I loved the smell of

"I loved the smell of the oil, the consistency wasn't oily at all, so I didn't have to worry about getting it all over my hands or fingers. I did also look into this before I bought it so thr decision on getting it was thought out properly, an for my type of skin it's sensitive, but not my hair being so thick an needing certain kind of oil, this seemed like the trick. And it worked, it's been a week since I used it and I haven't had much issues with dandruff or flakes. I'll be using it again tomorrow. Definitely recommend these for people with type 4 hair."
