I went all natural and for six months straight after I cut my hair off I did nothing to it or put nothing in it and then I straightened it and didn't use any heat protection and now every time my hair is wet after I wash it or if I sweat it smells real burnt but when its dry it doesn't and I keep washing and washing it the smell won't come out.

Usually the day after I do my hair it smells like that but I wash it once and put my oil and it's gone...

For me, it took a long time. Leaving a deep conditioner in your hair for a while helps. You might try spritzing perfume on your hair or using a scented product before you straighten. I usually spray my blow dried hair with perfume and when I flat iron it, it smells amazing! You may also need to clean your straightener because the natural oils from your hair build up. Hope this helps! 💗

I've did all of that but when it gets wet or I wash it regardless of what shampoo or conditioner it stanks and even if I get a little sweaty.

I'm sorry! :/ I know it's frustrating. How long has it been now since you straightened it last?

Try not to spray your hair with perfume, it dries your hair out badly. I would recommend a good smelling heat protectant. :)

Maybe its the hair wash that you use doll? What kind do you use? I've gone au natural for a year and straightened without heat protectant.

Maybe try doing a clarifying wash with baking soda and water, have you tried?

No how does it make you're hair feel? Does it dry it out?

Its an alternative to shampoo, so I don't think its drying considering its used for the no-poo method. It won't strip your hair of the oils it needs unlike a regular shampoo. It could also be the water.

Yeah but nobody else in the house had stinky hair but me lol. I don't know I was going to try to do a hot oil treatment to see if that will work.

Try doing a deep conditioning treatment then, it makes no sense why your hair would smell burned. What did you use to straighten it?

Just a regular straightener and that heat protector I posted a picture of.

I would definitely do the clarifying shampoo with bs... just to get products out of your hair, I would rinse it maybe 2 times depending on how strong it is. And I would do a deep conditioning treatment for HOURS, making sure it has a scent that you like... then I would really deep condition the hair in the shower, leaving it in at least 5 minutes.

When you use coconut or caster oil do you leave it in you're hair?

To help recover your hair try a protein filler and good conditioner with natural ingredients if possible
