unscented products (Hair & Scalp Odor Problem)

posted by SBayGirl, 25.09.2007, 11:12

Hi, I am new to the board. Been suffering from scalp odor for a month, or at least for a month it's gotten so bad, people are whispering to each other about the odor. If I smelled previously, it wasn't so bad as now.

I have been experimenting with different shampoos. Each one gives me a different odor. It makes me think that there's something about the fragrance. Maybe we find most fragrances toxic and our bodies try to excrete it through our oils.

I came upon this idea after using Neutrogena T/Sal. It has salicylic acid to control scalp oil, but it's also unscented. There was virtually no smell, but then I noticed the other bad smell from the laundry fabric softener. So I did laundry with no fabric softener--liquid or dryer sheet. Much better, but then I noticed a funky scent at the back of my head. It's where I washed with soap to clean my neck. So today I'm trying a non-scented soap.

If this works, maybe we all have fragrance intolerance and fragrance-free products are our solution. I am hoping this is my solution. Maybe it could be yours, too.
