1. Wash your hair regularly

It may seem obvious but washing your hair regularly is the key to make your hair smell amazing. If you have a tendency of sweating a lot then you may want to wash your hair more regularly than you are, try every alternate day. Oily and greasy hair tends to pick up smell from the environment and that can make your hair smell bad.

2. Lemon is the way to go

Lemon’s citrusy quality helps keep foul smell at bay. It makes your hair smell fresh and also gets rid of dandruff. You can squeeze two lemons in a mug full of water and rinse your hair with it after a wash. Make sure to let it soak for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off.

13. Regularly clean your hair brush and combs

Lastly, make sure you clean your hair brush and combs on a regular basis. As there is product buildup on your scalp, your hair brush and combs also attract some of it. Even if your hair is clean, the dirt from your comb can make your hair smell bad. Make it a point to clean them every 2 weeks or more.
