NOW WEAR THIS: THE PEPLUM TOP

Beauty Find ManeTeeze hair perfume

Carole — Thu, 10 May 2012 13:00:20 +0000

SWEET SMELLS

Cover-up odors in your mane with this fragrance for your hair

Hair can absorb the smell of surrounding food or smoke and even sweat post-workout. To fight any unwanted scent in our hair in between washes, we like to reach for one of ManeTeeze’s sweet smelling hair perfumes ($34.99, per bottle or $99.99 for pack of three, available at select boutiques & salons), which contain a high concentration of fragrance, but in a formula gentler for hair than a traditional eau de toilette. We love the vanilla scented Social Butterfly, the aroma of chocolate and caramel in Haut Mess and the fragrance of amber in Black Widow.
