Aquolina Pink Sugar Hair Perfume
Like I’ve mentioned before, I am really surprised that products designed specifically to fragrance the hair aren’t more popular. Perfumes or body sprays don’t really work with the hair - silicones, gels, and other light oils are more ideal. Alcohol is a bad idea with hair in general because it is drying and can also potentially mess with colored hair.
Aquolina, with its stellar bestseller Pink Sugar, is down with that. They offer a 100ml hair perfume with silicones (a bit can protect and shine the hair, but too much can weigh it down like a greaseball, so go gentle). it’s quite cute and the micro-mist is easy to use.
It’s only $15 at AvenueYou but can probably be found in many other brick & mortar stores, especially in Europe.
Perfumed hair I think is especially nice out of doors, or in a smoky bar or club. Carry a little container of perfume and prevent yucky smoke smells from attaching to your locks instead.

I love this product!
Its great as a finishing spritz to tame the fly-aways, and its the perfect little cherry on the top of your perfuming ritual.
(I am also guilty of using at as a quick freshen up spray perfume in the car- the silicone dries instantly and didnt stain my white cotton blouse.)
Its a lot lighter in scent than the EDP, but I experienced an almost all day staying power and would often snatch a swatch of hair and inhale throughout the day.
On days when I cant be bothered going through the hair straightening routine with the pre-hairdrying serum, the GHD’s, straightening spray and finishing serum- I simply spray my wet hair liberally with Pink Sugar Hair Mist and allow it to dry naturally. The result is a frizz controlled, soft and shiny head of hair that smells divine. On dry hair, you want to be a little more frugal, unless you like the look of your hair being dipped in a deep fryer of cooking oil.
I give this product 8 stars out of ten. One star is lost because of the price it costs to get this precious nectar all the way to my home in New Zealand (okay, so I’m lashing out unfairly..) and one star is lost because I’m dubious about how good these silicones really are for ones hair.
But, in saying this- I’m happy to bury my head in the sugar for the pleasure of how delicious this smells, and how it makes my hair look and feel.

P.S. AvenueYou (selling them for $15 per bottle) had great customer service, fast international shipping and even send a free gift with purchase. But QVC.com win hands down for price- $22.50 for 2 bottles if you live in the US. Ebay sellers are charging around $20+ for one bottle. I paid $30USD off Ebay for my first bottle until I found AvenueYou!

Thanks for the great review. I know that shipping to NZ/AUS can be brutal, and that prices for US/UK brands are outrageous. Glad you can get your hands on this cheaply enough.
