Sweating on the head when you have a cap on is highly likely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The combination of sweat and oils and lack of proper aeration of the scalp may result in a stinky scalp.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Diet<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the foods we take may not click so well with the skin, especially foods with scents such as onions and garlic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strong odors may be excreted through the skin in the form of oils which can cause the scalp to stink.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Chemical Hair products<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas chemicals in shampoos are responsible for cleaner hair and scalp, they may leave residues of the chemical compounds, disrupting normal sebum levels on the scalp.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Pollution<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to environmental factors may cause your hair to absorb some of the gases and substances retained on the scalp causing it to smell.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Skin Diseases<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin diseases such as Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff cause overgrowth of the natural bacteria on the scalp which can cause a smelly scalp.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>\u00a0Getting Rid of Smelly Scalp?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>a) \u00a0 Regular washing of the scalp<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure you pay special attention to the scalp when washing your hair.
