Q & A

Why do people often not notice that their hair smells bad?

The bad odor in hair actually comes from the scalp, where oils, conditioners, and protectants build up and marinate for days. While you might not notice it, others definitely can, which is why it's important to properly clarify your scalp.

What is the best way to clarify a dry scalp?

For a dry scalp, you should perform an oil massage before showering. Use oils like coconut, jojoba, or almond oil to dissolve the grease and gunk without stripping the scalp’s natural oils.

How can I clarify my hair if I have an oily scalp?

If you have an oily scalp, it's best to clarify your hair once a week using an apple cider vinegar rinse. Mix 2 to 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with a cup of water and pour it onto your scalp, leaving it for about 5 minutes before rinsing.

What’s the proper way to clean a hairbrush?

Start by removing any trapped hair, then soak the brush in a mix of warm water, clarifying shampoo, and baking soda. After soaking, scrub the bristle base, which holds the most buildup. This keeps your brush clean and prevents oily buildup from being reintroduced to your hair.

Why is it important to use a hair perfume instead of regular perfume?

Hair perfumes are specifically designed to keep your hair smelling fresh without causing dryness, unlike regular perfumes which contain alcohol that can damage hair.

How can glycolic acid improve body odor?

Glycolic acid helps prevent bacteria from thriving on your skin, which is responsible for body odor. Applying it to underarms and feet twice a week can reduce odor without needing deodorant.

What is the role of flossing in oral hygiene?

Flossing is essential because it removes the debris and plaque that get stuck between teeth, which a toothbrush can't reach. It’s a critical step for preventing bad breath and maintaining overall oral hygiene.

What is oil pulling, and how does it help oral hygiene?

Oil pulling involves swishing a tablespoon of high-quality coconut oil in your mouth for 5 minutes. It helps reduce bacteria and improves overall oral hygiene by pulling toxins from the mouth.

Why is hydration important for hygiene and body odor?

Drinking enough water is crucial because it helps flush out toxins from your body and keeps your skin hydrated. This makes it harder for odors to develop from within.

What’s the most effective way to deal with bad odors down there, especially during a period?

Instead of using products, drink cranberry juice (natural, not sugary) a few times a week. This helps manage odor naturally without disrupting the body’s balance, particularly during menstruation.
