prefer my personal care products fragrance-free because strong scents give me a headache.)

After several weeks of use, my hair is shinier, softer and easy to manage. Even though it’s olive oilbased, it doesn’t leave the hair oily. You get just the right amount of slick needed to tame the strands and keep them flexible and smooth.

The Aromachologie Nourishing shampoo, conditioner and mask are available online and at L’Occitane stores. Prices range from RM110 to

RM168 per product. The Aromachologie Nourishing range is formulated for normal to very dry and highly damaged hair.
