Dealing With A Smelly Scalp or Odor is more common than most people know. To understand why this happens you need to know that the hair follicle goes down into the scalp skin where it acts like a pocket catching dirt, residue from shampoos (that make it stickier)as well sebum or oils that are produced by the scalp.

To Eliminate this issues it is very important to understand that the common shampoos and even clarifying shampoos on the market actually cause the problem more than they help it. The sebum scalp oils can actually cover the hair follicle opening and act as a barrier to deep cleanse the hair follicle. This barrier can become hard like a jolly rancher candy. It takes a very special blend to remove the caked opening and allow the bacteria and fungus that cause the odor to be released and washed away or eliminated.
What Causes Sour Stinky Smells In The Hair Or On the ScalpThe answer is typically a mixture of sebum, cholesterol, yeast, fungus, bacteria and also keratin. This is also what creates the crusty, crystallized mixture that you often see in beads or balls on the scalp. It can also create a waxy, white buildup that can be soft and in large chunks or it be hardened. Opening the follicle and helping to purge fungus, bacteria, yeast and similar is huge for getting rid of bad smell that can often happen after washing your hair or getting it wet. Often times this will look like wet dandruff. You can remove this with an Exfoliating Scalp Scrub and also the Purifying Shampoo. The lotion will penetrate deep to help give you lasting results. Great for women or men that are experiencing the issues including mold and malassezia.
