What Causes Foul Odor In The Hair?
My 11 year old daughters hair smells like a perm. She’s never had any chemical treatments to it. It smell horrible after we wash it and somewhat even after it dries. It’s been going on for 3 weeks. We’ve tried different shampoos, anti-dandruff shampoo, tomato juice,and recently a clarifying shampoo. Please help.
