Major 2014 trend alert: scented hair mist. In its most basic form, hair mists simply add fragrance to the hair. Think of hair mist as that little je ne sais quoi as you walk past your latest crush. However, hair mists are also tailored to the needs of your hair. Many hair mists help with hair dilemmas such as hydrating, adding shine, detangling or smoothing. Hair mists are added to dry hair as a finishing touch before you step out the door.

Essentially, hair mists are used in the same manner as perfume for hair. However, we don’t recommend using perfume on the hair because of the alcohol content. Instead, we recommend dual purpose products which offer fragrance as well as benefits for hair.

Our i-glamour hair mist suggestions (from left to right):

Fragrance plus a second day refresher

Try: TIGI Bed Head Candy Fixations Sugar Shock. The fragrance is very sweet like pink spun sugar, while giving your hair volume and pretty waves.

Fragrance plus shine

Try: Not Your Mother’s Rise & Shine Silky Smooth Shine Mist. The fragrance is like a tropical holiday: coconutty and sweet. This hair mist gives your hair polished shine, while also smoothing away pesky flyaways and frizzies.

Fragrance plus moisture

Try: Macadamia Natural Oil Luxurious Oil Spray. With an earthy, woodsy fragrance, Macadamia Natural Oil Luxurious Oil Spray nourishes and hydrates your hair with a nutrient rich formula. This is what we call a hair mist with major hair benefits!

For wigs, weaves and hair extensions

DeMert has a special, targeted hair mist. DeMert WIG Herbal Freshener has an odour neutralising formula to remove any unpleasant odours that hairpieces may absorb. A terrific hair freshener for synthetic or human hair extensions.

Fragrance plus detangling

Try: Malibu C Leave In Conditioner Mist. Malibu C Leave In Conditioner Mist instantly conditions and detangles, while imparting shine and fragrance. The fragrance is reminiscent of a day at the beach: think marine, aloe and fresh. Bonus: Malibu C Leave In Conditioner Mist is also free of sulfates, parabens and gluten.
