Hate the smell of your hair after sweating it out at the gym or enjoying a meal at a Korean barbecue joint? Spritzing scented hair mists can help to neutralise the odour and refresh your hair. Sure, you may be thinking that regular perfume can also do the job, however, traditional fragrances have high levels of alcohol which can dry out your strands. Plus, hair mists don’t just smell great, they also have additional benefits like UV protection or hydration.
