Frequently asked
Common questions.
Hair perfume vs body perfume?
Hair perfume is alcohol-light or alcohol-free, hair-friendly. Regular fragrance dries hair and is harsh on colour. Don't substitute.
How do I apply hair perfume?
Spray onto a brush, then comb through. Spraying directly often pools and dries hair.
Does hair perfume actually last?
Real hair perfume (Gisou, Byredo): 6-10 hours. Body fragrance on hair: 2-3 hours and damaging.
Will hair perfume affect my colour?
Most won't if alcohol-light. Avoid alcohol-heavy fragrances on freshly-coloured hair.
