Perfume Your Hair With A Natural Product

Tahitian oil is very moisturizing, protects our hair from the sun’s rays and has a little scent of vanilla. Its regular application avoids the use of masks and conditioners.

The hair is an element of our body which is always exposed which easily absorbs odors (tobacco, perspiration, etc.), and which it is not always possible for us to wash at the time. Perfume your hair to get rid of those odors!

Although there are more and more perfumes specially designed for the hair on the market, we explain in this article several ways to prepare your own perfumes, or how to choose the most natural ones whose aroma can be fruity, exotic or floral.

These are alcohol-free perfumes, so as not to dry out the hair, and whose therapeutic properties will do the greatest good for your hair.

Monoï de Tahiti for your hair

This Monoi or Tahitian oil is an excellent natural product that you can use for the body and for the hair.

It is obtained by macerating Tiare flowers (Gardenia Tahitensis) in coconut oil, which gives it a very particular exotic aroma similar to that of vanilla.

We recommend its use especially in summer, because on the one hand it perfumes the hair, and on the other hand brings them softness and shine, while protecting them from the sun’s rays.

In addition, it provides hair with a powerful antioxidant like vitamin E, and it deeply hydrates and repairs hair. If you use it regularly, you don’t need to apply conditioner after washing your hair.

We do not recommend its application on oily hair.

Flower hydrosols

Hydrosols are obtained by the distillation of plants during the process of extracting essential oils.

It is therefore the water that is obtained during the extraction of an oil and which contains the water-soluble elements of the plant, trace elements and a small amount of essential oil.

Therefore, it partly retains the aroma of this plant and its properties, but much lighter and less concentrated. These hydrosols are less popular nowadays, but their therapeutic use dates back to antiquity.

Here are the ones we particularly recommend:

• Orange blossom hydrosol: orange blossom, or neroli, has a very particular and enchanting aroma, with relaxing properties. Used on the scalp, it helps regulate the secretion of the sebaceous glands.
• Rosemary hydrosol: rosemary has always been used for its health benefits and for the beauty of the hair because it activates the circulation, it prevents their fall and effectively treats the problems that may arise in the scalp. In addition, it has a great cleaning power and a very fresh vegetable aroma.
• Mint hydrosol: this is the most refreshing hydrosol, ideal in the hot season when the scalp sweats easily. It is also used to prevent the formation of dandruff.

It is essential to ensure that they are pure and of good quality, because there are a large number of artificial essences on the market which are passed off as natural essences.

Rose water

Rose water is the floral water par excellence. It is mostly used in a traditional way in Indian culture. It has a delicate and very feminine aroma.

Its effects are balancing, regenerating and antioxidant. We recommend its use on intimate and special occasions as it has aphrodisiac properties.

A concentrated lavender infusion

Lavender has cleansing and relaxing properties as well as a delicious aroma. This is the reason why it is used to perfume the hair. Simply by preparing a concentrated infusion of its flowers.

It is a very sweet scent that can be sprinkled several times a day, ideal for children, etc.

Essential oils

Essential oils allow you to make your own natural hair fragrances the easiest way and using your favorite aromas. Just mix a few drops with a little water, stir well and spray.

We recommend the following oils:

• Ylang-Ylang: an intense floral aroma with aphrodisiac properties.
• Mandarin: sweet and refreshing, it has relaxing properties that lift your spirits and put you in a good mood.
• Bergamot: Bergamot is the note that gives tea its characteristic flavor. It has a very special aroma and antidepressant properties.
• Jasmine: soft, delicate and relaxing, it goes very well with other aromas.
• Lemon: lemon brings a note of cleanliness and freshness; its aroma goes well with that of other citrus fruits.

How to apply it

Transfer the perfume to a spray bottle and spray it on your hair from a distance of about 20 centimeters so that it is evenly distributed over the hair without getting them too wet. You can massage your hair or style it to soak it up well.

We recommend that you take the spray bottle in your bag to spray your hair with perfume if it has been exposed to strong odors.
