Why does my hair/scalp smell really bad?

I’ve washed my hair everyday, every other day but yet it is still there.

I’ve tried different shampoo’s from Head n Shoulders to Pantene and even Herbal one’s (using Johnsons baby now but no effect as of yet) and I don’t want to use a powerful shampoo which, will destroy my hair.

I’ve also tried lemon juice, salt (I know) and many other natural remedies.

I’ve been to the doctor and he said he couldn’t smell anything. I don’t know what it smells like either. The people sitting close to me tend to smell it but I’m a bit embarrassed to ask my friends to describe the smell to me.

I would prefer a natural remedy if possible.

Thanks

Answer #2

It’s likely the cause of the odour is from a fungus that can develop when your hair doesn’t dry quickly enough, or the scalp is naturally too oily. The best way to combat this is with an antimicrobial or antibacterial shampoo. As already mentioned, Tea Tree Oil shampoo can probably help quite a bit.

Answer #3

Perhaps you are wearing a hat that is harbouring smells. . During these colder months of the year, many people wear warm woolen hats (e.g. “Beanies”) for prolonged periods without washing them anywhere near as often as they would wash their hair. . Washing your hair tends to stimulate secretion of oils, and these can accumulate in woolen hats where they effectively go rancid and transfer the smell back to your scalp & hair. . People who wash their hair daily, sometimes need to wash their hats nearly as often as well in order to prevent them retaining unpleasant smells. .

Or it is because the type of the odor of your body. Your hair makes it worse when you sweat.

Answer #5

Nope, the Doc said he couldn’t see any sign of fungus.

Answer #6

I don’t sweat so much and I wash a day before I go out.

I’ll definitely try it since, someone above has also recommended the same product.
