For anyone with a bad hair odor.... I recently tried a home conditioning remedy for dry hair that included whipped eggs. I whipped the ENTIRE egg, not just the protein white part, and then put the mixture of egg and mayonaise on my hair with a shower cap. I then sat in the sun to heat activate the conditioning. I am not sure exactly what caused the rotten smell. I left the mixture on until my hair was completely dry and then tried to rinse/shampoo it out. NOTHING was working. I finally went to a salon expecting to pay a lot to professionally get rid of the smell. Instead I was told to go to WalMart and buy SeaBreeze facial toner. I used that, left it on about 5 minutes and it worked like a charm. The first time.
it takes a steady hand to hold a full cup

You were smelling the eggs spoiling on your head. The exact chemical is a gas called hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic in much larger amounts than rotten eggs produce.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?
Thanks for the tip about the SeaBreeze! I don't think I'd let
eggs dry on my head though. After they are dry they won't have
any more conditioning effect (just when wet). One of my exes from
way way back used to use eggs when he spiked his hair into a foot high
mohawk...they can really get hard when they dry and that makes it more
of a pain to wash out than it needs to be.
