I love my natural products, so does my hair but let’s be
honest, most of them don’t smell that great. It’s not only oils but some
store bought hair products don’t exactly smell like roses either. Who wants to
walk around smelling like castor oil? It’s great for the hair but offensive to
your sense of smell. Furthermore, if like me you were forced to drink castor oil as a child, the smell can be downright traumatic. I know I’m being a bit
dramatic here but you get the drift.
You do get products that are not so bad of course. For
example, I don’t mind the smell of coconut oil or cocoa butter, and I actually
love the smell of shea butter. To me the latter smells like a combination of
bark and rain. Pure natural goodness!!
On the opposite scale products like neem oil, hemp seed,
olive, mafura, almond oil, just to name a few, smell like the not so glamorous
side of nature. They’re all great for the hair but very primal smelling, lol.
To be honest I’m not greatly offended by most of the smells,
probably because I tend to prioritise the health benefits. However I do
socialise, and sometimes get self-conscious about some of these natural smells.
Luckily I’ve found a solution.J Mask the smell with
something else; genius really!! There are a few products that I use for this
purpose. Not to say they don’t have health benefits, but I primarily use them
for their fragrance.
Dark and Lovely Amla Legend Oil of Seven Wonders
African Pride Olive Miracle Growth Oil
Lavender Essential Oil – usually added to my daily spritz if
I’m not going to use any of the above oils.
I get most of my oils from Dischem, Clicks, and Faithful to Nature.
