Rid Cigar Smell in hair? HELP!

[z_crase]

So days after smoking I still smell the aroma of cigar. Simply shampooing it doesn't help. What can I do?

[K Baz]

Personally I wear a hat when I smoke. Limits the problem but doesn't solve it.

I think having short hair also helps plus I smoke in pretty well ventilated areas.

Shave that head!

You should try a shorter hair style as longer hair tends to absorb the smell.

Never had that problem. Got a short hair cut though. Try dropping some lemon/lime juice in your conditioner and leave it in. Couldn't hurt.

1) Wear a hat if possible (helps a lot)
2) Get a better shampoo. You can even try a shampoo that has some scent, which will at least mask the odor if any remains.

When I smoke during the day, I'll usually put on a bit of scented face lotion or after shave once I finish washing my face--the added scent will mask any smokey odors that may still linger (sometimes smoke DOES seem to hang on forever, it depends a lot on the cigar actually).

First its the guy that can't get the smell off his hands then its the breath and now this,,maybe quitting is the answer...

Careful with the lemon juice, unless you want your hair lightened. May work for your hands, but will bleach your hair if not washed out completely.
Definately change shampoos, and do the rinse and repeat. I've never had any lingering scent after washing, and I have long hair.

What started out as the manly art of cigar smoking is suddenly turning into Metrosexual Cigar Smoking,,,,what is next, Cigar Cozies?

I never have had this problem, or I never noticed. I don't go around smelling my own hair.

I make a point of projecting my delicious cigar smoke smell to others...nothing like wearing the clothes you smoked in the night before out on the town and watching the faces of the PC police turn up in disgust.

Does anyone know how I could get more Cigar smell in my hair, maybe add some ash to my shampoo?

You may have just given me an idea of a whole new product line.

I just have one question fellas....how many of you have hair long enough to even reach your nose?

I am suprised though at how much more lingering scent my hair holds, than say my clothes do. And with the humidity and rain in South FL right now, it brings it out more. So as much as I really don't think others can smell my hair, having it near my own nose throughout the day, does become a bit potent. Since we've had rain a lot down here lately, we couldn't enojoy our cigars outdoors.

Also, if the after-scent of even the finest finished cigar, is so pleasant, then why do we toss old ash tray remnants? Why not save them in a big jar to enjoy, or put them in our humidors to add to the aroma?

It would effect the flavor of the cigars that were resting in there I dont think you would want to do that
