How To Really Get The Burnt Smell From Heat Styling Out Of Your Hair

Posted by Tandra Barner on Sunday, May 12, 2024

The only way to avoid burning your hair is by completely eliminating the use of hot tools. Now that we've all had a good laugh, let's talk about how to rid the hair of that burnt odor. One How To suggests applying a heat protector product to the hair prior to drying it and to minimize use of heat when styling.

If you have burned your hair and the smell lingers after washing it, try to add some scented hair oils to your shampoo. You can also attempt to neutralize the odor with a natural oil, like almond or coconut. One How To recommends that, after washing your hair, comb the oil through your mane and leave it for 15 minutes, then re-wash the hair. The oils can help with the scent and with nourishing damaged locks. Aloe vera is another remedy you can try, mixing it with olive oil and letting it sit on the hair for 20 minutes 

If all else fails, you can try baking soda, which is a great odor absorber and chances are you already have some in your freezer. Add a small spoonful to your shampoo bottle, shake, and wash as usual.
