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

You could try this one simple approach:  When you get in the shower, just massage the scalp and don't use shampoo.  You can use just conditioner if you feel like your hair is rather dry.  Usually just a good scalp massage and a good rinse takes care of all sorts of hair issues.  Scalp massage is said to benefit oily hair issues, too.  This is how I deal with the hair issues, even though I haven't really experienced the cooking odor issue in the hair in a long time.  Still, this should work.  You would be amazed at how well just getting into the shower or the bath either one and massaging your scalp and hair will work.

I dint get what you said that in all your years of cooking you never experienced that.  What is it that you cook is the question as any cooking brings up odours some nice and some not so nice. Mention some of the dishes you cook please.

I like your thinking, I know if I went home and my wife was naked and said you can have me if we can go out to dinner, I'd do that!!!!!

LOL, we just threw away a few tubs of lard from the pigs we had butchered, I was going to make lye soap but never got around to it. (My Grandma used to make her own soap so I thought it would be cool, after reading it was easier and cheaper to buy soap)

Since you're newly married, I have some suggestions.....,only use the kitchen when your husband is home and make sure you're naked. This will solve all your problems. You won't ever get to the point of actually cooking and then you can get him to take you out for dinner.
Lard!?????? no, really....Lard ???!!!!!!!  LMAO  I thought they banned that stuff 20 years ago.
