Baggy Method & Sour Smelling Hair

[Zeal]

I have a twa and I am doing the baggy method at night. However, My hiar does not smell that great the next day.

I usually sprtz it. Put a little MT on my scalp, EO leve in on the hair, topped with EVOO.

The morning smell would be a big eww.

Any advice

Ermm...I don't get a bad smell but the smell of my conditioner when I'm in braids (I don't use any other product on my hair after washing). When wearing my hair out, I only use S Curl on my hair, and again no eew smell. I do wash my hair every 3 days or so, so maybe that helps.

I've never used MT but my guess is the eew is from it. Marine protein is one of the ingredients and while I've no clue how that smells, all I could think of was a fishy smell.

How often do you wash your hair? Is there anyway you could do the baggying with all those products the night before your wash, and then just do minimal product baggying other times? I think sometimes it's combining too many things on our hair that makes smell not so nice.

What about the plastic bag used, usually that is where smell rests...

Another thing I just thought about, if you're a sweater (meaning you sweat more than the average person) all those products and then a baggy can just lead to a rather "interesting" mix of smells.

True Maybe changing the plastic cap or washing it so you are always using a fresh one can help. I have so many plastic caps and usually wash them to reuse. After I've washed my hair, I usually reach for one of the clean ones or a brand new one, even though my hair doesn't usually get that dirty since I don't use products.

I baggy nightly, and often during the day. I do not have this problem, sorry, I have no idea what it could be from. I usually smell the product I used when I first remove the baggy, but nothing else.

Hope you find the source of your problem.

Try using African Royale Braid Spray along with your usual products when you baggy at night. This spray has a sweet smell. I do this and I don't have that "sour" smell in my hair in the morning. It works for me, even if I sweat at night. Hope this helps.

baggying always sounded like the perfect environment for mildew...could that be the smell?

I agree with this. Maybe your hair is too wet.

ROTFL! Mildew in one night? I hope not! OH DEAR!

I use a different cap.

I do kind of drench it down.

I think your hair should only be damp and it should not mildew in one night. In the morning you take off the cap and allow your hair to dry right? I think it's the MT.

I have tried without products and there is no smwll and also DAMP hair.

I get this too, even though I wash 2x a week. I think it's because I'm a heavy sweater. The smell usually dissipates after a lil while tho, so I continue to baggy under my half wigs.
