A member asked:
I used lemon directly on my scalp after so many washes even now my scalp smells like egg ?

Stop washing: Lemon juice contains an acid. You have irritated the scalp and repeated washings is probably making it worse. Try not washing your hair for a few days and let your scalp recover.
