As from experience, the skunk smell will stay for away but not as strong as day 1. good luck....
Hey Joann, thanks for the suggestion. Fabric softner is a solution that is new to me. I'm thinking that the vinegar wash followed by fabric softner might be good to try. And should make her curls soft and bouncy!
