Is Hair Perfume trending?

Yes. Hair Perfume growing with a month-over-month change of 3.73% over the past 5 years, with approximately 14,800 monthly searches.

This is a seasonal trend that peaks every December. The seasonal demand is forecasted to decline over the next year.


Why is Hair Perfume trending?

1
Long-Lasting Fragrance
Hair perfume is designed to provide a long-lasting fragrance that can last for hours. This is because hair is able to hold onto scent molecules better than skin, which can help the fragrance to last longer.
2
Non-Drying Formula
Hair perfume is typically formulated to be non-drying, which means it won't strip hair of its natural oils or leave it feeling dry and brittle. This makes it a great option for those with dry or damaged hair.
3
Adds Shine and Softness
Many hair perfumes contain ingredients that can help to add shine and softness to hair, such as argan oil or coconut oil. This can help to improve the overall appearance and texture of hair.
4
Convenient and Portable
Hair perfume is often sold in small, travel-sized bottles that are easy to carry around in a purse or bag. This makes it a convenient option for those who want to freshen up their hair on-the-go.
5
Growing Popularity
Hair perfume is becoming increasingly popular as more people are looking for ways to extend the life of their hairstyles and add a pleasant scent to their hair. This has led to a wider variety of hair perfumes being available on the market.

best hair perfumes?
i’m looking for a hair perfume that leaves a scent trail when people walk by you or when you walk by them. My main preference is anything fruity, floral or vanilla. My main thing is also longevity of the hair perfume! i was debating between gisou, ouai, and kitsch! however, I’m also open to any hair products (not limited to just perfumes) that also smell very good aswell ❤️ submitted by /u/heylolllllll to r/FemFragLab [link] [comments]

hair perfume is its own category apparently and I'm just now finding out?
A friend mentioned she layers hair perfume with her regular fragrance and I looked at her like she was speaking another language. somehow this entire category escaped me despite being into fragrances for years? apparently hair holds scent differently than skin because no body chemistry interaction, and it creates more of a subtle trail because your hair moves. which actually makes sense now that I think about it. The price range is wild though, byredo charges almost as much as their EDPs for a hair mist and I'm not convinced the juice justifies that just because it's "formulated for hair." Anyway I've been down a rabbit hole and here's what I've tried so far: kitsch warm sugar (the dry down is nice, decent longevity too) ouai (smells good but fades fast for the price) byredo (beautiful but cannot justify spending that much on hair mist) Is anyone else into hair fragrances? curious what's actually worth it in this category beyond the luxury markup stuff. submitted by /u/ssunflow3rr to r/fragrance [link] [comments]

