Smelly Hair Syndrome

What is smelly hair syndrome?

In one Canadian article I found the following description: "It smells like sour milk, a wet dog, moldy hay, potatoes, an old shoe, or dirty socks."

In fact, there can be many reasons for this phenomenon:

• seborrheic dermatitis
• psoriasis
• fungal infections
• cicatricial alopecia
• hormonal disorders
• vitamin D deficiency
• infrequent washing

What shall I do? How to treat?

Calling in FBI agents to deal with slippery surfaces (based on Dr Jeff Donovan):

• F - fungi: "kill fungi"
• B - bacteria: "kill bacteria"
• I - inflammation : "reduce inflammation"

slippery coating - reduce excess sebum

In fact, it is necessary to treat the cause - the main disease, to eliminate deficiency states, and then the unpleasant smell will disappear by itself.

Interesting fact: it has been proven that hair follicles react to smell. During the experiment, the follicles really liked the smell of sandalwood - the growth phase was prolonged.

Everyone smells of sandalwood and let the top of the head smell so that you want to kiss it.
