The best hair mists to keep you feeling fresh and good

Hair mists are light and can be used to refresh your hair in between washes.

You must be thinking, what exactly is hair mist and why can't I spritz perfume on my hair? Both of the hair products are of different items and contain different percentages of ingredients for specific use.

Is hair mist the same as perfume?

For a start, perfume contains a high concentration of alcohol which can be both damaging and drying for your hair. Hair mists, on the other hand, are made with less alcohol and some even contain ingredients such as botanical oils to help enhance shine and softness.

Furthermore, in humid tropical weather like ours, hair mists provide you with a layer of scent protection, since we often sweat buckets just by stepping out of the door. Not only that, hair mists are sold at a fraction of the cost of a regular perfume, making it affordable for you to try a new scent.

Can we use hair mist daily?

Yes, you can use hair mists daily. Look out for those that contain safe and non-alcohol ingredients and are nonallergenic. Hair mists are light and can be used to refresh your hair in between washes.