[New Update]: AITAH for buying my girlfriend vanilla shampoo?
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Spiritual-Grocery641 Originally posted to r/AITAH Previous BoRUs: #1 [New Update]: AITAH for buying my girlfriend vanilla shampoo? NEW UPDATE MARKED WITH ---- Thanks to u/queenlegolas for suggesting this BoRU Mood Spoilers: positive for OOP ---- RECAP Original Post: January 4, 2026 My girlfriend uses a few different types of shampoo and alternates between them. One of them, a vanilla scented one, is my favorite. She asked me to pick up some things for her at the store, and on my way to check out I saw the vanilla shampoo and grabbed that too. When I got back to her apartment, she started putting away the things I bought. She was confused by the shampoo and asked me why I got it. I said that I saw it and know she uses that kind and grabbed it for her. She said she wasn't running low on shampoo. I said I know, but it doesn't expire and that one is my favorite. I teasingly said that she should use it if she's planning to wash her hair tonight. She asked what I meant by it being my "favorite." I said I like the way it makes her hair smell, like cookies. She looked a little weirded out. I asked her if she was okay. She said it was weird that I sexualized her shampoo. I said smelling nice is sexy. I asked if she thinks I'm sexier when I used nice smelling soaps and deodorants. She said not really, as long as I don't actively smell bad. I said maybe it's different for everyone. She said honestly it bothered her that something as mundane as shampoo was sexual to me. She asked me if someone else smelled like vanilla would I be attracted to them? I said no, that she was misunderstanding me. She asked me to clarify, but I don't think I did a good job. I said I specifically like the smell on her, not other people. She still seemed put out, so I headed home to give her space. Was I an asshole for buying the shampoo and telling her I like when she uses it? To me that's not weird, but maybe that's because I'm a guy. Is there a layer to this I'm not seeing? AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP received the majority of NTAs Relevant Comments Commenter 1: I would’ve thought it was sexy and cute. You’re not the AH at all. The most romantic thing my husband did for me was buy me a personal pizza with olives on it because I told him I like it but hadn’t ordered one in years because I just eat what everyone else likes and they don’t like olives. We were talking about something else and I just casually mentioned it as an aside. Three weeks later I came home and it was sitting on our kitchen island with a heart drawn on the box. It wasn’t the pizza. It was confirmation that he was listening to me and not just paying attention to his phone. Being attentive is important. OOP: I thought I was being sexy and cute too! She's my first real relationship, so I acknowledge that I'm inexperienced here, but I thought it was a very innocent way to flirt. It's not like I bought her underwear. Commenter 2: NTA. What on earth? You did something nice. She should have said thank you. My husband comments if he likes my perfume. She presumably buys the vanilla scented shampoo because she also likes the smell. Making it out like you’re some weird freak for also liking the smell is wild. It’s like she was looking for something to fight about. OOP: Yeah, I don't get it. Liking certain smells is normal, right? Isn't that the point of scented things? And perfume? It's not a creepy thing to like. Commenter 3: Does she often pick fights and criticize you like this? You did nothing wrong. Yes smelling good is sexy. I’ve had women ask me what laundry detergent I used because they loved the way my clothes smelled and wanted to be reminded of me. Your gf is being weird OOP: We fight sometimes, but not often. This is the first fight that felt completely out of left field. Usually I see where she is coming from, but this time I am so confused. Commenter 4: NTA. She’s definitely off. You love the smell of vanilla, especially on her. This isn’t odd. It doesn’t mean you want to bang the first woman you see wearing vanilla, either. Jesus. We are human. We each gravitate to particular scents. We have likes and dislikes. What’s wrong with her?!! You didn’t mention your age, hoping you’re teenagers ? OOP: I'm 19, and she's 20. Downvoted Commenter: I feel like you're definitely leaving something out here?? How long have you been together, is this the first time you told her you like a scent when it comes to her?? She clearly has some sort of trauma that probably needs to be worked through with you not judgement because she didn't respond properly to something out of the blue OOP: We started dating exclusively four months ago. No, I've told her she smells nice before. The last time we were intimate I said she smelled great, and she responded very positively to that. I didn't specifically say that it was her hair that smelled nice, so maybe she didn't realize that's what I was referring to. Commenter 5: Did she grow up conservative or really sheltered? OOP: No, her parents are very progressive. They are supportive of her bisexuality. We met once and they're very cool. Commenter 6: I don't think you're going to have a long relationship with this one she's trying to find trouble. Give her lots of space and never buy anything for her ever again so she can complain about that. Maybe ask her does she wear perfume and why? If she's worried about this why doesn't she use unscented products? I dump her she sounds like a weirdo. She will be the one to put charges against you for any minor thing. OOP: She doesn't use perfume, but she uses scented products and they all smell great. To me the scented soap smell is better than perfume, more subtle, more... I'm not sure which word to use. It's nicer. I've always liked that about her. I didn't think it was weird.   Update #1: January 5, 2026 (next day) So yesterday my girlfriend didn't like it that I took it upon myself to buy her vanilla shampoo when I was picking some things up for her at the store. We met up at her apartment again this morning for breakfast and I asked if we could talk about our boundaries and expectations, because I never want to make her feel uncomfortable. She agreed that we should talk. She said that when she visited her family over winter break she had time to think about our relationship and talk to her parents and sister about me. She said that space and perspective made her realize some things. The first thing she realized is that she isn't happy that we always meet at her apartment. I said I completely understand that and she is welcome to come hang out at mine. When we first started dating she didn't want to visit my apartment often because of my four roommates, but things change and I get that. She still doesn't want to hang out at my apartment because of my four roommates though. She said that my living situation is too crowded and it bothers her. I asked if she wanted me to move, and she said she would like it if I made a commitment to finding a new living situation by the next semester. Since the next semester is a long way off this isn't unreasonable, but I was hesitant. I really like my living situation. My friends and I help each other out a lot. I don't necessarily want to live alone, and it is expensive. She can afford to live alone, but I don't necessarily think I could. I explained that I didn't think I could afford it. She suggested I ask my parents for money, which isn't an option. She also pointed out that I have a part-time job, but that doesn't make me enough money to pay for my own apartment. I asked if me spending too much time at her apartment is the only issue, because I felt like there was more to the shampoo thing. She said yes, that she didn't like that. She said she didn't like the idea that I'm constantly thinking about having sex with her, and that it made her feel disrespected. I said I'm not constantly thinking about having sex with her. I told her it's more that I really like her, and sometimes she does things and I think they are sexy, but that doesn't mean I necessarily want to have sex at that moment. It's just my internal monologue going "that was sexy." That wasn't the right way to explain it. She didn't seem to understand where I was coming from. She asked me what was going through my head when I was at the store and if I was thinking about having sex with her. I said I was thinking about the store, the items I needed to buy, inflation, etc, and then I saw the shampoo and I thought about how she uses it and it makes her hair smell amazing, and I bought it. She asked if I specifically thought about the way her hair smelled the last time we had sex, and I said yes, but it wasn't like I had a full sex fantasy in the store. It was a momentary thought. She said that isn't normal and I might have tourettes or ADHD or OCD or some other condition that causes intrusive thoughts. I'm really glad I made the last post because I was worried about what she said, but then I remembered all the commentators that mentioned also feeling the same way about scents. I told her I posted about our conversation in an anonymous online forum and several people feel the same way I do about smell. I said I think it is normal to feel that way about scents, but maybe it isn't ubiquitous. She said it isn't normal, and I might want to talk to a doctor about potentially having hypersexuality. Between her not liking my living situation and her not liking that I am attracted to her smell (which is probably my fault because I wasn't doing a good job of explaining things) I realized we just weren't compatible. I told her I thought maybe we had different needs for a relationship and maybe would be better as friends. She said she was disappointed in me but that she agreed. We hugged it out. I am a little bummed, but we were only dating for four months. Thanks for being my normalcy barometer, since I don't have one for relationships yet. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Buddy, she wanted you to tank your financial situation for a relationship of four months??? I know you like this woman, but you dodged a bullet. And liking how someone smells is perfectly normal. 🤦🏽‍♀️ OOP: I think she was just communicating. She wants a partner that has their own place. It's fair for her to let me know that. That doesn't work for me right now, so we aren't compatible. That doesn't make her wrong or a bad girlfriend, just not the right girlfriend for me, and right now I'm not the right boyfriend for her. Commenter 2: You handled that well and you both made the right call. Thank you for the update. She said that isn't normal and I might have Tourette’s or ADHD or OCD or some other condition that causes intrusive thoughts Don’t listen to this. OOP (downvoted): I think I just did a bad job of explaining myself. I think she was imagining that I'm constantly seeing things that make me think about having sex with her. It's more that my mind (and I think this is very common) is a stream of thought. I'm constantly thinking about a lot of things. Every once in a while a thought will be sexual, but it isn't constant, and it doesn't effect my ability to do regular things. I just had trouble verbalizing that to her. Commenter 3: You did the right thing. She clearly has issues: "hypersexuality" indeed! You just dodged a long-term bullet. Hopefully your next girlfriend will be saner... OOP: Well it's a new semester, so I will have the chance to meet a lot of new people and hopefully click with someone nice! Commenter 4: Scent is the sense that is directly linked to memory and emotion, much more so than our other senses, so your reaction was perfectly normal. It's pretty fucked up she'd try to turn a very human response into you having a medical condition, I hope you see that and don't let it affect your self-worth. You deserve much better! OOP: Thank you. I was anxious about it, but then I thought of all the people who told me they also feel that way about smell. So I'm not going to dwell on it. OOP on the financial background involved and if the ex has bought something for him OOP: I think we just come from different financial backgrounds, and maybe she doesn't understand my situation is different from hers. + She has bought me things though. She bought me a new pair of shoes, which is more expensive than a grocery run. They're really nice shoes. OOP responds to a downvoted commenter regarding the goals in a relationship OOP: I think that in the future I want to date a woman that likes being thought of as sexy and that wants me to be sexy for her. Not all the time, obviously but sometimes. I think this experience taught me that is something I value in a partner.   ----NEW UPDATE---- Update #2 January 28, 2026 (3.5 weeks later) Hi! I just want to thank you all for the feedback. I think this is the right place for second updates. You all helped me figure out a really confusing experience. I broke up with my girlfriend three weeks ago and have been on a few dates since then. She texted me a few hours ago asking to give us another shot. If it wasn't for all the feedback you guys gave me I probably would have taken her up on the offer. Keeping in mind what she said about me, I turned her down. She said she noticed some alarming patterns in me and that she might have overreacted. I told her I understand and that it's okay, but I'm interested in dating some more. She said the grass isn't always greener on the other side and we know we're compatible. I disagreed with her and said we aren't actually compatible because of the housing situation. She said she is willing to give me another shot, and if we work out in six months to a year we can move in together. I still said no. I definitely would have agreed before I read all your comments, so yeah, thanks again. I have a couple of dates scheduled for this weekend, a first and a second. Wish me luck! Top Comments Commenter 1: Your ex is Insane AND she is not having any luck dating. I think she made you break up w her so you’re the bad guy and she could date someone else who once she had him was not as good as you. Block her and move on Commenter 2: Good for you mate, well done. Wish you all the best Commenter 3: You dodged a bullet. The things she doesn’t like about you are so juvenile. Her grass is greener comments have her away… I think she realized that based on your last conversations you were more gullible than most men are because you’re young and liked her. She realized that someone smelling nice or living with roommates when young are some pretty bog standard aspects of a relationship and life. Her overreacting and jump to pathologizing you was unhinged and that’s never a person you want to be in a relationship with… you can’t rationalize with that.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

