It`s like it`s coming out of my scalp. I use the TIGI shampoo and conditioner but I`m not sure if that`s the problem. I usually wash my hair 2 times a week. Any suggestions on how to keep my scalp/hair smelling fresh??

Although I wash my hair every two or three days I find that whenever I cook certain foods or am around people that smoke my hair picks up the smell. I found a product by Salon Selectives called "Air It Out" that is made specifically for these types of issues. It`s basically perfume for your hair. It`s a light floral fragrance and it really does the trick for me in between washes. I`m not sure how strong your hair`s odor is but this may be worth a try. It costs less than 4 dollars for a 4 oz bottle. You should be able to find it at any major drug store. Good luck, Shaun -------------
