Chlorine, tobacco smoke or even a DIY treatment went horribly wrong – there are tons of situations in which your hair can acquire an unpleasant smell or even weird, greenish color! Luckily, there are hair rinses to help you with that! Tomato juice, for example, works wonders for smelly hair, helping it regain its natural, normal smell as well as normal color.