If you have a weak perfume that you love, spray it in your hair!
So I bought Vanilla Addiction from Gulf Orchid on sale at TJMaxx. Love the scent, but it only last for 30 minutes to an hour in my skin. I was annoyed that I wasted $8 on it lol. After showering one day I decided to spray some in my hair after my leave in. Yo. It lasts 24+ hours in my hair. If I spray it in my hair at night I can still smell it the next evening before my shower, strong too. I tried a few other of my tjmaxx cheapies in my hair and they all last SO much longer in my hair the difference is crazy. My husband even commented on how good I smelled the next morning while we were cuddling. For whatever reason I never saw the point in hair perfume, but my scent-game is forever changed. I know this isn’t groundbreaking info but I’m so happy I have a use for my weak perfume now! I don’t understand the science, but if you have any low performing perfumes try them out on wet hair. submitted by /u/daddys_lil_meatball to r/fragrance [link] [comments]

I don't necessarily want to live alone, and it is expensive. She can afford to live alone, but I don't necessarily think I could. I explained that I didn't think I could afford it. She suggested I ask my parents for money, which isn't an option. She also pointed out that I have a part-time job, but that doesn't make me enough money to pay for my own apartment. I asked if me spending too much time at her apartment is the only issue, because I felt like there was more to the shampoo thing. She said yes, that she didn't like that. She said she didn't like the idea that I'm constantly thinking about having sex with her, and that it made her feel disrespected. I said I'm not constantly thinking about having sex with her. I told her it's more that I really like her, and sometimes she does things and I think they are sexy, but that doesn't mean I necessarily want to have sex at that moment. It's just my internal monologue going "that was sexy." That wasn't the right way to explain it. She didn't seem to understand where I was coming from. She asked me what was going through my head when I was at the store and if I was thinking about having sex with her. I said I was thinking about the store, the items I needed to buy, inflation, etc, and then I saw the shampoo and I thought about how she uses it and it makes her hair smell amazing, and I bought it. She asked if I specifically thought about the way her hair smelled the last time we had sex, and I said yes, but it wasn't like I had a full sex fantasy in the store. It was a momentary thought. She said that isn't normal and I might have tourettes or ADHD or OCD or some other condition that causes intrusive thoughts. I'm really glad I made the last post because I was worried about what she said, but then I remembered all the commentators that mentioned also feeling the same way about scents. I told her I posted about our conversation in an anonymous online forum and several people feel the same way I do about smell. I said I think it is normal to feel that way about scents, but maybe it isn't ubiquitous. She said it isn't normal, and I might want to talk to a doctor about potentially having hypersexuality. Between her not liking my living situation and her not liking that I am attracted to her smell (which is probably my fault because I wasn't doing a good job of explaining things) I realized we just weren't compatible. I told her I thought maybe we had different needs for a relationship and maybe would be better as friends. She said she was disappointed in me but that she agreed. We hugged it out. I am a little bummed, but we were only dating for four months. Thanks for being my normalcy barometer, since I don't have one for relationships yet. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Buddy, she wanted you to tank your financial situation for a relationship of four months??? I know you like this woman, but you dodged a bullet. And liking how someone smells is perfectly normal. 🤦🏽‍♀️ OOP: I think she was just communicating. She wants a partner that has their own place. It's fair for her to let me know that. That doesn't work for me right now, so we aren't compatible. That doesn't make her wrong or a bad girlfriend, just not the right girlfriend for me, and right now I'm not the right boyfriend for her. Commenter 2: You handled that well and you both made the right call. Thank you for the update. She said that isn't normal and I might have Tourette’s or ADHD or OCD or some other condition that causes intrusive thoughts Don’t listen to this. OOP (downvoted): I think I just did a bad job of explaining myself. I think she was imagining that I'm constantly seeing things that make me think about having sex with her. It's more that my mind (and I think this is very common) is a stream of thought. I'm constantly thinking about a lot of things. Every once in a while a thought will be sexual, but it isn't constant, and it doesn't effect my ability to do regular things. I just had trouble verbalizing that to her. Commenter 3: You did the right thing. She clearly has issues: "hypersexuality" indeed! You just dodged a long-term bullet. Hopefully your next girlfriend will be saner... OOP: Well it's a new semester, so I will have the chance to meet a lot of new people and hopefully click with someone nice! Commenter 4: Scent is the sense that is directly linked to memory and emotion, much more so than our other senses, so your reaction was perfectly normal. It's pretty fucked up she'd try to turn a very human response into you having a medical condition, I hope you see that and don't let it affect your self-worth. You deserve much better! OOP: Thank you. I was anxious about it, but then I thought of all the people who told me they also feel that way about smell. So I'm not going to dwell on it. OOP on the financial background involved and if the ex has bought something for him OOP: I think we just come from different financial backgrounds, and maybe she doesn't understand my situation is different from hers. + She has bought me things though. She bought me a new pair of shoes, which is more expensive than a grocery run. They're really nice shoes. OOP responds to a downvoted commenter regarding the goals in a relationship OOP: I think that in the future I want to date a woman that likes being thought of as sexy and that wants me to be sexy for her. Not all the time, obviously but sometimes. I think this experience taught me that is something I value in a partner.   Latest Update here: BoRU #2   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

best hair perfumes?
i’m looking for a hair perfume that leaves a scent trail when people walk by you or when you walk by them. My main preference is anything fruity, floral or vanilla. My main thing is also longevity of the hair perfume! i was debating between gisou, ouai, and kitsch! however, I’m also open to any hair products (not limited to just perfumes) that also smell very good aswell ❤️ submitted by /u/heylolllllll to r/FemFragLab [link] [comments]

hair perfume is its own category apparently and I'm just now finding out?
A friend mentioned she layers hair perfume with her regular fragrance and I looked at her like she was speaking another language. somehow this entire category escaped me despite being into fragrances for years? apparently hair holds scent differently than skin because no body chemistry interaction, and it creates more of a subtle trail because your hair moves. which actually makes sense now that I think about it. The price range is wild though, byredo charges almost as much as their EDPs for a hair mist and I'm not convinced the juice justifies that just because it's "formulated for hair." Anyway I've been down a rabbit hole and here's what I've tried so far: kitsch warm sugar (the dry down is nice, decent longevity too) ouai (smells good but fades fast for the price) byredo (beautiful but cannot justify spending that much on hair mist) Is anyone else into hair fragrances? curious what's actually worth it in this category beyond the luxury markup stuff. submitted by /u/ssunflow3rr to r/fragrance [link] [comments]

