My wife has been complaining about an awful "dirty laundry" smell in her hair. The woman who cuts her hair told her that she had mildew in it - most likely from our neighbors ill-maintained pool. How can she get rid of this? Do need to scrub her scalp with a TSP mixture? HELP! ------------- Dmack214 |

Have her try a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse. (maybe 1/4 cup vinegar with 2 cups water) It kills certain kinds of bacteria and restores the scalp's acid balance, which will prevent more mildew. The vinegar smell will go away after the hair dries. HTH Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long
