Yeah, it's okay now,  but I surely freaked out and put lotion, hair spray, perfume, etc. in it when it was wet! I'm glad it's a semi-normal thing! LOL

nah...the smell will usually go away after a good shampoo or two. I dont know what that smell actually comes from but Ive certainly smelled it on ALOT of hair. Some worse than others.

Maybe the recommendation for the bleach bath posted might help get rid of the smell.  Or fabreeze?

LOL Poose....thats what I call the 'BIG WET DOG" smell. Its a 'musty' sort of smell and reminds me very much what a wet dog smells like.
 
Ive smelled this on many brands of human hair and goes away with a wash or two. It must be some chemical or residual smell left over from processing/santizing it goes through.

I just bought some human hair, and, while the quality seems nice, I just washed it a little on top and then conditioned the ends, and its still wet but it smells a little moldy.
Yes, like the stuff that grows on wet socks, er, makes them smell moldy...
I did notice a slight smell when I got the hair but thought it would wash out, maybe it's not mold? Maybe its a chemical smell (that just happens to smell like mold) But the hair, was very very nice when I got it, it looked great before I washed it (its still drying), so IDK?
Any thoughts?