[New Update]: AITAH for buying my girlfriend vanilla shampoo?
I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Spiritual-Grocery641 Originally posted to r/AITAH Previous BoRUs: #1 [New Update]: AITAH for buying my girlfriend vanilla shampoo? NEW UPDATE MARKED WITH ---- Thanks to u/queenlegolas for suggesting this BoRU Mood Spoilers: positive for OOP ---- RECAP Original Post: January 4, 2026 My girlfriend uses a few different types of shampoo and alternates between them. One of them, a vanilla scented one, is my favorite. She asked me to pick up some things for her at the store, and on my way to check out I saw the vanilla shampoo and grabbed that too. When I got back to her apartment, she started putting away the things I bought. She was confused by the shampoo and asked me why I got it. I said that I saw it and know she uses that kind and grabbed it for her. She said she wasn't running low on shampoo. I said I know, but it doesn't expire and that one is my favorite. I teasingly said that she should use it if she's planning to wash her hair tonight. She asked what I meant by it being my "favorite." I said I like the way it makes her hair smell, like cookies. She looked a little weirded out. I asked her if she was okay. She said it was weird that I sexualized her shampoo. I said smelling nice is sexy. I asked if she thinks I'm sexier when I used nice smelling soaps and deodorants. She said not really, as long as I don't actively smell bad. I said maybe it's different for everyone. She said honestly it bothered her that something as mundane as shampoo was sexual to me. She asked me if someone else smelled like vanilla would I be attracted to them? I said no, that she was misunderstanding me. She asked me to clarify, but I don't think I did a good job. I said I specifically like the smell on her, not other people. She still seemed put out, so I headed home to give her space. Was I an asshole for buying the shampoo and telling her I like when she uses it? To me that's not weird, but maybe that's because I'm a guy. Is there a layer to this I'm not seeing? AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP received the majority of NTAs Relevant Comments Commenter 1: I would’ve thought it was sexy and cute. You’re not the AH at all. The most romantic thing my husband did for me was buy me a personal pizza with olives on it because I told him I like it but hadn’t ordered one in years because I just eat what everyone else likes and they don’t like olives. We were talking about something else and I just casually mentioned it as an aside. Three weeks later I came home and it was sitting on our kitchen island with a heart drawn on the box. It wasn’t the pizza. It was confirmation that he was listening to me and not just paying attention to his phone. Being attentive is important. OOP: I thought I was being sexy and cute too! She's my first real relationship, so I acknowledge that I'm inexperienced here, but I thought it was a very innocent way to flirt. It's not like I bought her underwear. Commenter 2: NTA. What on earth? You did something nice. She should have said thank you. My husband comments if he likes my perfume. She presumably buys the vanilla scented shampoo because she also likes the smell. Making it out like you’re some weird freak for also liking the smell is wild. It’s like she was looking for something to fight about. OOP: Yeah, I don't get it. Liking certain smells is normal, right? Isn't that the point of scented things? And perfume? It's not a creepy thing to like. Commenter 3: Does she often pick fights and criticize you like this? You did nothing wrong. Yes smelling good is sexy. I’ve had women ask me what laundry detergent I used because they loved the way my clothes smelled and wanted to be reminded of me. Your gf is being weird OOP: We fight sometimes, but not often. This is the first fight that felt completely out of left field. Usually I see where she is coming from, but this time I am so confused. Commenter 4: NTA. She’s definitely off. You love the smell of vanilla, especially on her. This isn’t odd. It doesn’t mean you want to bang the first woman you see wearing vanilla, either. Jesus. We are human. We each gravitate to particular scents. We have likes and dislikes. What’s wrong with her?!! You didn’t mention your age, hoping you’re teenagers ? OOP: I'm 19, and she's 20. Downvoted Commenter: I feel like you're definitely leaving something out here?? How long have you been together, is this the first time you told her you like a scent when it comes to her?? She clearly has some sort of trauma that probably needs to be worked through with you not judgement because she didn't respond properly to something out of the blue OOP: We started dating exclusively four months ago. No, I've told her she smells nice before. The last time we were intimate I said she smelled great, and she responded very positively to that. I didn't specifically say that it was her hair that smelled nice, so maybe she didn't realize that's what I was referring to. Commenter 5: Did she grow up conservative or really sheltered? OOP: No, her parents are very progressive. They are supportive of her bisexuality. We met once and they're very cool. Commenter 6: I don't think you're going to have a long relationship with this one she's trying to find trouble. Give her lots of space and never buy anything for her ever again so she can complain about that. Maybe ask her does she wear perfume and why? If she's worried about this why doesn't she use unscented products? I dump her she sounds like a weirdo. She will be the one to put charges against you for any minor thing. OOP: She doesn't use perfume, but she uses scented products and they all smell great. To me the scented soap smell is better than perfume, more subtle, more... I'm not sure which word to use. It's nicer. I've always liked that about her. I didn't think it was weird.   Update #1: January 5, 2026 (next day) So yesterday my girlfriend didn't like it that I took it upon myself to buy her vanilla shampoo when I was picking some things up for her at the store. We met up at her apartment again this morning for breakfast and I asked if we could talk about our boundaries and expectations, because I never want to make her feel uncomfortable. She agreed that we should talk. She said that when she visited her family over winter break she had time to think about our relationship and talk to her parents and sister about me. She said that space and perspective made her realize some things. The first thing she realized is that she isn't happy that we always meet at her apartment. I said I completely understand that and she is welcome to come hang out at mine. When we first started dating she didn't want to visit my apartment often because of my four roommates, but things change and I get that. She still doesn't want to hang out at my apartment because of my four roommates though. She said that my living situation is too crowded and it bothers her. I asked if she wanted me to move, and she said she would like it if I made a commitment to finding a new living situation by the next semester. Since the next semester is a long way off this isn't unreasonable, but I was hesitant. I really like my living situation. My friends and I help each other out a lot. I don't necessarily want to live alone, and it is expensive. She can afford to live alone, but I don't necessarily think I could. I explained that I didn't think I could afford it. She suggested I ask my parents for money, which isn't an option. She also pointed out that I have a part-time job, but that doesn't make me enough money to pay for my own apartment. I asked if me spending too much time at her apartment is the only issue, because I felt like there was more to the shampoo thing. She said yes, that she didn't like that. She said she didn't like the idea that I'm constantly thinking about having sex with her, and that it made her feel disrespected. I said I'm not constantly thinking about having sex with her.

