    I'm good as long as my head doesn't smell bad. If I'm not scrupulous about washing, I'll get a stinky cheese smell behind each ear. Ewww!!!

    I'm happy with the smell of the products that my hair wants/needs. I can't stand the smell of my own sebum, though, and I have very oily hair, so I wash frequently.

    It's not that important. I like when products make it smell nice but it usually disappears pretty fast and goes back to smelling like hair anyway.

    As long as it doesn't reek, the scent of my hair is rather unimportant.

    It's honestly not super strong after your hair dries. I only smell it when my hair gets wet (or when I sweat during exercise), but it did a good job of masking the ACV scent when I was actually doing the rinse! I used 5 drops in 1 T ACV/3 cups water, and the rinse smelled really strongly of the EO combination. I'd probably do fewer drops next time.

    As long as it doesn't smell like colour remover (ex-hennaheads, you know what I mean) I don't mind. I like the smell of hennaed hair, but my SO says it smells like a wet dog XD I'm thinking of making some scented oils, since I oil my hair anyway, and there are some fragrances I love from every source. Live lavender, rose and other old-fashioned things, no matter if it's a perfume or a candle.

    I'm a fan if rose...even if I don't care much about perfume, I wouldn't mind my hair smelling like roses!

    I mostly fall into the 'as long as I don't dislike it' camp, but honestly I prefer either scentless or a mild sweet smell. Any really strong scents tend to be a bit offputting for me, the product has to be super awesome to make up for a strong fragrance.

    I prefer for my hair to smell good. I use a hair moisturizer that smells so lovely and is basically my perfume now.

    I like it when I can smell yummy scents on me all day - if my hair products don't have a scent, I normally spritz a bit of my perfume over my hair.
