Ladies, how do you manage to keep your hair from smelling after cooking?

I got married 8 months ago, and I still have VERY limited abilities to cook. I know what ya'll think, poor hubby lol. One of my pet peeves is that after I'm done in the kitchen, my hair smells very bad, and also my clothes. I can't wash my hair every day, and I definitely can't cook naked lol. So ladies, please help me out here, what are some tricks for not getting a smelly hair? UGH...it makes me want to puke I swear...lol

I have the same problems with cooking in the kitchen, it drives me mad  - I use BED HEAD  its like hair spray called Headrush and smells lovely..

or maybe try working a hat, or cooking the things that smell the most the day before you wash your hair.

GRose, I'm doing something similar. I'm getting a cook hat!!!  :)

sobermommy, I will certainly do so. I got a black one just because everything I have on my kitchen counter is black, you know, for matching purposes :)

Why don't you try a bandana on your head, fold it in half like a triangle and tie it at the top of your head.

Thanks April, I will also get some good recipes online and try my best to cook a good, tasty, healthy meal. I'm sure I'll love it, too. It was only $15.00, God bless Target! and God bless you for that idea you had. I had no idea about the existence of a crock pot because simply, I never had to worry about cooking. It's so comfortable living with your parents. You usually notice it the most once you have left for good. Thank God hubby is considerate, and eats what I cook, and never complains. Poor man LOL

My hair smells no matter what. Even chicken in the oven makes my hair smell. Mind you, I don't put weird ingredients or unheard of herbs in my chicken. Yuk...

It's not just frying that will make your hair smell. It's anything that's putting off an oder in the air, whether it be a soup, chili, anything that you're cooking on the stove. I especially notice it when I'm making chili. My hair will smell like chili!

PrettyKitty, you will LOVE the crockpot! Just get an easy cookbook for crockpots and start trying it out. I guarentee you'll love it!
