Smelly hair?

Hi h,
I use my ghd's every day and my hair smells ok! Mostly it just smells like whatever product I'm using at the time, at the mo it's a vo5 de-frizz spray but I quite like wella's falt iron spray too.

Thanks

thanks for replying, I have spent loads on protecting spritzes etc. I will give your 2 a try then if that doesn't work I'll go back to my cheap £20 from superdrug ones..blimmin expensive ghds they were.I hope it works thanks again

Smelly hair!!

i have the same problem! i though it was just me and it really embarasses me because i can smell my hair quite strongly and i think it picks up alot of smells as well like cooking smells but i think it definitely has something to do with ghd!

Smelly hair solution

Hello

I know exactly what you are referring to regarding the funky, negative hair smell.

Try Tersaseptic, an antibacterial shampoo made exactly for oily scalps. It has no odor and is pretty cheap. I use it and it has really helped my hair smell.

I wonder why we get this?

Oh I thought I was the only one...thank you! And yes my hair picks up smells really easily too.if I cook onions, or go swimming, or into a smokey pub. Its only been really bad with the ghds so I think I'm going to give them up. My husband says he doesn't smell it ...but I do.I guess our hair doesn't suit the heat? shame isn ... oh well £80 down the drain dammit.
maybe i'll sell them on e-bay seems such a waste otherwise.

Smelly hair

onions are the worst smells in my hair and thats why i avoid the kitchen at all costs when somethings being cooked.there is a distinctive smell from when i have washed my hair and straighten it-its not pleasant at all.i used my cousins ghd once and there was no smell with her ghd so i think it could actually be my straightener as well because its 3 years old now

Do you use head and shoulders shaz

I've just tried a different conditioner...no smell..I wonder if its head and shoulders?? do you use it?

Smelly hair

i used to use head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner mumzie but i have switched to herbal essences but i dont think its the shampoo but the actual straightener even though my sister doesnt have no problem with it(she has fine silky hair) and my hair is very bushy and thick and it has been 3 years of continous straightening so maybe my hair is weakening?

I'm going to the hairdresses tomorro

I am going to take my GHds maybe she can try them to see of they are faulty or something? I'll let u know
H

Thanks

thanks much appreciated because i just want to know if it is the actual straighteners and ask ur hairdresser for a remedy as well!

Typical..i forgot them

Hi shaz0
due to me being stooopid i forgot to take my ghds, but she has never heard of that problem & they use ghds all the time. Very busy posh salon.I'm gunna write to GHD & ask.I got them from www.beautysleuth.maybe they will send me a different pair...she has given (sold )me some lavender scented gloop to use after drying my hair £19!!! and we used it and it doesn't smell ukky...I'll try it in the morning....fingers crossed!
H

Told to get refund/repair

hi I e-mailed beautysleauth today & they think my ghds have a fault...eek...ok so back to my cra%%y ones and now i have to pay for sending them back recorded delivery. I have decided to ask for a refund as my confidence is knocked also I have heard some babylis ones are just as good.
H

my ghd's are 3 years old so i have no warranty on them so i cant return them! but i think its more of my hair because it picks up every smell i go past-cigarettes are the worst.i had a haircut in tony and guy and it cost me £12 for a little bottle of hair spritz which did make my hair smell nice but products make my hair greasy and smelly as well! oh well we'l see how the babyliss ones work out for u then

Are we sisters?

That is SO wierd me too I paid £19 (ulp) for some lavender scented gloop, and it worked (vith my old straightners) but now I look like Olive from On the busses! Smoking smells..yep I even pass on a pub lunch cos my hair reeks all afternoon and I don't even sit near smokers.
I think I might go bac to having a permed curly crash-helmet again , so much less trouble!)
H

Long lost sisters

my sister suggested i wash my hair with more shampoo and conditioner when i shower and not a pea sized amount! well this is probably the effects of straightening because it does say it damages your hair.im just going to keep on covering up the smells with perfumes! i dont use any products on my hair because of the greasyness so the least i can do is put perfume on it!
