful ingredients and chemicals, regular perfumes are loaded with alcohol, which can be drying for your hair. So, what we need is a specialized product for hair, wherein hair perfume comes into play.

When preparing perfume, the key is getting the notes right! Wondering what we’re talking about here? There are three notes when you talk about scents, and getting the right balance is what makes a hair perfume, or any perfume for that matter,, the best.
The top note is the aroma we smell first and float away quickly. The next aroma you smell after the top notes are the middle notes, which are the balancing element and give body to any perfume. Where top notes are airy and light, middle notes are warm and soft. Then comes the base note, the aromas that linger longest in any perfume, they’re soothing and robust.
Top note essential oils include Rose, Tea Tree, Jasmine, Eucalyptus, Lemongrass, etc.
Middle note essential oils include Lavender, Cedarwood, Lemongrass, Geranium, etc.
Base note essential oils include Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, etc.