I just want to thank you all for the feedback. I think this is the right place for second updates. You all helped me figure out a really confusing experience. I broke up with my girlfriend three weeks ago and have been on a few dates since then. She texted me a few hours ago asking to give us another shot. If it wasn't for all the feedback you guys gave me I probably would have taken her up on the offer. Keeping in mind what she said about me, I turned her down. She said she noticed some alarming patterns in me and that she might have overreacted. I told her I understand and that it's okay, but I'm interested in dating some more. She said the grass isn't always greener on the other side and we know we're compatible. I disagreed with her and said we aren't actually compatible because of the housing situation. She said she is willing to give me another shot, and if we work out in six months to a year we can move in together. I still said no. I definitely would have agreed before I read all your comments, so yeah, thanks again. I have a couple of dates scheduled for this weekend, a first and a second. Wish me luck! Top Comments Commenter 1: Your ex is Insane AND she is not having any luck dating. I think she made you break up w her so you’re the bad guy and she could date someone else who once she had him was not as good as you. Block her and move on Commenter 2: Good for you mate, well done. Wish you all the best Commenter 3: You dodged a bullet. The things she doesn’t like about you are so juvenile. Her grass is greener comments have her away… I think she realized that based on your last conversations you were more gullible than most men are because you’re young and liked her. She realized that someone smelling nice or living with roommates when young are some pretty bog standard aspects of a relationship and life. Her overreacting and jump to pathologizing you was unhinged and that’s never a person you want to be in a relationship with… you can’t rationalize with that.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

If you have a weak perfume that you love, spray it in your hair!
So I bought Vanilla Addiction from Gulf Orchid on sale at TJMaxx. Love the scent, but it only last for 30 minutes to an hour in my skin. I was annoyed that I wasted $8 on it lol. After showering one day I decided to spray some in my hair after my leave in. Yo. It lasts 24+ hours in my hair. If I spray it in my hair at night I can still smell it the next evening before my shower, strong too. I tried a few other of my tjmaxx cheapies in my hair and they all last SO much longer in my hair the difference is crazy. My husband even commented on how good I smelled the next morning while we were cuddling. For whatever reason I never saw the point in hair perfume, but my scent-game is forever changed. I know this isn’t groundbreaking info but I’m so happy I have a use for my weak perfume now! I don’t understand the science, but if you have any low performing perfumes try them out on wet hair. submitted by /u/daddys_lil_meatball to r/fragrance [link] [comments]

I said that I saw it and know she uses that kind and grabbed it for her. She said she wasn't running low on shampoo. I said I know, but it doesn't expire and that one is my favorite. I teasingly said that she should use it if she's planning to wash her hair tonight. She asked what I meant by it being my "favorite." I said I like the way it makes her hair smell, like cookies. She looked a little weirded out. I asked her if she was okay. She said it was weird that I sexualized her shampoo. I said smelling nice is sexy. I asked if she thinks I'm sexier when I used nice smelling soaps and deodorants. She said not really, as long as I don't actively smell bad. I said maybe it's different for everyone. She said honestly it bothered her that something as mundane as shampoo was sexual to me. She asked me if someone else smelled like vanilla would I be attracted to them? I said no, that she was misunderstanding me. She asked me to clarify, but I don't think I did a good job. I said I specifically like the smell on her, not other people. She still seemed put out, so I headed home to give her space. Was I an asshole for buying the shampoo and telling her I like when she uses it? To me that's not weird, but maybe that's because I'm a guy. Is there a layer to this I'm not seeing? AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP received the majority of NTAs Relevant Comments Commenter 1: I would’ve thought it was sexy and cute. You’re not the AH at all. The most romantic thing my husband did for me was buy me a personal pizza with olives on it because I told him I like it but hadn’t ordered one in years because I just eat what everyone else likes and they don’t like olives. We were talking about something else and I just casually mentioned it as an aside. Three weeks later I came home and it was sitting on our kitchen island with a heart drawn on the box. It wasn’t the pizza. It was confirmation that he was listening to me and not just paying attention to his phone. Being attentive is important. OOP: I thought I was being sexy and cute too! She's my first real relationship, so I acknowledge that I'm inexperienced here, but I thought it was a very innocent way to flirt. It's not like I bought her underwear. Commenter 2: NTA. What on earth? You did something nice. She should have said thank you. My husband comments if he likes my perfume. She presumably buys the vanilla scented shampoo because she also likes the smell. Making it out like you’re some weird freak for also liking the smell is wild. It’s like she was looking for something to fight about. OOP: Yeah, I don't get it. Liking certain smells is normal, right? Isn't that the point of scented things? And perfume? It's not a creepy thing to like. Commenter 3: Does she often pick fights and criticize you like this? You did nothing wrong. Yes smelling good is sexy. I’ve had women ask me what laundry detergent I used because they loved the way my clothes smelled and wanted to be reminded of me. Your gf is being weird OOP: We fight sometimes, but not often. This is the first fight that felt completely out of left field. Usually I see where she is coming from, but this time I am so confused. Commenter 4: NTA. She’s definitely off. You love the smell of vanilla, especially on her. This isn’t odd. It doesn’t mean you want to bang the first woman you see wearing vanilla, either. Jesus. We are human. We each gravitate to particular scents. We have likes and dislikes. What’s wrong with her?!! You didn’t mention your age, hoping you’re teenagers ? OOP: I'm 19, and she's 20. Downvoted Commenter: I feel like you're definitely leaving something out here?? How long have you been together, is this the first time you told her you like a scent when it comes to her?? She clearly has some sort of trauma that probably needs to be worked through with you not judgement because she didn't respond properly to something out of the blue OOP: We started dating exclusively four months ago. No, I've told her she smells nice before. The last time we were intimate I said she smelled great, and she responded very positively to that. I didn't specifically say that it was her hair that smelled nice, so maybe she didn't realize that's what I was referring to. Commenter 5: Did she grow up conservative or really sheltered? OOP: No, her parents are very progressive. They are supportive of her bisexuality. We met once and they're very cool. Commenter 6: I don't think you're going to have a long relationship with this one she's trying to find trouble. Give her lots of space and never buy anything for her ever again so she can complain about that. Maybe ask her does she wear perfume and why? If she's worried about this why doesn't she use unscented products? I dump her she sounds like a weirdo. She will be the one to put charges against you for any minor thing. OOP: She doesn't use perfume, but she uses scented products and they all smell great. To me the scented soap smell is better than perfume, more subtle, more... I'm not sure which word to use. It's nicer. I've always liked that about her. I didn't think it was weird.   Update: January 5, 2026 (next day) So yesterday my girlfriend didn't like it that I took it upon myself to buy her vanilla shampoo when I was picking some things up for her at the store. We met up at her apartment again this morning for breakfast and I asked if we could talk about our boundaries and expectations, because I never want to make her feel uncomfortable. She agreed that we should talk. She said that when she visited her family over winter break she had time to think about our relationship and talk to her parents and sister about me. She said that space and perspective made her realize some things. The first thing she realized is that she isn't happy that we always meet at her apartment. I said I completely understand that and she is welcome to come hang out at mine. When we first started dating she didn't want to visit my apartment often because of my four roommates, but things change and I get that. She still doesn't want to hang out at my apartment because of my four roommates though. She said that my living situation is too crowded and it bothers her. I asked if she wanted me to move, and she said she would like it if I made a commitment to finding a new living situation by the next semester. Since the next semester is a long way off this isn't unreasonable, but I was hesitant. I really like my living situation. My friends and I help each other out a lot. I don't necessarily want to live alone, and it is expensive. She can afford to live alone, but I don't necessarily think I could. I explained that I didn't think I could afford it. She suggested I ask my parents for money, which isn't an option. She also pointed out that I have a part-time job, but that doesn't make me enough money to pay for my own apartment. I asked if me spending too much time at her apartment is the only issue, because I felt like there was more to the shampoo thing. She said yes, that she didn't like that. She said she didn't like the idea that I'm constantly thinking about having sex with her, and that it made her feel disrespected. I said I'm not constantly thinking about having sex with her. I told her it's more that I really like her, and sometimes she does things and I think they are sexy, but that doesn't mean I necessarily want to have sex at that moment. It's just my internal monologue going "that was sexy." That wasn't the right way to explain it. She didn't seem to understand where I was coming from. She asked me what was going through my head when I was at the store and if I was thinking about having sex with her. I said I was thinking about the store, the items I needed to buy, inflation, etc, and then I saw the shampoo and I thought about how she uses it and it makes her hair smell amazing, and I bought it. She asked if I specifically thought about the way her hair smelled the last time we had sex, and I said yes, but it wasn't like I had a full sex fantasy in the store. It was a momentary thought. She said that isn't normal and I might have tourettes or ADHD or OCD or some other condition that causes intrusive thoughts. I'm really glad I made the last post because I was worried about what she said, but then I remembered all the commentators that mentioned also feeling the same way about scents. I told her I posted about our conversation in an anonymous online forum and several people feel the same way I do about smell. I said I think it is normal to feel that way about scents, but maybe it isn't ubiquitous. She said it isn't normal, and I might want to talk to a doctor about potentially having hypersexuality. Between her not liking my living situation and her not liking that I am attracted to her smell (which is probably my fault because I wasn't doing a good job of explaining things) I realized we just weren't compatible. I told her I thought maybe we had different needs for a relationship and maybe would be better as friends. She said she was disappointed in me but that she agreed. We hugged it out. I am a little bummed, but we were only dating for four months. Thanks for being my normalcy barometer, since I don't have one for relationships yet. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Buddy, she wanted you to tank your financial situation for a relationship of four months??? I know you like this woman, but you dodged a bullet. And liking how someone smells is perfectly normal. 🤦🏽‍♀️ OOP: I think she was just communicating. She wants a partner that has their own place. It's fair for her to let me know that. That doesn't work for me right now, so we aren't compatible. That doesn't make her wrong or a bad girlfriend, just not the right girlfriend for me, and right now I'm not the right boyfriend for her. Commenter 2: You handled that well and you both made the right call. Thank you for the update. She said that isn't normal and I might have Tourette’s or ADHD or OCD or some other condition that causes intrusive thoughts Don’t listen to this. OOP (downvoted): I think I just did a bad job of explaining myself. I think she was imagining that I'm constantly seeing things that make me think about having sex with her. It's more that my mind (and I think this is very common) is a stream of thought. I'm constantly thinking about a lot of things. Every once in a while a thought will be sexual, but it isn't constant, and it doesn't effect my ability to do regular things. I just had trouble verbalizing that to her. Commenter 3: You did the right thing. She clearly has issues: "hypersexuality" indeed! You just dodged a long-term bullet. Hopefully your next girlfriend will be saner... OOP: Well it's a new semester, so I will have the chance to meet a lot of new people and hopefully click with someone nice! Commenter 4: Scent is the sense that is directly linked to memory and emotion, much more so than our other senses, so your reaction was perfectly normal. It's pretty fucked up she'd try to turn a very human response into you having a medical condition, I hope you see that and don't let it affect your self-worth. You deserve much better! OOP: Thank you. I was anxious about it, but then I thought of all the people who told me they also feel that way about smell. So I'm not going to dwell on it. OOP on the financial background involved and if the ex has bought something for him OOP: I think we just come from different financial backgrounds, and maybe she doesn't understand my situation is different from hers. + She has bought me things though. She bought me a new pair of shoes, which is more expensive than a grocery run. They're really nice shoes. OOP responds to a downvoted commenter regarding the goals in a relationship OOP: I think that in the future I want to date a woman that likes being thought of as sexy and that wants me to be sexy for her. Not all the time, obviously but sometimes. I think this experience taught me that is something I value in a partner.   Latest Update here: BoRU #2   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Hair perfume recommendations
Hi everyone! I was wondering if any of you had any hair perfume recommendations? OR as fragrance girlies what do you use that’s not regular perfume in your skin care/hair care routine to keep you smelling good? My shampoo and conditioner just leave a “clean/fresh” smell, which is good, but I am always jealous of girls who have hair with a light smell of whatever “flavoured” shampoo/conditioner/hair products they used. Thank you! **EDIT: Thank you all for the responses!!! I’m looking forward to trying some of these!! Waking up to these responses feels like Christmas LOL! submitted by /u/AshyElders to r/FemFragLab [link] [comments]

