head smells

[kmr89]

for the past year and a half, my head started to smell. i wash my hair daily, keeping the shampoo on through the whole shower. i'm pretty sure it's the oil from my scalp that stinks. what can i do?

 

[pff]

i have the same problem dude

I know this sounds stupid, but it works trust me. I use this new high-tech, concentrated biodegradable, non-tonix cleaner on everything, and yeah, just in case you didn't think this stuff could be less worthy to be used as shampoo, you buy it in the automotive section on Wal-Mart. I use it on my face and hair (in addition to shampoo). I used to kinda be a distributer of the stuff before it hit hte big markets. They only got it liceneced for an "all purpose cleaner" but it works great on any kind of human oil problem.

Give it a try, it's called SimpleGreen.

man i can't believe i'm thinking of trying this. i'm guessing this will be the safest to use: simple green hand cleaner
any more suggestions to get rid of this smell?

Talk to a dermatologist...

i also have a smell on my hair, but people don't seem to notice it (i asked some of my relatives and everybody told me everything was ok), anyway it's a smell that i like... so, who cares

i think its called green tea oil, that helps. Its a shampoo. Sebastian, paul mitchell and others make it

I'm going against most of the replies here, but I know a bit of this stuff and I have the following recommendations:

1. You shouldnt wash your hair everyday.
2. Don't leave it in for so long.
3. Give the stuff that's been recommended here a shot.

no no, for me, it makes it worse.

and i wash my hair everyday because i need to - it smells pretty bad if i don't.

also, is it tea tree oil?

 

[FrankWank]

Yes its tea tree oil, not green tea

my mistake

Check out Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Special Shampoo, as well as their Tea Tree Hair & Scalp Treatment (conditioner). Between the two, your head will be tingling and you'll have no problems in the future.. at least, that's what I've found.

How on ****ing hell are you able to smell your own head? Are you the pigeon guy´s brother or something?

when you move your head, the air won't instantly move with it. in that time, the smell will reach your nose. after that, you're more conscious about it so you pay attention to it more.

 

[diablo]

It must be really bad for you to notice it that way... have you talked to a dermatologist?

 

[Jay-X]

no diablo, it's a really common thing. everyone can smell his head, just many people don't pay attention

You are at an age where the glands in your skin are producing lots of oil, which bacteria eat and give off an odour. Have you said what it smells like?

Try a Sanex fauna shower gel and only wash your hair every other day. OK for a few days it will be worse, but what you will find is your body will ease up on the oil production.

The other big thing is diet. Try and get off too much meat, red meat especially, go for fish and chicken and eat lots of veg and fruit. Stir fry with brown rice is good.

Try it for a week or two, you will be suprised how this helps. again though for a few days your symptoms may be worse. Drink lots of water too, no sodas.

A real radical step is to cut your hair very short and sprinkle with rose water every day. Once a week grind up some oatmeal into small flakes and rub into the scalp. Then just brush out.

This works and people are around who have not wash there hair in water for years, yet it looks glossy and smells nice.
