What Product Combinations Did You Use On Your Hair Today?

APB Ayurvedic Oil under Eco Styler for a braid out. I see one or two flakes, so next time, I'll stick with SSI Seyani.

@YvetteWithJoy @IDareT'sHair @rileypak How do Camille Rose products smell?

Hi, gorgeous!

I'm not the best person to ask about smells because many really bother me that don't bother others.

That said, I can barely smell the coconut water DC and style setter, so that's good. I get a faint coconut smell from them.

I don't like the smell of the whipped aloe butter gel, and several of the products have that same smell, such as the twisting butter, which many folks love. It's strong, to me, and does not dissipate quickly, IMO. I will smell some of it in WalMart and report back a description and which products smell the same.

I looooooove the way the CurlMaker gel smells. I get a guava-y or passion fruity, islandy smell that is like aromatherapy for me. Others may have a more accurate description, as my nose is different from most folks.

I have the Ginger Rinse (shampoo), and to me it smells like a faint lemon meringue smell. I'm fine with the smell.

Hopefully you can pop into a Target, WalMart, etc. and test them for your nose. :smile:

I smelled them just now. It's butter cream icing. That's the smell. It doesn't smell bad. It's just strong and I don't want my hair or person to smell like butter cream icing. I don't want to smell that all day, so it's a no for me. They get good reviews performance-wise, though! :up:

This WalMart near Emory in Atlanta only has the pictured products. Both smell like butter cream icing. Besides the aloe whipped butter gel, I can't recall what else also has that scent.

Man my hair is so dry right now..... I rinsed my hair and left it out all night and all day, slept on my satin pillowcase, but, didn't even bother bunning it, went outside and oh man, that outside dryness, sucked the life and moisture out of my hair, I looked like a big ball of frizz.... I had to run to Walmart, so all I have in my head is some Ecostyler on the top of my head to lay down the frizz into a little curly/frizzy flip up...

I don't even know if I want to take this flip up down to wash later :covereyes:
