So I read these two smelly scalp threads lol and its funny because I just noticed I too have a scent when I rub my fingers on my scalp if I skip a day or so of co washing, and I think I got it. Before when I washed my hair less frequently, it never smelled. It would smell faintly of whatever conditioner I had used. I really think, like someone with an oily face or something, since I started washing my hair more frequently (like washing your face often) it then is producing more oil and thus giving that scent off. I moisturize so I don't know why it is kicking its sebum glands into high gear, but when I used to have oily skin, even when I used moisturizer, things would still get crazy. I managed to beat my oily skin by just rinsing it with water a few times a day except for when I wear make-up (I use a cleanser to get it off) so that now it knows how much it needs to produce which my skin happily sucks up. I can imagine when I had a once a week hair washing schedule (for a long time too, I don't think I've even been co washing daily for a year yet) my sebum glands well knew already how much needed to produce and my scalp gladly absorbed every drop, not to mention! My scalp was probably kinda dry then too and so it really had use for every bit of sebum. Now a days my scalp is always getting wet and air drying so maybe it doesn't really need extra sebum and it is just sitting on top my scalp not doing anything? I wonder what is the explanation, but that kinda makes sense anyway.
