Everyone wants fresh-smelling hair.
The first thing you want to do is reassess your washing routine.
However, a general rule of thumb is to wash your hair every two to three days.
“There is no blanket recommendation.
If you have an oily scalp, then daily washing is needed,” dermatologist Dr. Carolyn Goh toldWebMD.
“Some people with dry hair or curly hair can wash much less frequently without problems.”
Hair perfume is specially made to complement hair.
Some formulations contain shining and conditioning agents, so it helps soften hair while also smelling great.
Hair perfume is less concentrated than regular perfume, so it’s not as strong smelling.
This results in another benefit of using hair perfume.
Since it’s less concentrated, it’s more affordable than regular perfume.
Another option to keep hair smelling fresh is to use scented hair oil.
For an added benefit, add some essential oils to the mix to induce calm and lessen stress.
“Your hairbrush collects more than just trapped hair,” certified trichologist William Gaunitz toldReader’s Digest.
Washing them once a week is sufficient.
Simply remove the hair stuck in the bristles and then soak the brush in warm soapy water.
Scrub in between bristles and let air dry.
For an added boost, spray some hair perfume on a clean brush.
Hair follicles absorb the pollution from the surrounding environment.
Smoke and other pollutants adhere themselves to the sebum, or oil, naturally found in hair.
It’s not only smoke that can make hair smell bad.
Dust mites live off of dead skin cells and will gravitate toward dirty pillowcases.
If you have a dust mite allergy, you may experience an intense itch on the scalp.
The weather, hormones, and lifestyle changes like diet can all affect scalp odor.
Hyperhidrosis is another possibility, and it triggers when you sweat excessively and the seat gets mixed with bacteria.
Psoriasis is another condition that can cause a bad odor.
With proper treatment, these conditions can improve, and you will eventually get back your sweet-smelling hair.
