ok so as the topic says.. my hair stinks really bad of sweat thanks to the heat .. is ther eanyway i can stop this because when i let my hair down ( i wear in ponytail for work ) it makes me want to puke at the smell of it...
thoughts??
Whenever I've been sweating I immediately take a shower with shampoo and conditioner. I find that due to the excess sweat and scalp oils, that my shampoo doesn't remove ALL of the natural oils in my hair. In turn, my hair isn't puffy as most of you guys fear.
Then again, I've been growing for a little over a year now with wavy/straight hair, so our cases may be different.
But either way, I think neglecting to wash the hair due to fear of bad hair is not good. And if your hair smells, I am curious as to why you wouldn't immediately shower? Unless you've been marked by a skunk, after the shower you should be able to breath easy.
You NEED a good shampooing...NOW...
Let us know how it goes...and...
Good Luck!
i shampoo every day lately.. its the heat im sure cuz my hairs never been like this when its not so humid
is the WORST!
We are all different, No? If hair starts out clean during the day, I cannot imagine that it is very smelly at the end of the day. If so a good rince should suffice. If it does not start cleam then a good shampoot ought to start the day our right.
In my epxerience, I think shampoos is overrated. I have reduced my champoos to no more than twice a week, but with daily rinces with conditionrs.
Same for itching
If these conditions continue, do not blame it on long hair but see a dermatologist.
DRUID
If I had that problem, I'd change my shower routine to after I got home from work. That seems to be the time of day that it's most needed.
