I appreciate you shared nice information here. I know that neem is stinky I put some on scalp and could still smell it in my hair 6 months later. Neem is more for acne and dandruff problems. Amla is better for growth and strength etc. |

| Neem has a particularly strong smell. I am sorry, but I personally prefer Pro-Natural's Argan Oil. I leave it in and it somehow "wraps" my hair and keeps it from getting split ends. I use it after every wash. |
