admin “Wow, you smell incredible,” a friend recently said to me in greeting. I knew it wasn’t my perfume because I forgot to put it on that day—but I did have on hairspray. I get comments like this surprisingly often, but only when using one specific product on my hair.
Hair is actually a much better scent carrier than skin because of its structure. Each strand of hair is covered with a cuticle, which holds scent molecules particularly well because of it’s rough texture. This is why kitchen smells and smoke stick onto hair—but it can also be taken advantage of.
Conventional perfume isn’t meant to be sprayed into hair because of the high alcohol content, which dries out hair and makes it more brittle. But Kevin.Murphy’s Doo.Over is meant for hair and just happens to smell incredible.
The spray smells floral-powdery, but also has tart notes of patchouli and cedar. A very special mix that is difficult to describe. However, the spray not only smells great, but also contains fine powder particles like a dry shampoo, so hair stays fresh, too. I love to use this product when wearing my hair wavy, because the powder particles give the hair more grip, which makes the styling last and last and last.
Here’s how I use it: spray on a small amount, then brush it through briefly—et voilà, your hair smells like freshly washed—for days.
