How Do you get rid of that smokey smell?

[Ayjay]

I did a quick search and didn't see and answer so....

I've been outside trying to help my husband do some yard work and some of that was burning dried wood and vines in the fire basket. So now my hair smells pretty smokey (even though I had to up and in a bun) I just washed my hair yesterday and its way too soon to wash it again. Does anyone have an good ways to get a smokey smell out of their hair without washing?

Any help would be awesome. :)

If try perfume sprayed on your hair.

I tried that. Its a little better. Now it smells like Lush American Cream and smoke. *laugh*

Mmmhm I don't know, but I would wash and do a lemon rinse after, VERY diluted. Lemon seems to get rid of smells.

I'd just wash really even though you don't want to. That smell is probably not going anywhere. For some reason wood fire smoke really sticks on to people bad and doesn't seem to let up.

The only way to get obnoxious smells out of the hair is to simply wash it.

A WO wash followed by a vinegar rinse (rinsed out) will do the trick.

Or...leave it down and let it air out...you will be the only person who can smell it after a day or so.

Next time, wear a Buff, a pony scrub (http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrub-Hats/Scrub-Hats-for-Women/Pony-Collection/) or something that covers your hair completely.

It seems a bit better now that its morning. I'm glad its wood smoke and not something else. Thanks for the suggestions though.