AITA for trying to set a boundary with my little sister after she opened my birthday present?
23F, little sister is 13F. I live back & forth between my mum’s and my dad’s house. All of my siblings are half-siblings on my dad’s side. I love my little sister but lately I've been getting annoyed about certain boundaries she crosses. She’s obsessed with face cream, hand cream, body spray, perfume, any hair products that smell good, lip gloss/balm - she has a very big collection of all these things. I once sat and counted how many lip stuff she has accumulated over the years and I counted 37. Despite having TONS of her own, she always asks to borrow mine and often ends up using up the entire thing (one of my perfumes was almost completely used up because she would spray it at least 20 times every time she used it) She gets upset if I don’t share my stuff with her. For example, I got a body mist from Bath & Body Works recently because I loved the smell. I decided to leave it at my mum’s house. My sister saw it in the background during a facetime and said “oh that looks like it smells good, can you bring it the next time you come here?!” and I jokingly said something along the lines of “I think we’ve got more than enough perfumes at dads”, and she was visibly upset. I’m quite a patient person so I brush all of this off bc she’s my lil sister and that's just what siblings do, right? But this recent situation has really upset me and I don’t know if I’m overreacting or not. So: It was my birthday on Tuesday. I went to my dad’s to celebrate after work. When I sat down to open presents I noticed that all of them were intact except one, of which the packaging had been ripped open and the contents removed. Hm, weird, so I asked my little sister what happened and she told me that it was one of my brother’s gifts to me (a set that included hand cream, a nail file, a nail/cuticle oil, and a little nail clipper) and she “really wanted to try it” and couldn’t wait for me to open it so she decided to go ahead and open it herself and try everything out. Half the hand cream had been squeezed out of the tube, the nail file was used because it had those tell tale scratches on it, and the small nail/cuticle oil bottle wasn’t closed properly so it was also opened. I understand that, in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t a big deal, but it made me sad that she had just gone and opened my gift like that without even thinking to consult me first. I said to her, verbatim, “You need to stop thinking all of my things are automatically yours too.” Her mum taught her that everything that belongs to your siblings also belongs to you. Her philosophy: siblings share everything. So, setting a boundary is very difficult; My sister got mad because I “never share” my things with her anymore and am “purposely” leaving some of my stuff at my mum’s place to avoid her using them. Her mum called me “quite selfish” for belittling my own sister for wanting to be “closer to me” by borrowing my things. AITA? WIBTA if I continued to be harsh about these boundaries? submitted by /u/lalaokoklalaokok to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

My last dollars spent here - EVER
I ordered $320 worth of product during the sale, 3 travel size Killian perfumes, big size necessaire body lotion, body oil, and their new lippie, K18 volume spray, and Kérastase hair leave in. I received my box today (after having a HORRIBLE day) and was so excited to open it. Ripped it open and it has ONE item in it, the lotion. Rechecked my app and it says everything shipped together. Package 1 of 1, package weight approx 4 pounds on the label. The lotion in the box weighed 1.5 pounds. This is how I received it (pictured). Got on chat, was told there was nothing they could do. Called, was told there’s nothing they can do. Talked to a supervisor, told there’s nothing they can do and that they will not escalate further. For some backstory here, I’ve never even returned anything to Sephora, never had a single issue with anything in shipping that could cause me to look like a red flag, and I’ve been rouge every year for the last 10+ years. I am infuriated by this entire situation and the supervisor even acted like I was lying because “they checked the fed ex label and it said it weighed as if everything was in it”. Sephora will never get another penny from me.

