Reply #3 - Jun 11^th, 2008 at 5:12am Hmmmm... its been very humid lately and my scalp been sweating alot. I did have it in a braid and maybe the moisture got locked. I washed my hait lastnight and made sure it was dry before braiding.

I've had mildew hair before - it is gross. It can happen when you braid or bun your hair when the hair is damp and it is very humid and warm out. I found that vinegar rinses help minimize this from happening. If I am forced to braid or bun damp hair, I try to take it out every so often and let the hair try to air dry a bit more before braiding/bunning it back up again.

Eugh. I just got back from a long trip in Costa Rica where I made the mistake of trying to wash my clothes- they never dried and got mildewed. I can't imagine my hair smelling like that.... Good thing I didn't braid my hair wet when I was there.

I think that vinegar would help, and also washing it well (this is one time where I would try shampoo on the length) and making sure it dries out all the way.
