Hey everyone. This is for those of you who have used Aussie shampoo and conditioner. I use the Mega combination, and love the smell of each one. I normally S+C my hair every 4 days, but for a couple reasons this week, I have left it about 7 days since my last session. Yesterday I started to notice a weird smell wherever I went, and finally reached the conclusion that it was my hair. If I smell hair strands up close, I can't really smell anything, but I normally smell the smell when my hair waves about in front of my face, plus my hair is always with me which would explain being able to sense the smell in different rooms.
I'm pretty sure I rinse it all out, do you reckon that could be the cause, if it is in fact my hair?
Apologies for the over use of the word 'smell'. I couldn't think of anything else.
Matt.
I notice some similar things sometimes. See, I wash my hair around, oh, every other day. By that time, it's a little oily. Whenever I get in the shower, and the steam is rising from the bathtub, I think the oil in my hair reacts to it or something, and there's a HORRIBLE odor. I swear, sometimes after using certain shampoos or conditioners, it seems like I couldn't stand to be in the shower with myself! I never really notice a bad smell when my hair is dry, but I wonder, does anyone else notice their hair "reacting" to steam from the shower? Sorry to be off-topic, but I might as well pose my question along with yours.
Yes! It happens to me also.......that is, the hotter and more steam, the more I notice.......but it doesn't have to be the only the Bathtub. Seems extra hot weather brings this condition about in my case also. This past week has been a killer where I live with temps reaching 110.
Normally, (at my present length of 13") I wash, Shampoo and Condition once a week with no oder problem at all. Baths or Showers are ALWAYS warm but NOT overly hot. No problem. But intense heat.............that changes everything in my "Hair Routine Cycle." Rather than the "usual" once a week lately, it has been daily!!!!!!!! (I can barely stand very hot weather.) Luckily, where I live on the West Coast in my area intense heat is not all that often.
Perhaps the heat brings out excessive oil and the heat somehow ferments it? Whatever it is, I don't like it either.
I use Aussie Moist shampoo and Aussie Mega conditioner, and they smell so dreamy.
My hair starts to smell after a few days after washing, but not a strong scent at all. Like you, if I pull a few strands down from my very wavy bangs and smell, I can't smell anything, but when I headband, so that my head goes down, and my head goes back up to where my hair was just a second ago, it doesn't smell particularly nice (4 days after washing btw). Smells a lot like there's a battle going on between my scalp oils and Aussie Mega. At 7 days since your last wash, I think it's definately your hair, and it's normal.
If you sweat a lot, like on your forehead and neck, the sweat could get mixed with your hair, and that's responsible for the odour.
Maybe you left too much conditioner in your hair, didn't rinse it all out? I leave a bit in, but everyone's different.
Yea i love that smell, it is sort of fruity and lovely. I did the same thing when i was sitting around and i couldent think what the smell was and then i smelt my hair and i realised it was that !!
