Substance Abuse Treatment: Is There Anyway to Do the Mayo Deep Treatment Without the Smell?

Question by Christiana: Is there anyway to do the Mayo Deep Treatment without the smell?

Answer by Yolan
TWO THINGS; 1st: MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do for your hair…more important than shampooing, treatments and daily conditioning…that is using a LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER…ALWAYS.
