Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic Hair & Scalp Treatment Oil
I really like Intelligent Nutrients USDA Certified Organic Hair & Scalp Treatment Oil. It moisturizes my hair without it feeling greasy or weighed down. I rub a little in my hands and apply it to the ends of my hair both damp (before my leave-in conditioner) and dry. The scent is very faint and pleasing…almost non-existent really, and doesn’t compete with the scents of my other products. The slim dark amber bottle this natural hair and scalp oil comes in is protective and very easy to use. It’s perfect to... Read The Rest →
