Pre-Shampoo Conditioner

I love this product but it's packaging is a big problem so I did not give it a 5. Thus product solved scalp problems for me that were getting quite unpleasant, constant itching, build up on scalp and more. This oil fixed it all and my hair is better than it's been in a long time. I put it on liberally and massage it into my scalp and, if possible, leave it on for an hour before shampooing. Some reviewer said it smelled bad. it has almost no smell and what there is is pleasant. Packaging: The bottle it is in always has a big dent in the side but that isn't a big problem. The bottle top leaks a lot. Every time I invert the bottle to put some oil in my hand when I turn the bottle back upright oil pours liberally out of the bottom of the cap and down the side of the bottle. There is no way to tighten the cap enough to prevent this. The cap is marginally too big. There's always oil on my bathroom counter around the bottle. It's a mess. The bottles come completely covered in a plastic wrap and maybe this is why they do. I wish the manufacturer would fix this, if they do I would recommend this more to friends without having to tell them what a mess it is to use.

This arrived factory-sealed, and when I opened it, the consistency was very liquid and I lost quite a bit of product down the drain right away. That's OK,though, because it smells horrid. I am starting to get used to Neem in other products, it is a strong, earthy odor that is mildly unpleasant. However, this product smelled like vegetable cooking oil that has gone 'off'. I really did not want to put it in my hair, but my hair is so dry and damaged that it really needs some help. So I went ahead, despite the odors. Unfortunately, this product did not do anything to restore or moisturize my hair. I then washed with neem shampoo (a pleasant smell) which seemed to get most of the odor out. I don't think I'll be able to use this again, even if it did work, just because the smell is so bad.

I love using the pre-shampoo conditioner. For extra conditioning wrap a warm towel damp towel around your head after massaging the oil in. Tip for shampooing- apply your shampoo to dry hair then wet the hair and shampoo as usual. You will have no oil residue after, just shiny conditioned hair.

I use this after I shampoo. I mix a small amount in with a leave in conditioner. Helps combat the dryness we have in Colorado and its effects on my hair.
