​Wash with a fragrant shampoo and conditioner​

Choose products that are specifically designed with long-lasting fragrance. Look for ingredients like essential oils (lavender, rose, mint) that cling to the hair fibre.

​Avoid overwashing​

Washing too frequently can strip your scalp of natural oils, causing it to produce more oil and odour. 2–3 times per week is ideal for most people.

​Rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar​

Mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water and use it as a final rinse. It neutralises odours and balances scalp pH without leaving a strong vinegar smell.

​Use hair perfume or mist​

Hair mists are lighter than regular perfumes and made to be safe for hair. Spritz a little on your strands and avoid applying to the scalp.

​Dry your hair thoroughly​

Damp hair and scalp can develop a musty smell. Make sure your hair is fully dry after washing or sweating, especially at the roots.

​Keep your scalp clean​

Use a gentle exfoliating scalp scrub once a week to remove sweat, oil, and product buildup that can cause unpleasant odours.
