I used a hair mask this morning and the smell is still in my hair?

Question

i left it on for 20 minutes, washed it out and then shampooed my hair really well. this was in the monring. i just had a bath a few minutes ago (i did not wash my hair but it got wet). my hair still smells like it has the hair mask on and it smells awful, like spoiled salad dressing & is making me about to vomit. what should i do?

Answer 1

Ok, this is going to sound like putting one smelly thing on top of another smelly thing, but I assure you, it really does remove odors.  Wait until your hair is dry, then completely saturate it, down to your scalp, with a mixture of 1/3 white or cider vinegar, and 2/3 water.  Wrap your head in a towel, you can even put a plastic bag over it if you don't like that smell, and leave it on for like 15 minutes.  Then wash your hair with shampoo and condition.  Be very thorough with the shampoo, and make sure you're using warm water, not lukewarm or cool.  Then when you condition, use cool water to rinse.  Once your hair is dry (whether you dry it, or let it air dry) the vinegar smell and the other nasty smell should be gone.  Good luck! Oh, and if you don't have vinegar, you can also use lemon juice.  

Answer 2

try washing it again really really good, like in the scalp.

never use that hair mask again.

if your going out i suggest you spray some perfume on your hair, not too much though, because you don't want your hair to look oily.

:) good luck
