Anthropologie, Moroccanoil, Diptyque
I’m at the stage of life where less is truly more when it comes to caring for my hair. What used to be a full lineup of products and a 10-step routine is now refined and simple, consisting of only necessary items — that is, aside from my favorite hair mist.
Hair mist is designed specifically to be a fragrance for your hair instead of your skin (though several mists can be sprayed on your skin, too). Chances are, if you have a favorite perfume, it’s likely available in the form of a cheaper (!) hair mist, too, such as Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl or Maison Francis Kurkdijan’s Baccarat Rouge 540. And if you’re not the biggest fan of perfumes or body sprays but still enjoy the smell of specific fragrance notes like vanilla, roses, coconut or tropical fruits, there’s a hair mist for that, too.

In addition to hair mists making your tresses smell divine, some even have beneficial ingredients to address certain needs, such as argan oil for hydration, aloe vera for hair growth and castor oil for strengthening.
Below, we rounded up 11 of the best-reviewed hair mists you can buy online.

Le Monde Gourmand hair and body mist
When I first started collecting fragrances, I found myself reaching for Le Monde Gourmand's budget-friendly eau de parfums often.

Scent options include vanilla, fruit, coconut, peach, pumpkin and salty ocean.

In addition to the Kayali body fragrance line, Huda Beauty also offers this warm floral hair mist that contains camelia oil, aloe vera, and castor oil to promote healthy hair.

Maison Francis Kurkdijan Baccarat Rouge 540 hair mist
So you've been eyeing Baccarat Rouge 540 but don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars to get it? Well, you're in luck, because you can get the next-best alternative by purchasing the hair mist instead (and it's less than $100). It has the same signature scent of the original perfume — think amber, floral and woody — but all you need is a spray or two of this on your hair.
Promising review: "I love the perfume so even better to add to the hair especially with this windy weather.....scent lingers." — Delores G.
