I have been using Herra Protect Hair Perfume on and off since February to give it a good try out and have to say am impressed!
It was a bit of a random purchase (who goes out to buy hair perfume!) as the Harvey Nichols MOE staff convinced me it was amazing so I thought why not?
The packaging is lovely, the bird motif, black and gold and glass bottle immediate give this product a luxurious feel. It's a perfect sized bottle to fit in your bag and it looks lovely on my bathroom shelf.
It spritzes on easily, it's not sticky, greasy or oily and it doesn't feel like it weighs your hair down. It's light, refreshing and long lasting. The scent is quite fruity and floral but nothing too heavy.
Normally I spritz perfume on my hair after a night out to try and alleviate the smokey smell or in between washes when I've used dry shampoo on the roots to freshen it up a bit, but apparently that's not so great for the hair as the alcohol in perfume dries it out (tsk naughty me!). Although Herra does have alcohol in it.... But apparently only minimal....
Anyway, in addition to the perfume there is the 'protect' side of things. This product includes ingredients rich in antioxidants and also to help protect against UV damage- very prevalent living in Dubai! Read all the info from the back of the label below. It also moisturises hair with glycerine too.
Genuinely I like this stuff but I do find the scent in my hair a little overwhelming (and I hate that it competes with my usual beloved perfume) so I only use one or two spritzes when my hair is up in a pony tail or bun so away from my face. It certainly masks smokey whiffs! I also use it when I head out in the sun to the pool or beach as I like that it has protective uv filters in it.
A little goes a long way and I'll likely be using this for the next year or so! Would I buy it again? Probably not, but if you love the smell then this could easily replace your usual perfume!
