We feel unstoppable after a few spritzes…

Who doesn’t love indulgence and fragrance that makes you relive memories? We may not give it much importance but scent plays an important role in our lives. And every beauty section of a department store you walk into, you’ll spot a dedicated space for perfumes. And now you’ll also find a space for hair perfumes too.
It’s true when we say that the beauty industry is always one step ahead of the game. Hair perfumes do more than just make your mane smell amazing, they also nourish your strands. Genius, honestly.
Many may contest the idea of keeping a hair perfume on their shelves… After all, there is nothing quite like a nice, squeaky hair wash. However, a hair perfume might just be the best ritual to add to your haircare routine.
However, for Indians making their hair smell fab is not a new phenomenon. Indians love a little je ne sais quoi to their routine and they have been doing it for centuries.
Indians have been using incense to scent their hair, and applying oil and concoctions to their scalp. Women love to tie flower garlands or gajras, and let the aroma of jasmine and other fragrant flowers fill the air as and when they move.
It’s no secret that India is home to about 18,500 different types of aromatic plants. The source of various hair products often goes back to flowers, leaves, bark, seeds, wood, or roots, according to Divrina Dhingra, author of The Perfume Project: Journeys Through Indian Fragrance.
From perfumes that remind you of the beach to the ones which help you sleep better—we have scoured the Internet for you and curated some of the best hair perfumes for you.
