Let's just explore this please?

I have been thinking for the last few hours what it means that I can more intensely smell the overtones of scent in my hair from this shampoo and conditioner I'm using. Is my sense of smell too precise? The scent changes from week-to-week, almost as though the oils in my head and scalp are also affected by hormones. That's disturbing, can I not find a simple shampoo and conditioner that will not smell so strongly on my head?

Am I the only person in the world having this problem? Slight hormonal variations that can be noticed in the oils of your head and scalp and the scent that comes from washed hair at different times during a female monthly cycle. Why do I care? I care because I am really offended when I catch whiffs of my hair, which is often, and it smells way too strong. Do I have a faulty sense of smell that is off somehow? Do I have a faulty sense of whether it smells bad or good, just annoying?

Let me explain a bit about what's going on. I'm fighting with some contact dermatitis and I have been exploring the various types of products to try and working to eliminate the problem item in the shower routine. I eliminated the scented shampoo first, since it was empty anyhow. I had some baby shampoo to use, so I started on that. It was baby shampoo first followed by Dove Green Tea and Cucumber Conditioner. It just smells . . . awful or something. The wind will catch me or my hair and I smell it all over again.

Can I find a reasonably priced shampoo and conditioner that will not make my head smell funny like some unnatural thing? I don't want to smell like I took a bath on the beach, and I don't want to smell like raw fruit. Can't I have something not too exotic like just a plain clean scent with nothing extra?

I want to be clean, I want my hair to be clean, but I do not want to have this heavy scent over me from all these products.

I'm down to the one sample bottle of shaving gel also right now. Talk about a stinky product to use. The scent is "Raspberry Rain". Like I know what that is supposed to smell like or something. At least the soap smell wasn't too strong so it was easier to tolerate. That scent of shave gel was appalling. I could get nauseous just describing it, it was so awful. Add to it and you're in a steamy shower, warm water, warm skin = even more scented.

What the hell is raspberry rain supposed to smell like anyway? Who thinks up this bullshit? Then what idiot buys it? I didn't buy that shit, I bought plain shave gel and that was a free bonus.

Anyhow, how do I resolve the problem of stinky shampoo and conditioner, when I simply want to be free to enjoy my sense of smell for non-offensive things. I need something that cleans and conditions, but doesn't leave a lot of odor behind. Cucumber and Green Tea just don't combine well in shampoo and conditioner to leave me with nice smelling hair. Maybe my hair is defective and the oily follicles are defected and are letting this offense smell go from my head of hair.

I am the Detective on the Case!
