How to get rid of burnt hair smell
Baking soda.
I never would’ve thought to put baking soda on my hair.
It just would never occur to me to use the substance that I use to remove bad fridge odors and I add to all my baked goods.
I created a paste with a little water then applied to damp my hair before shampooing.
After one use, I noticed that the odor was a little better. So this step definitely helped get rid of the burnt hair smell.
After the second use, the odor was almost completely gone. I was shocked.
I plan to do this about once a month or so to get a good deep clean.
Whenever I feel like my hair has a product build-up, I do a white vinegar rinse on my scalp. Talk about an awesome scalp reboot!
Turned the heat down.
My hair is naturally stick straight and doesn’t hold curl very well.

When styling, I use the hottest setting because I’ve learned that is how my hair best styles.
In exchange, I’ve earned a delightful burnt odor. I use this curling wand (which I love) usually at 450º. While trying all different hacks, I also turned my heat down to 350º which also seems to have made a big difference in the smell.
Switched up my hair products.
I rotate between hair products and brands all the time.
I’m constantly testing out new things to see what works for y’all, so I can give you some solid feedback.
Many of you suggested different hair products, but a few I noticed were repeated a ton, so I ran out to Ulta and picked them up.
I linked all of the new products I’m currently using below because this hair cocktail seems to have made a big difference and has been a fix to the burnt hair smell.
