what oils do u use for scent??

ive been wanting my dreads to smell good. most of the time they smell like nothing. my question is, what oils do u use that smell really good?

 

Motor oil mostly. But thats not intentional

 

what do you wash with??
i sometimes put lavender or lemon in my bronners shampoo.

 

I use the scented Bronner's bar (rose).

But I also make my own body spray and I do spray my hair with it. It has Lavendar, Rosewood, Patchouli and Ylang ylang.

For dudes, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Bergamot

 

i usually use just water and a lil TTO. ill throw in some baking soda every month or so to give em a good washin.

 

Jojoba, Avocado, and Almond oil for a light oil

OR USE MUSLIM OILS MAN

 

patchouli

 

Nothing, When I've used oils with washing I found it never really stayed smelling once they'd dried out. So I guess hair smell is my scent. mmmm.

 

Snap.

 

Add more...?

I just washed with patchouli and it's lingered for at least 2 days. It's subtle and not over powering. You can only smell it you put your nose up to my hair, no different than using patchouli shampoo. I also washed with lemon juice, baking soda, and sea salt.

 

how many drops of patchouli do u use?

 

i always rubbed peppermint oil on my hands and into my hair, and smelled like a pack of minty lifesavers when my hair was locked up, once in a while i would use nag champa oil like that

 

3-5. Patchouli is really strong. I may try 6-7 next time to see if it makes a difference.

If you want your hair to smell like the fragrance, just rub 1 or 2 drops in your hair with your fingers. If you want a much more subtle smell, add it the water (or soap you use that sort of thing) you wash with.
