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

Tuckamore, You're right about places where frying takes place, and perhaps this hasn't happened to you, but when I go to Quiznos or Subway I get the same end result. I always leave with a stinky hair and clothes, and I don't think they fry. I just don't get it. Why does my hair have to stink no matter what I cook. Although I gotta say, cooking spaguetti is the only thing that works, but I can't eat spaguettis for the rest of my life lol.

Oh by the way, I bought the crock pot today! Now I gotta learn how to use it  :)

Crecco, good one!!  LOL  

Prettykitty if you don't fry your foods you hair will not smell. I've noted that employees that work at restaurants that fry a lot of food "smell" like hot grease. Wisconsin is famous for the traditional Friday night fish Fry's. In some of the smaller, (and often the best) local fish fry restaurants even the guests smell like hot grease. I had a waitress tell me once that if she goes to work with wet hair that is in a tight wrap her hair does not smell. So you may want to try it.

That's not accurate. I don't fry foods and my hair absorbs smells. It doesn't matter how I'm cooking it, if it has a strong smell (like tacos, or something with onions), it sticks in my hair. It happens when I eat at restaurants too, especially Mexican restaurants.

I can't say that I have ever had kitchen smells stick in my hair from cooking either. But I did fall asleep one time while frying chicken and it burned so bad it was like a big lump of charcol stuck in the pan. My house smelled like something similar to wet chickens for about 2 weeks.
