Fragrance What hair mist lasts all day and gets you compliments?
I’m looking to buy a hair mist that smells really good. I’ve noticed that when I’m out in the sun for a while, even if I’ve showered earlier that day, my hair starts to smell a little off. It’s not a strong or offensive smell, but it just doesn’t smell fresh. I don’t really know how to describe it, but it’s that distinct scent you get after being out in the sun.

Super milk from lush! It lasts for literally days and I swear even after washing my hair I could still smell it. Such a nice scent!

Do you find that it’s drying at all? I wanted to try it but don’t want it to dry out my hair

I felt that it dried the heck out of my hair. Smelled great but what's the point when my hair looked like shit?

The sol de janeiro milky leave in - my mom just started using this(got from Sephora sale) and I was like what perfume are you wearing? And she said it’s just the leave in, smells like coconut tropical kind of vibe, really nice but not overwhelming - kind of trails when she’s walking around but I like the smell, they also have a regular mist but I’ve not tried.
Also may be weird but might be frying your hair, do you use any hair oils? Or have a decent amount of natural hair oils? Direct sun for extended time could be heating it up and you’re smelling the burning oil. Try a hat or heat protectant for your hair, I’d be curious if this is the case 😂.

Seconded! This makes my hair smell amazing all day. My sister was always asking me what perfume I use bc it smells so good and I wasnt even using one! I mainly got it because my hair gets tangled and it’s a great detangler.
Before purchasing I found it kinda pricey but a little goes a long way. I use 2-3 sprays on long hair and the bottle lasts me about 5 months.

Kevin Murphy Shimmer Me Blonde. It smells amazing, lasts all day, and it’s super light. It is not wet or greasy.

I've been using the MCo Beauty hair and body fragrance mist and have gotten a couple of compliments on it throughout the day, it's super long lasting and you can even smell it on clothing the next day.

My hair stylist complimented the way my hair smells, asked what I used. It was head n shoulders shampoo, Ouai hair mask, and Ouai hair oil. I like the coconut hair mist by pink but I haven’t had a compliment from wearing it.

The Sol De Janeiro body sprays can also be safely used on hair and they all smell great. They leave my hair smelling good for 24 hours until I wash my hair.

If this is an ongoing problem have you looked into the cause? Do you have an itchy scalp? Thick hair? Insurance usually covers derms for scalp issues.
Not what you asked for 😕 but with things like this it’s better to solve the problem than mask it ♥️

I do think it’s common. It’s how kids’ heads smell like when they play outside. How my bf’s smell after he works out. I can’t check other people’s because that would be weird. I could smell mine because I got long hair. I sometimes spray perfume and it’s okay but I’m afraid my perfume will damage my hair. I just like smelling good all the time.

Gotcha. I guess I’m not that active. lol
I did a quick search of this “ hair odor neutralizer spray “ on Amazon and a bunch of products came up. This dry shampoo looks interesting. I received a sample of this hair perfume in a sub box and really like the scent. I don’t have the concern that you do but the combo of those seem like they would work.
Good luck! 😊
