Neem oil for hair growth?

[lerryn]

I bet once you smell this you will think differently.

I actually went out and bought some today because I was so curious of the scent lol!! Maybe I (fortunately?) just have an even worse sense of smell than I realised, but it doesn't smell tooooooo bad to me; still not good by any means but I have other hair oils that I can mix it with that will totally mask the scent, thank goodness

I think it smells like rotten onions and garlic. I have some on my head right now and its actually keeping me awake.

I'll have to wash as soon as I can and also change my pillow case.
This bottle must be stronger then the last, the scent never bothered me this much before.

Yikes, I hope you got to sleep eventually! The bottle I bought today really isn't that strong smelling to me, maybe you just had the misfortune of buying an extra pungent batch this time around fingers crossed that it washes out of everything easily!!

May I offer MY take on this?...
Burning tires, with a top note of rancid peanut butter!

PEANUT BUTTER, YES. The instant I sniffed it I thought it smelt like old, moldy peanut husks and dirt lol

This all reminds me of The Bog of Eternal Stench in Labyrinth

Omg I haven't watched Labyrinth in yearssss, definitely going to have to now solely because of your comment hahaha

I’m so glad I read this post even though I have no interest in using Neem oil and even less interest now!! Haha. I think I tried using it for fleas or garden pests years ago and remember the stickiness of it as being the most repulsive quality that has etched in my memory

My sister uses neem oil on her dog's coat FWIW. He's a Newfoundland so has long, super thick hair and it is so healthy and shiny and strong. I wish my hair looked that good! Maybe I will give it try someday

It shouldn't have been sticky, mine isn't. It does get a little gummy around the cap as the oil is exposed to air and dries some. Its great for garden pests.

Took me three washes to get the smell out of my hair. Thats never happened before. Think mine needs diluted with some sunflower lol.