A Spa Day & A Trip To Rehab - Getting Your Laundry Back To Looking Clean and Smelling Amazing
You’ve been referred here because you’ve got persistent stains, underarm buildup or a funky smell in your laundry due to oils not being removed thoroughly. This post was last modified 12/11/2025 - it now emphasizes the How of Spa Day instead of including the Why And When. You're Not Alone r/Laundry gets many posts a day about strange odors and persistent greasy stains. Many people recommend this technique or a variation thereof to get textiles suffering from these extremely common problems back to a clean fresh state. What In The Hell Is Spa Day? Spa Day is an intensive enzymatic reset process for textiles that have developed specific stubborn problems related to oily buildup, that won’t wash out in one or two typical washes with optimal product and program selection. It uses concentrated solutions of specific components to degrade oily soils, detach them from fibers and rinse them away. First the items are soaked in the Spa Day soak and then they are washed in the washer in a Rehab Wash to remove the things the Spa Day soak loosened up. There’s an entire post about What, Why & Why Not at What Is Spa Day? How To Spa Day What Do You Need? Container and Chemistry Holding It Together - You need a suitable container. Stainless steel, ceramic, glass or plastic containers large enough to hold the affected textiles but small enough to require a modest quantity of water are best. I am partial to beer coolers, as they hold heat for a long time and often have a drain spigot. If you’re using fragranced products and are concerned about your cooler retaining the perfumes or odor from the textiles, line it with a heavy garbage bag before adding the solution. Front Loading washing machines, even with soak cycles, are not amenable to Spa Day as you can’t keep the items submerged. If your Top Loading washing machine can do high volume soaking (with everything not just damp, but completely submerged) for 8-12 hours, that's a fine option as well, but you're using 20 gallons of water to do it and 5 cups of detergent is expensive. The smallest practical container that will completely submerge the items is the better, more economical answer. Please Don’t Use The Bathtub! - It’s much harder to keep the items submerged in a bathtub and they cool off much faster than in a container with less exposed surface area. The heat helps the chemistry work overnight. You don’t need any room for the items or solution to circulate. You just need the items saturated and submerged. If You Want To Keep The Bath Heated - sous vide circulators or a warming plate or similar gentle heat maintenance can improve Spa Day results if you’re not using a cooler or similar insulated container. Set your bath temperature to maintain 120F/50C - do not exceed 150F/65C as it damages the enzymes before they are exhausted. Chemistry - It’s As Easy As LOAD (formerly A,B,C,L)! Broadly you need four chemistry components; this can take two or three different products, depending on your personal preferences: Lipase - an enzyme that biologically cuts oils from animal or vegetable sources into four smaller pieces that detergent can more easily remove Oxygen - color-safe oxygen bleach lightens stains and rips up odor molecules Ammonia - a gas-in-water booster to improve oily soil removal and help surfactants remove oils from fibers Detergency - surfactants to attach degraded oil to water and rinse it away from the fibers The catch is, no one product can contain all four letters. They’re incompatible for storage, so it takes either two or three products to tick all the boxes. Give Me An A! - Ammonia No matter what other chemistry decisions you make, you will need a source of A - Ammonia, any 2-25% solution of ammonium hydroxide will work. Clear, sudsy or lemon doesn’t matter - it’s the ammonia that counts, not the additives. In the US and Canada it’s typically sold in large plastic jugs in the cleaning products aisle with window and hard surface cleaners, usually on the bottom shelf. It’s also available at home improvement and hardware stores. Outside the US and Canada it may be more easily found in hardware stores than grocers and hypermarkets. The most common brand available in the US is Walmart’s Great Value Clear Ammonia, found on the bottom shelf, under the window and floor cleaners. You will use 2 cups of 2% solution, 1 cup of 5% solution, 1/2 cup of 10% solution or 3T of 25% solution. A Note About Ammonia and Bleach: I’m frequently asked about the hazards of mixing ammonia and bleach. These are real. For chlorine bleach liquids or tablets, the risks of mixing with ammonia are injury and death. That’s what the dire warnings about mixing ammonia and bleach are about - chlorine bleaches, like Clorox or Cloralen. Mixing chlorine bleach and ammonia forms chloramine, a hazardous compound that can injure lung tissue with relatively minor exposure. Don't do that. Ever. You shouldn’t mix full-strength liquid ammonia with dry oxygen booster either, especially in a sealed container, as it will burst as it releases ammonia gas. This is why the instructions for Rehab Wash are very careful to minimize contact between dry powders containing oxygen bleach and the ammonia liquid. The risk from mixing ammonia and oxygen bleaches diluted in water, as used in this method, are limited to getting it on your hair and waiting 45 minutes to an hour, at which point you will be a brassy blonde. Or blond, if you’re a dude. Ammonia + peroxide is the secret of bottle blondes everywhere. It’s perfectly safe. I’m not out here trying to kill people. Follow the method directions below carefully. L, O & D - You Have Choices This has historically been the source of the most questions about the process. Hence why each of the four options has been split out into a separate linked document. Choose an approach before proceeding. Measurements for each component in both stages are in the linked document, along with regional example products. Option 1 - Complete Powder/Tablet in the Spa Day Soak, Complete Powder/Tablet + Liquid Ammonia In Rehab Wash Option 2 - Complete Booster Powders for Spa Day Soak, Complete Booster Powder + Any Detergent + Liquid Ammonia in Rehab Wash Option 3 - Lipase Detergent + Added Oxygen Booster in Spa Day Soak, Lipase Detergent + Added Oxygen Booster + Liquid Ammonia in Rehab Wash Option 4 - *NEW* Enzyme Booster + Any Detergent In Spa Day Soak, Enzyme Booster + Any Detergent + Liquid Ammonia in Rehab Wash Next Stop, Canyon Ranch - It's Time For Your Clothes To Have A Spa Day - The Soak Step S1 - Prepare The Textiles - Sort the affected textiles generally by color - it’s best practice to use separate soaks and washes for at least darks, colors, and whites + neutrals. Red cottons are notorious for bleeding color throughout their lives, so consider soaking them entirely separately. Step S2 - Prepare The Spa Day Solution - dissolve the Spa Day Soak components in hottest possible tap water (up to 140F/60C) and stir until completely dissolved using a wood, plastic or stainless steel implement. You must ensure that all of the granules of the powder are completely dissolved before adding the fabrics. Failure to do so can result in permanent discoloration of items. If you’re unsure if your powder components have fully dissolved, wait five minutes and stir again. The single biggest source of textile damage from Spa Day occurs when product is not completely dissolved and the wet particles settle on clothing causing focal bleaching. This is most common with Vanish/Resolve/Napisan powders in Option 2 chemistry, but all products with TAED are at risk of this side effect. Be especially careful to stir any foam back down into the bath if you're using Vanish/Resolve/Napisan , as fine particles can be suspended in the foam. You will not add any liquid ammonia in this step, regardless of which chemistry option you choose. Step S3 - Add The Textiles - submerge the textiles completely in the Spa Day solution, squeezing and pressing to ensure complete saturation. Textiles need to be completely underwater for the duration of the Spa Day soak. A ceramic plate or mug, or white cotton towels are an excellent way to keep items submerged. Covering the container to keep the heat in longer improves results. Step S4 - Relax And Enjoy Better Things For Better Living Through The Miracle Of Science- Soak 8-12 hours. Just let the process work. No need to stir. Watch cat videos or something. Step S5 - Drain - Drain the textiles. Don’t wring or twist or particularly try to dewater the textiles. Send Those Dirty, Dirty Textiles Straight To Rehab To Clean Up Their Acts! - The Rehab Wash(es) Now it’s time to wash off what the Spa Day soak has loosened up. Enter the Rehab Wash. Step W1 - Load Dry Powders & Liquid Detergent In The Machine - using the dosages and products described in Options 1-4 above, place any liquid detergent components in the dispenser of your machine (if so equipped) and place any powders either in the dispenser configured for powder (if only using powders) or in the bottom of the wash basket. Do not combine liquid and powder ingredients in the dispenser. If you have no detergent dispensers, place the powders and any liquid detergent in different sections of the wash basket so they don’t form clumps. Step W2 - Load Drained Textiles In The Machine - Place a load worth of damp, drained textiles in the machine. For front loaders, this is typically about 75% of the way up the glass when damp. For top-load machines, use as many pieces as you would typically wash, accounting that they will take up less space while sodden. Step W3 - Add The Ammonia - Pour the dose of the A - Ammonia liquid directly on the textiles - the amount ranges from 3T to 2 cups depending on concentration. Most household ammonia in the US and Canada is around 4-5%, so you’ll use 1 cup/250 mL. Do not pour the A - Ammonia in the washer first, nor pour it directly on any powdered products. If you're using a top-load washer, and you're concerned about ammonia odors, allow the washer to fill completely and then pour the ammonia directly into the water. Step W4 - Wash - It's important to start the wash quickly after the textiles are loaded - the powder they're touching is water-activated, and you don't want damp concentrated powder on the items for very long. Wash with a heavy duty cycle, warm or hot water as appropriate for the fabrics, and set the soil level as high as possible to extend the wash process if possible. Choose as many extra rinses as available to reduce any residue left behind. Do not add fabric softener, scent beads, chlorine bleach, borax, washing soda, v1negar, live animals or your hopes and dreams to the wash process. You may add citric acid or v1negar to the softener dispenser to reduce the final pH of the clothing. Please note: Rehab Wash may produce ammonia odors, especially in conventional top-loading machines - in fact, it may smell like the Windex factory exploded. Don’t worry - these fumes will disappear when the fabric is dry. Ammonia is a gas in water; it will evaporate completely leaving nothing behind. You may want to crack a window, turn on a vent fan or avoid the area while washing. People vary substantially in their tolerance of ammonia fumes. Step W5 - Dry - If you’re treating stains or visible underarm buildup, hang to dry when the cycle completes. If you’re treating odors, you may tumble dry on delicate/low heat until mostly dry, but hang to finish, just in case there is a lingering odor. It’s MUCH more effective to rewash when the lingering bits haven’t been baked in with thorough high-temperature drying. Step W6 - Evaluate - If visible stains or perceptible odor remain, you may need to repeat the rehab washes. Start from Step W1 of Rehab Wash If the stains or odors aren’t removed within three rehab washes, they may be permanent and they may not be oil stains at all. Please see Polyquat Spots for details on a common cause of oily-looking stains that can’t be removed by conventional methods. Step W7 - Bask In Your Success - Your textiles should now be clean to touch, feel and smell. Nice work! Keeping It Clean - Maintenance washes: Regular use of any laundry product with lipase (see The Lipase List for a link to a spreadsheet with a maintained list of products) will remove oily stains and prevent buildup and odors. All oily soil removal is improved by using at least a warm / 40C cycle and residue removal is improved by using an acidic rinse product like Downy Rinse Out Odor, Gain Rinse & Renew, Tide Boost, citric acid or v1negar. Citric Rinsing has details on residue-removal rinsing. Pretreating spots and stains with a pretreater or liquid detergent with lipase can virtually guarantee first-wash removal - see the pretreater tab on the sheet linked from The Lipase List ).

