How important is a products smell to you?

[clever]

I love greit oll 9 en 1 but its so smellyAlso,I love the hardcore aphogee but...yuck.Lately I've been jar sniffing before I purchase


Has there ever been a product you've stopped using because of the smell?

 

[mscocoface]

Yes, Neem oil. Just cannot tolerate it for anything.

 

[Saida]

if it smells really bad, I dont care how good it is

 

[Desert Skye]

There was this one Indian Jasmine hair oil that I just could not stand. The smell would go on everything, pillowcase, clothes, towels, etc.

I actually hate the smell of Silicon Mix but I love what it does with my hair. But a nice scent is a great thing...

 

[HoneyDew]

It is very important to me because I love that my hair smells good after shampooing. But, I may compromise when a product is good. I love my Lustrasilk Olive oil Cholesterol, but I don't particularly care for the smell. It does not stink but I just don't care for it. Kinda like a perfume you test - not stinky, but just not your thing. But, I deal with it because my hair responds so well.

If it doesn't smell good, chances are I won't use it... or mix it with something that smells decent. I do use a few stinky things:

Labomba products
Silicon Mix Products

For me it was BT - it really did increase the rate of hair growth, but I could smell the stench of the sulpur even with the scented product or adding essential oils - no such luck. It was always stinky stuff. It is important to me that my hair smell good and DH loves it when it does. He was a trooper throughout my C7G period when I dosed with BT daily. I don't mind one bit making sure that when he sticks his nose in my hair it seems good.

I agree about the Silicon Mix stuff. I don't find that it stinks necessarily, but the perfume is SO strong and obnoxious that I can't get into it.

I agree about the sulfur. I have never smelled BT, but I did make my own product like that. You can still smell the sulfur. It just lingers. It does not smell like sulfur that has been heated up (rotten eggs) or anything like that, but you can still smell that strong sulfur powder. I could not so that. Used it one time and could not deal. Even peppermint oil and rosemary oil could not hide it. My MF also wants my hair to smell good. He was not going to be able to handle that sulfur at all.

I like that the Lustrasilk Shea Butter and Olive Oil ones are mineral oil free. I have not problem with mineral oil generally, but I don't really like them in my deep conditioners. All of the Lekair ones have Mineral oil I think. The Lustrasilk Shea Butter one smells great without mineral oil but it is not as thick as the Olive Oil one, which I prefer. So I apply a little of the Shea butter one first and then the thicker olive oil one. The shea butter one tones it down a bit. The combo has been wonderful, but I smell that olive oil one for DAYS! It is not too bad, but not light and flowery as I prefer my conditioners to be.

Smell is very important...if it smells bad I will not use it.

I havent seen the shea butter. I will have to try and use that, sounds good for my natural hair.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase your mink oil?
How much for how many ounces?

 

[Everything Zen]

Smell is crucial! I love ORS Carrot oil but that smell hangs in the air and makes me feel nauseous! After trying to mix it up with EO and other products I finally used it up and never went back.

 

[fivetimestwo]

For things that will stay in my hair, i.e. sprays, moisturizers, leave-ins etc. I really do care about the smell.

As far as oils or shampoos, I'm not so picky.

But that Vatika oil??? Awww man, it smelled like farm animals and I just couldn't take it

 

[luvinwife]

If I lived alone, I probably would use all the smelly products that everyone says work, but my dh has told me many times not to come to bed with anything smelly on my head and has even gotten up out of bed when i used mtg one time (never used it again), so i only use products that smell good...

Hi
I got it from ebay.It was 24.95 for 5oz
They included a hand written thank you note and they said since its 100% it has that "smell" but it can be fixed by adding a few drops of perfume/oil to it.

Big ole co-sign
I'll use stinky protein treatments and rinse out products, but my leave-ins must smell nice.

Well damn.I wouldn't touch stinky products anymore either.
