There is another product line called Pooka Pure and Simple. They are all natural and the scent of everything, Body Butters, oils, body scrubs is lite. It does not overpower you. They have Shea n' Olive Hair Butter, which leaves your hair looking sooo smooth and healthy looking and, they also have Nectar Hair Oil and Treatment which I have used as a hot oil treatment. This makes your hair so shiny...not greasy. Their prices are so reasonable. I've started seeing them in some of the Whole Food Stores as well. Check out their website at pookapureandsimple.com Also, I was at store and saw an article about them in this months (Nov. 2007) Black Enterprise.

Why not just mix up an oil hairdressing of your own? This place seems to have good prices (a gallon for $19 should last you a very long time even with 2 heads of hair).<br /> http://mountainroseherbs.com/learn/oilprofile/coconut-virgin.php<br /> <br /> -Brian (can't stand coconut, but uses extra light olive oil homemade spray in his kid's hair) Want coconut?

It works GREAT and I even reapply to redo ponytails or braids a couple of times before washing again. If you run it in really well, the shine lasts and lasts. Found it at the hair products store at our mall.<br /> <br /> ~Beth We use a 3 min. conditioner and Olive Oil hair products, and just found a great moisturizer called ‘Mizani Rose H2O Conditioning Hairdress’.

Weekly we use the Rosemary Shampoo and Tui Hair Smoothie. I really like the scents, but don't feel that they are as strong as the ones you are describing, so maybe its just a matter of trying different Carol's Daughter's products.<br /> I think Erin recently highlighted (on her blog) a new line of products she found that works great on Belane's hair, so you might drop her a line to find out about the strength of the scents.
