unscented products (Hair & Scalp Odor Problem)

posted by Betsy, 04.11.2007, 20:13

OK, here's my take on things...good replies from you both on this. I think hormones play a role in this.

When I first noticed the smell I had been coloring my hair. This dries the scalp out. Plus with SLS products my hair was really getting dried out as SLS does not agree with me at all. I use the example of how my hands get cracked and dry and infected when I use SLS dishwashing liquid. I just know how my skin reacts to it PERIOD! Plus the hair dye made it worse. I have other yeast problems as I have a couple of toenails that have a fungal problem. Plus I know I get staff infections with an occasional boil. I treat this with Clindamycin gel when I get them. I think the SLS would leave my scalp in a run down, vulnerable state as I washed my hair daily. It is my opinion that all of these factors combined to let a staff-fungal infection into my scalp. The only thing that seemed to help me was the Jason Dandruff shampoo as it has both an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial element to it.

I wonder if this leads to a MRSA type of scalp condition. I agree that once you have the fungal problem it needs to be treated long term and this is why you use the shampoo (Jason dandruff) exclusively for 2 weeks (according to the bottle) and then once a week or so for maintenance. This seems to work well for me. I was needing to use it exclusively for a month or so just lately and now I'm able to once again use it alternately with another SLS free shampoo. To keep things under control.

Nax, maybe you were becoming immune to the tea tree oil for using it all the time? I don't know, everyone is different, but maybe once this is under control again you can start using the tea tree formula maybe every other time or something.

I'm afraid of losing the post so I will close this out...
