    vinegar?

    garlic is an aphrodesiac in my house. I don't have to rid my hair of it.

    At the old forums there was someone posting about onion smell in hair, I can't remember the details though. I wish you luck!

    Maybe you could try washing with baking soda?

    I've heard vanilla is a good odor eliminator. I don't know how you'd use it though, it would be nicer than vinegar though.

    Tomato juice is supposed to be very good for getting rid of odours. I hear people use it if you get sprayed by a skunk.

    Not sure what exactly it would do to the hair but should be OK. Although if it doesn't work and the garlic and tomato combine you might smell like an Italian restaurant.

    Scope or listerine in a weak rinse through the hair should take care of it.

    If it helps, next time you need garlic in hair, go to the vitimin section and get liquid capsules of deodorized garlic, that way you can keep the stinkies away!

    Maybe a tea rinse? People suggest putting your hands in wet tea leaves to get rid of the smell of garlic from chopping, so it might help.
