Hi Hi: I would like to know what others think of this long hair issue. I was on a date a short time ago, and he commented how nice my hair smelled. (Never mind how he was close enough to smell it. That’s another story). However, he did smell my hair and told me how nice it was. I thanked him for the nice complement. He went on to tell me that when ever he dated a woman in the past that smoked. Her hair always smelled like cigarettes. I myself have never smoked, and I do not smoke today. I do have girlfriends that do. Also interestingly enough I have never dated a man that smoked either. I also have never been close enough to any of my girlfriends to smell there hair. So my question is to everyone. Do you really smell cigarette smoke in hair? Especially long hair. I will admit, with out meaning to be disrespectful to any one. I have been on elevators with women that do smoke and also wear a tad too much perfume. The combination of the two, cigarette smoke and perfume in my opinion do not mix very well at all. Truth be told. They smell pretty bad together. What do you think? Susan ------------- Susan |

Absolutely. Back in my partying days, when more people smoked, I used to come home with my hair smelling like an ashtray. -------------

Oh yes, it does. It sticks to hair like it sticks to fabric almost. I would imagine even more for people with long hair because there is so much to soak up the smell, so to speak. ~A ------------- Hair is BSL+ as of 9/15/05 |

I date a smoker. But I come home smelling more like his cologne than his cigarettes. Maybe I'm just desensitized to the smell of his cigarette smoke. ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

I don't know if smokers' hair smells like cigarettes...maybe. My boyfriend smokes and I never noticed it in his not-long hair. It does smell strongly on his breath for a few minutes after he's had a cigarette though. However, if you're in a smoky place like a bar, as said above, oh yeah that hair can stink! When I used to go out at night I had to wash my hair as soon as I got home! ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

My dad smokes a lot... but he only smoked outside the house or in the garage. I used to smell it in my car every morning I drove to work. I was that one "weird" person that drove with my windows down, freezing in the cold or getting wet from the rain. LoL. ------------- http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 |

Hi Susan, thank you very much. You have a gorgeous hair too. The color is pretty and looks so shiny. I guess we all have this board to thank, along with our genes hehe.  ------------- http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 - http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1016946 |

I find that the smell of cigarettes usually just sticks to my clothing if I'm at a smoky bar. However, if I'm in close contact with someone smoking, then my hair picks it up; after one particular date with a chain smoker, it took days for me to get the smell out. I didn't call him back, but there were other factors at play, of course. I myself have never smoked; just don't see the point of it. ------------- Monica: Isn't there any way that you could look at this as flattering? I mean, she's doing this to be more like you. Rachel: Well, then, couldn't she have just copied my haircut? |

I don't smoke and never have done, neither does my bf, but if we spend the evening with friends who do you can really smell it on our clothes and hair after. No offence to any smokers out there, obviously, but yuk. ------------- |

Most definitely, being in a smoky place gets the funky stink in the clothes and hair. One of my friends says that she avoids the worst effects by waiting to wash her hair (when its oily and needs washing) until after going to smoky places -- this seems to work well for her. ------------- |