Carl Tanzler, obsessed with his patient Elena de Hoyos, took her corpse after her death at 22 and lived with it for 7 years. He bound her bones with piano wire, used glass eyes, replaced skin with wax-soaked silk, made a wig from her hair, filled her body with rags, and masked the decay with perfume

Do you use a hair perfume?
This was new to me, a friend recently was spraying something on her hair and the room instantly smelled of vannila and baked cupcakes lol. She got a lot of compliments on it, that's when I heard of hair perfume. Also those movies where the guy smells the girl's hair.. I get it now (altho mine would smell of rosemary oil lol). Do you use hair perfumes? Which ones do you recommend for someone who likes floral scents? submitted by /u/Dee_TP to r/beauty [link] [comments]

Is hair perfume actually a different product than regular perfume?
This might be a stupid question but every time I saw a bottle of "hair perfume," I've assumed it was just regular perfume but sold as something else. Am I wrong? Is there something in the formulation of hair perfume that makes it different? Should I not spray my perfume on my hair? ​ submitted by /u/Teacher_Crazy_ to r/fragrance [link] [comments]

Do you use hair perfume? If so what kind?
I’m struggling right now to find a new hair perfume to use. I spent some time in Korea and came back with a lovely hair perfume by Yuge called Rosy Sunset. It would lasts about a day and a half in my hair. Even after washing my hair I could faintly smell it and didn’t weight my hair down or make it feel greasy/dry. But I have run out and I can’t get more because it seems to be discontinued. The only sites I have found it on are formatted for Korean/asian shoppers so using my American phone number and address prevent me from ordering. I’ve bought two hair perfumes on Etsy as alternatives but I ended up not liking both the smell and feel of them on my hair The closest replacement was Rose of No Mans Land from Byredo but it leaves my hair feeling a bit strange and it doesn’t last nearly as long and costs a bit over twice as much as the one I got in Korea. I’m hoping to find something similar in smell or something just as good in general. TLDR: looking for a new hair perfume to replace one I can no longer acquire. submitted by /u/thisputa to r/fragrance [link] [comments]
