the first time i used still product you really feel the peppermint tingly on your scalp and back. Peppermint smell is powerful but dont worry your hair wont smell like peppermint the next day. It does have a natural peppermint smell. The shampoo is easy to use it lathers up nicely and remove well oils and product built up. I do feel like my hair was more shiny and healthy looking after using the product for 30 days. I only noticed a slight decrease in fallouts. If you have thinning hair i do recommend these products, i feel like it helps keep your hair strong and thick and improving your scalp health. I received these products for reviewing purposes #gotitforfree
