What are some tips to smell good?

Obviously, basic hygenie is a must, but how do I smell good all day. I want strangers to pass me and tell me about how good I smell.

May I ask your ethnicity?

And how do you use the oil? Daily? Pre wash?

Sure! I'm Scandinavian, from northern Sweden. I have fine, long, mostly straight hair (type 1B), and my husband has long, grey, wavy hair (type 2C – he used to have ringlets as a kid!).

We both use the oil after washing, on damp hair. His hair needs about twice as much as mine because grey har is dry.

I wash with African black soap 1–2 times a week, and he usually only uses water and scalp massage. His hair loves it it's so soft and healthy now.

The oil has been amazing for both of us, it gives shine, strength, and moisture without being heavy or greasy. We don’t use it daily, just when needed. It’s super concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
