I have been personally using this oil for last 1 year. I think this is not a bad product buy Patanjali. yes the smell is a bit unpleasant but thats ok when the oil is doing some good.As far as my hair fall is concerned it has reduced.i use it two to three times a week at night and then shampoo it off with Patanjali antidandruff shampoos.since the Oli is thick and sticky so I suggest that dont go out with it on your head or else dirt will accumulate and lead to increase in dandruff and hair fall. Kindly take a shower and wash off the oil before you leave home
