Fragrances and Headache

Did you know that some smells cause headache?

Its true, the intoxicating or stupefying fragrances of some perfumes and room fresheners are some of the odors, that if you inhale them long enough, you will find that these smells cause headache. This need not be something that you have used on your own body. It can be a perfume that your neighbour has used. So if you sit next to person and feel that your head is getting woozy, try to move to a safe distance away. Maybe 5 or 10 feet away if necessary!

Unless of course it's your wife, then that's a different story.

You should also remove your hair gel before you go to bed. Hair gels can maybe give you that great look but take care to remove it from your hair before you go to bed. Not only is it bad for your hair to have it on for to long, but it is all chemicals and it is bad for you to sleep all night inhaling these chemicals and the mild perfume that most hair gels have, these smells cause headache.

Hair gel also has the effect of sealing off all the pores on your scalp. So in the night, the skin on the scalp of your head cannot breathe and this is bad for your head as well.
