Step 1: Wash your hair.
To give your hair a pleasant scent, it’s important to ensure that it’s clean.
Use your favorite shampoo to wash your hair thoroughly before you apply any scented or perfumed products.Your hair can often start to smell if it’s extremely greasy.
It’s a good idea to wash it whenever you notice your roots getting particularly oily.
Most shampoos have a pleasant scent themselves that can help perfume your hair.
However, the fragrance from a shampoo typically doesn’t last as long as other products so you should layer it with other perfumed items to keep your hair smelling good all day.
