it is so hard to have long locs that smell good all the time. I really struggle to make my locks smell good. When you have a lot of hair and you have long hair, it is really easy for them to carry the smell of whatever is around them and most of the time it is not an amazing smell. The other day I was at a bonfire and I smelled like I was at a bonfire for the next three days. And I don't think the solution is just to keep washing your hair because at a certain point that is going to dry out your hair or make your hair seem messy and frizzy. It is not the solution to put a bunch of product in it because that is also going to make your hair have lint. What are y'all doing to get rid of your hair smell?
