Review (3/5): Smell not as bad as expected/ Cleans great!
I was really apprehensive to try this because of the smell, it's very strong and I agree with other reviewers that it is like a BBQ smell. After trying it I noticed that it definitely stays with you for a bit- but is way less strong than in the bottle. I didn't feel like I needed to wash my hair the next day, it was still very clean feeling and not greasy at all unlike usual. The smell had, by then, dissipated pretty much completely. Also, it didn't leave the smell on anything like my clothes/pillowcase/shower/towel. I felt that, and this is also during winter by the way, that it may have made my scalp a bit dry. I think it is best used in moderation, or for those times when your hair feels really greasy and dirty. If lather is of concern to you- this does lather. It does a great job of deep cleaning and after trying it in conjunction with my conditioner, found that this markedly decreased any leftover odor and helped with dryness as well. I love how natural it is and if you're looking for a natural shampoo that really gets the extra oil out this will definitely work.
