unscented products (Hair & Scalp Odor Problem)

posted by SBayGirl, 28.01.2008, 15:44

So I have been using the unscented dandruff shampoo, which has helped to an extent, but now my problem is that when my hair is damp, the hair shampoo has a stronger scent when wet until my hair dries. The "unscented" shampoo has a slight scent which becomes stronger on me when my hair is wet. Once it dries, I'm OK. I have been off the NuvaRing for a while now, and the effects are going away slowly. My weird smell has been fading, so I'm very sure that it's hormone-related. My hair has started growing in normally now--I used to have new hair growth stick out from my head so that I had to smooth the tufts down. On the NuvaRing, my hair didn't seem to grow much. It was thick, but didn't really grow.

Then I watched a Friends episode in which the character Phoebe says that 90% of a woman's hormones are emitted from the top of her head. That's why women are shorter, so that a man falls in love with a woman as he hugs her by sniffing her hair. Well, even if it's true or not true, that got me thinking. I searched on the Internet and found this.

I was always the alpha-female in that my roommates cycles were affected by my mine. I wonder if we are all alpha-females, and our hormones are being disrupted by our environments in some way. In any case, I have started taking showers at night to make sure that my hair is dry by the time I go to work. I also noticed that some soaps or laundry fabric softeners leave an unpleasant smell. Costco's brand of Kirkland fabric softener is horrible. So is Jergen's hand soap.

I still think it has something to do with pheromones, hormones, and fragrance. I am not sure about the other factors like SLS. The dandruff shampoo didn't have SLS, and I still started smelling faintly. Not as bad as when I was still using the NuvaRing, though, thank God. I think it has to do with the way my body reacts to particular smells. It all seems to go right back to hormones as a cause.
