Silly title but an actual issue I`ve started experiencing. I guess, first, HI EVERYONE! I`m Desiree and I`m new here. First time poster, long time lurker with not even an avatar yet. Sad.
So I have a pretty consistent hair routine. I like to shampoo and condition my hair about three times a week. I usually air dry my hair unless I`m in a rush and it is freezing out. I do ACV rinses and today I actually did a BS clarify and ACV rinse for good measure. So here is my issue: The last week I have noticed a FUNK coming from my wet hair. Right after I wash it smells like a wet dog who just got a perm who is running with a dirty dish towel. It smells strange. I thought MAYBE it was the water so I did a test of mixing(separately) my shampoo with the shower water in a bowl and then the conditioner. No funk. Okay. I thought maybe it was my towels, so I washed them and got any funk out of them. Nope. My hair still smells funny when wet and I`m a tad distressed about it because I`ve never had this happen before. I will mention that I had a thought maybe it was due to something internal like hormones as I do have PCOS and battle with bouts of hormonal madness from time to time despite being on the dreaded pill. So I come to everyone here for some help. Help, help, help! Have you ever experienced something similar? Any suggestions? General thoughts about my smelly wet hair? (eww). I came across this article:

which suggests even a fungal infection? I have a cat as well that I share living space with but have for about ten years and have never had anything like this happen so I`m not sure it is anything like that. Maybe? Oh my. So...help please. Thank you!!!:confused:
