My head smells like bacon

[jethrien]

Slight TMI - I've got some dandruff problems. I've tried a lot of possible solutions, from most of the dandruff shampoos on the market all the way through soaking my scalp with lemon juice. This weekend, I took my mom into Lush so she cuold see what it was. She suggested getting their dandruff remedy, a solid shampoo. It looks a little like a block of rabbit food and smells kind of like campfires. Once it's on my head, though, it smells rather like, well, bacon. Bacon shampoo. It's better than the horrible chemical-ly Neutragena stuff, though...

The point is the "stop the dandruff", not "smell like bacon". I actually find it rather disconcerting, and would prefer not to smell like bacon. But smelling like bacon is better than smelling like tar, which is what a lot of the other anti-dandruff shampoos smell like.

I used to really love the smell of Head and Shoulders, actually. That's probably changed, however.

My body's acclimated to Head and Shoulders. It doesn't work anymore.

I believe that's true of most shampoos--that you should switch up the ones you use because your body gets used to them or whatever. I wonder what's the science behind that?

At the risk of totally destroying what little masculine cred I have, I use the Pantene ProV dandruff shampoo + conditioner. I don't frequently have dandruff problems but I haven't had any at all since I started using that regularly. It might only be preventative and not removing current problems though. Your mileage may vary etc and so forth.

Shampoo + conditioner + my hair = not good things, I'm afraid. I have an awful lot of hair, and it's kinda got a mind of its own, and the combo stuff just doesn't cut it. But thanks for the suggestion.
