Hi guys,
I'm a nail person, not a hair person and I really need the help / advice of a hair person today :-(
I had waist length never-dyed hair, all one length. It was in super condition as I really look after it. Decided to get it cut up to bra strap length with a bit of shape (I know I'll be using the wrong words, don't laugh! ;-)) and no colour by my Mum's hair dresser who is great and really checks with you every step of the way. She did exactly what I wanted with the cut and was going to put some waves in it when styled as I am naturally wavy. She got this sort of crimpy thing out and then one of the other girls said oh Mrs so-and-so is ready for her something or other to be done, I'll take over this if you go and see to her so the other girl did the crimpy bit.
For starters, it wasn't done very well (it had a kind of shelf in it that looked like my fringe just carried on right around my head because of where the curl went) and it dropped within an hour to look like Hermione Granger hair but I'm not so bothered about that, what I'm bothered about is that my hair now absolutely STINKS. I noticed the smell in the salon but thought it was someone else's chemical processing but when I left I realised it was ME! It smells like rotten eggs / VEET hair remover cream / Sulphur and I could just cry. It smells like it's had perming solution on it!
I've double shampooed it with the rather strong smelling Aussie shampoo (chosen specifically for it's strong artificial smell as I figured if that didn't get rid of it nothing would!) and given it a darned good condition but it still stinks. I don't know what to do to get this smell out of my hair as it's making me really self-conscious!
I'd really appreciate any help you could give me as I will feel so silly going back to her today and saying "Hi... could you tell me what your assistant did to my hair because it now smells of eggies!"
Sorry for the rant, it probably sounds really petty but I'm sure one of you will be able to help me!
