1. Spray perfume on your brush. You can buy a variety of perfumes designed especially for this purpose, so these are your best option. You can use regular perfume occasionally as well, but since it’s not designed for hair, it can leave your hair oily or dry, so use it infrequently.
2. Use essential oils. Many are antimicrobial and can help you avoid scalp infections (which tend to lead to smelly hair). Tea tree oil, lavender oil, vanilla oil, and peppermint oil are all good options. Add 2-3 drops to a cup of water, and massage the mixture into your scalp. Leave it in for about twenty minutes before you shampoo your hair.
3. Try scented hairsprays, serums, and dry shampoos. Particularly if you already use hair products, add a delicious smelling one into your routine. Smells from these products won’t necessarily last all day, so consider keeping small refresher bottles with you in a purse or bag.
4. Use a deep conditioner about once every two weeks. Deep conditioners are designed to keep your hair soft and prevent breakage, but they can also add delightful smells to your hair. Most brands recommend that you use them every couple of weeks, but check the directions to be sure.
5. Make your own shampoo. Many beauty experts believe that store bought shampoos strip the natural oil out of your hair. One advantage to making your own shampoo is that you can make it smell however you want! There are dozens of recipes out there, but here’s one that doesn’t call for too many hard-to-find ingredients.
