How to Get the Stink of a Perm Out of Hair

The stink caused by permed hair can last quite awhile, sometimes for weeks. Masking the odor with fragrant hair products or perfumes doesn't always work, since the chemical smell is deeply imbedded within the hair. There is one thing that seems to work very well if the stink is bothering you that much.

Things You'll Need

• Tomato juice
• Shampoo
• Conditioner

Instructions

1. Apply the tomato juice all over hair in the shower. Doing this in the shower will help to contain the mess and stains that tomato juice can cause. Blonde or white hair can be stained by using tomato juice because of the food dyes used. In this case, you can make your own tomato juice at home with a few peeled tomatoes and a blender and then put your homemade tomato juice on hair instead.

2. Allow the tomato juice to sit on your hair for about ten to twenty minutes, according to www.hairfinder.com.

3. Wash your hair with a shampoo afterward. You may want to repeat this step to be sure all the tomato juice is removed from hair.

4. Condition hair as usual.

Tips & Warnings

• The issue of tomato juice staining blonde or white hair can also be resolved with a clarifying shampoo substituted for your everyday shampoo.
