Avoid smelly hair blowing in the air with these 7 essential oils

 Now listen, I don't hate the messenger but I've heard that hair can give off a bad smell when doing vigorous activities such as dancing or working out.. Embarrassing right? So this post is all about how to avoid a sour odor or smelly hair. 

It got me to thinking about what would be the best natural scents that are pretty much unisex,  can compliment your body perfume as to not compete with it, while not irritating your scalp, lasting for a long time and has many benefits in using them. 

Although I haven't been to an indoor club in a few years, I remember dancing all night until my dance partner and I were the last ones on the floor. As with any intensive working out, swimming, surfing, biking, etc., we've all had smelly hair before which is why I started using essential oils a few years back. 

If you are sensitive to strong scents or are allergic to most perfumed sprays and would rather keep natural products in your hair as opposed to synthetic made ones. These are the perfect scents you can use daily.
