Silly question about hair and W/D

I know this is going to be a silly question but here goes. It seems since I have stopped taking the norco's (17 days, yea!) my hair smells, well just dirty. It will smell an hour after I wash the he!! out of it. I am a brunette BTW, I know we produce more oils or what not but this is ridiculous. It STINKS!!! And I can't stand it! Anyone else had this problem or am I just nuts?

It the remainder of the drugs coming out of your body.. hair follicles are pores also.. they hold on to stuff alot longer due to build up from the drugs hair product oil conditioner...etc. I would get started on NIoxin.. use it for a month, will clean your scalp hard core.. including drugs.. I give it to my clients who have sugery or chemo..  perfect question for the hairdresser

the correct spelling is NIOXIN. a local salon or beauty supply should have it.. you only need the cleanser and the scalp therapy howerer the nutrient treatment would be helpful while you are preggo... keep you from losing hair afterwards..

Hey....you are doing it...17 days is awesome!  I know when i was detoxing, I could smell a weird...almost alcohol smell coming out of my pores...my husband noticed it also....I think fladdict is right!  It probably is the toxins from the hydro's!  How's the pregnancy coming along...how many weeks now?  I'm so proud of you and you should be proud of yourself!!!! What a challenge that must have b een for you!  You have given your baby the best gift ever!!!!

Stay strong!

I never noticed this as much detoxing from pills. Thinking back, my skin did seem a little more oil saturated, but I'm not sure?  

I know detoxing from Meth - that stuff comes out all over your body.  I distictly remember that.  So really it would only make since that any drug would.

drugs in the hair follicles is one of the reasons people lose their hair during chemo.. and hormones during pregnancy.. and for men those that are not losing their hair because of genetics usually lose it because of exess testosterone..builds up in follicles preventing hair from pushing out..
