If you love the smell of a specific hair product, use the entire line to amp up its aroma. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Shampoo, Conditioner and Sleek Finish 5-in-1 Serum Spray all have fresh, fruity scents — as well as frizz-fighting properties.
Sleep With a Leave-In Conditioner

Sleep With a Leave-In Conditioner
Rake a leave-in conditioner through your hair and let it work overnight. Pick one that’s rich, nourishing and formulated for daily use, like Shu Uemura Essence Absolue Oil-In-Cream. Apply it to your towel-dried hair, then wrap it in a sleeping cap and head to bed. When you wake up the next morning, you’ll have incredibly fragrant hair that will stay scented all day long.

While you’re giving your body a cleansing scrub in the shower, saturate your hair with body wash. Kiehl’s Musk Shower Gel works great for this trick. It has a rich, thick scent that will linger in your hair for hours.
Spray Perfume on Your Hair Brush

Spray Perfume on Your Hair Brush
If you’re not planning on using a ton of product, styling your hair with a perfume-spritzed hair brush is a great way to infuse it with fragrance. It’s also better than spraying perfume directly onto your hair, because most fragrances contain alcohol, which can damage and dry your strands. Mist Maison Margiela REPLICA Under the Lemon Trees onto your hairbrush and comb through your hair for a refreshing, lemon-y scent.
Try Keratin-Building Hair Care

Try Keratin-Building Hair Care
Shampoos, conditioners and masks that build keratin (a natural protein in the skin, hair and nails) are especially fragrant. And because these products’ properties continue to work after they’re applied, the scent stays put. Try the Matrix Biolage KeratinDose line, which will lock in fragrance while it strengthens your strands.
Turn on the Heat

Turn on the Heat
Use heat-activated hair products to lock in a long-lasting fragrance. A blow-drying balm, like Redken Satinwear 02 Prepping Blow-Dry Lotion, protects your hair from damage while adding scent and shine.
