Smoke in my hair

“No not smoke in my eyes...in my hair!!!
Any secrets to getting the smell out? Ever since this weekend it still smells like smoke. YES...before anyone says wash it...I've washed it numerous times!!!

Just thought there might be some home remidies out there.”

“smoke from a campfire? enjoy it while it lasts! LOL...I love that camper girl smell that lingers for days after a trip...makes the memories and good feelings last longer...”

“....lingers for days???

Bathing can be effective.

Or is it honky tonk smoke?”

“Shave your head and bash the Pope.”

“Anyone from TT would probably say 'Gee, your hair smells terrific!'”

“Now, if we're talkin' smoked pit hair......hmmmmm, I dunno”

“Rub a mixture of vinegar and baking soda into your hair. This mixture is effective for clothes in a washing machine (many other threads discussing it) so should work for your hair, too.”

“Shampoo with Pine Sol.”

“A girl with smoky hair?

SEXY!!!!!!!!”

“enjoy it :) I can never get enough of that smell...


on occasion I have to crawl into the gear room and snuggle with all the gear to get a wiff.”

“i heard that beer is good for that.
no, really. try beer.”

“SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES
The Platters

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Ah... I of course replied
Something here inside
Cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Ah... When your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed and then I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love had flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"When a lonely flame dies,
smoke gets in your eyes."
Smoke gets in your eyes”

“Sing it, brother!”

“i have smoke in my hair once in a while! really!”

“How about that cool smoky voice, bebbie?”

“oooo gem has a crush on stovie :)

“CMB seemed excited taht you'd signed on my trip LOL and all he would talk about was ledderhosen. WHATS up with that huh? ROFLMBO”

“Dude's got leather on his mind?”

“dude, marko, CMB should of had his fill of leather for a while ;)”

“"Smoke, it is all smoke
in the throat of eternity. . . .
For centuries, the air was full of witches
Whistling up chimneys
on their spiky brooms
cackling or singing more sweetly than Circe,
as they flew over rooftops
blessing & cursing their
kind.

We banished & burned them
making them smoke in the throat of god;
we declared ourselves
"enlightened."
"The dark age of horrors is past,"
said my mother to me in 1952,
seven years after our people went up in smoke,
leaving a few teeth, a pile of bones.

The smoke curls and beckons.
It is blue & lavender
& green as the undersea world.
It will take us, too.

O let us not go sheepishly
clinging to our nakedness.
But let us go like witches sucked heavenward
by the Goddess' powerful breath
& whistling, whistling, whistling
on our beautiful brooms"

Erica Jong.”

““CMB & Gemini on a trip? Now THAT is gonna be entertaining! LOL
Which trip is it?"


NOpe, no trip with the two of them :)

I'm talking about the gurlz only trip :)

Mike aint allowed.”

“Oh, THAT one. We are gonna have so much fun!”

“my friend uses "smells-be-gone" odor neutralizer for her clothing, although I don't know how safe it would be to apply to your hair....

One of the brands of shampoos (I think it's Salon Selectives?) has a spray that you can spray in your hair to neutralize odors as well, but I'm not sure if they still have it on the market. I haven't been able to find it for a while. The only problem with that is that you will smell like the spray-- but if you wash your hair afterwards, it gets the smokey smell out.”

“

This wouldn't be a problem if y'all used decent shampoo. Take it from an almost Metro, expensive shampoo is actually worth it's price.

“I knew I could count on you for the answer!!! Maple...I like your suggestion best..the hubby is gone for a few days so I might have to sample the remedy as well ;-)”

“I have a feeling GGGS is going to go to the Gurlx only trip wether or not he's invited LMAO”

“I remember an episode of the partridge family where they used tomatoe juice to remove skunk odor from the skunk that made it's way into the bus. ymmv.... ;)”

“Vinegar and baking soda would get the smell out but leave your hair in horrible condition. The smell may not be in your hair, but actually stuck in your sinuses. Every time I'm around smokers I'll have the smell stuck in my nose and sinuses for days. Be happy your'e smelling campfire and not something worse.”

“That's a good point-- try blowing your nose! :-)

I wonder if Prell would do the trick? It seems to get all of the gunk out of my hair.. :-)”

“While we are on the subject...is it true that rhododendran wood is poisonous when burned? I heard that from a very credible source but just wanted to follow up on the info I received.”

“dunno crazygurl. However I have heard from a very credible source that the best wood for burning are those poison ivy vines :)”

“Spirit-- great way to get blisters inside your lungs... :-) don't forget.. you can eat poison ivy as a salad as well with poison sumac...”

“No No NO!
The smoke from poison ivy will coat your skin with the 'poison' part of the plant. It's like you crushed up the plants and bathed in them. Happened to my dad, he had to go under Doctor's care the iching was so bad and breaking out.”

“Oh yeah pink...I've heard that too...is great w/ red wine vinegar”

“Rhododendron and dogwood can both make you sick if burned, and possibly poisoned if used for toasting marshmallows or anything else for that matter. Not "kill you" poisoned, but "wish you were dead" poisoned.”

“someone had left a lot of Rhododendran branches in the camp...and it burned GREAT...it was later I found out it was a no no!! We were as green as the wood we were trying to burn!!!”

“CMB prolly remembered way back then when I was how old? 39 I think... Anyway...
what did he say again?

oh yeah, now I remember, he said" Gemini, you don't look one day older then 41!!"

He was serious too and thought he said something nice to me. :(”

“LMAO!!!!”

“I get smoke in my hair at work all the time. I don't notice it until I go to the gym and start sweating, then it's just gross.”

“I once tried to burn kudzu off a slope. It worked great. Unfortunately, it also burned off the poison ivy that I did not realize was in the kudzu. Man, did I ever have two weeks in HELL after that!”

“Is that when you became a Ghoul?”

“Ever since this weekend it still smells like smoke.

You were not specific about what you were doing this weekend or what was smoking.

Weekend at the drag strip - rubber smoke -yecht.
Weekend at the crematorium - gross !!
Weekend at a rock concert - why do you want to get rid of the smell?”

“Hot Monkey Love with a smoker????”

“Don't forget... those 3 leaves of poison ivy make for nice TP when you've really gotta go....

It also makes for a great substitute for moleskin when you are on the run...

















LOL!!!!

I was only joking....

BTW-- did you hear about the idiot guy who tried to prove that a plant WASN'T poison ivy by rubbing it all over his face? His eyes swelled shut with the blisters.”

“The really big leaves can be rolled into cigars for people you do not like.”

“oh.. great idea... I know of a few people who could benefit from a big Poison Ivy doobie...”

“I have yet to develop an allergic response to this stuff.”
