50/50 juice
Stopped smoking 13 months ago for 5-6 months
Relapsed while still vaping
Stopped, more or less 4 months ago but had a couple one day a week when meeting with friends/smokers over a 4-5 hour meeting
Stopped completely about 2 months ago and this time was pointed towards good equipment that did not leave me frustrated so no fear of smoking again, as long as I have access to e-cigarettes
BUT.
about 2 weeks ago I started noticing that my hair was getting greasy really quickly which was odd for I have always had normal to dry hair and never ever had greasy hair before.
Washed it a few times and a few days ago finally realized that it was indeed feeling greasy just 20 hours after the last shampoo.
Did a search online other day and funnily enough I found a few posts here about it from 2010 I think it might have been?
But before I found that, I found a whole slew of woman from all backgrounds complaining in one medical forum of waking up one day, with greasy hair.
I didnt really pay attention to mine at first thinking my hair was reacting to a long term shampoo and needed changing, until I realised that the new shampoo wasnt helping.
Much in that web page talked of them trying everything and nothing worked until one discovered a secret, using Sauve Clairifying Shampoo followed by using 3 capfuls of the classic Listerine in the Brown bottle for 1 or 2 days and then it was gone.
Well they dont make that Sauve anymore. The new one isnt the same as the old and 4x the price IF you can find it, which I wasnt able but knew it had changed anyhow. The only place i could find a clairfying shampoo was at Walmart so who knows if it really works or not but 2 days in a row I have used it twice along with the Listerine but again when I brush out the wet hair, I can tell 2 particulr areas are not 100% clean and still feel somewhat greasy to me.
I dont know why it was happening to those woman but there were a LOT of them and none identified as being a Vaper so I dont know the reasons for that grease.
BUT a second search led me back to this exact forum from a thread in 2010 where several woman were also complaining of it.
No one seemed to know IF it was a result of quitting and toxins coming out of your body trough ones hair OR if it was a sign of dehydration.
But apparently when a body dehydrates, it can over compensate by creating grease to I suppose, make up for the new found dryness/dehydration.
So obviously I am drinking more water and feel like a fish at the moment BUT WHAT I WANT TO KNOW is this, are there any of those woman here from 2010 that can confirm this actually goes away or did, or did they figure out for sure what it was?
I assume it must affect men as well but don't recall offhand noticing any men complaining about it?
So if only woman, why? Potential hormone imbalance from cigarette cessation?
Or maybe first sign of impending early menopause/hormones?
Since I did not attend medical school, I am without an answer but just want to know IF this horrible greasy hair eventually leaves?
What happened to the Vapers whose hair became greasy?
* In my case I have not noticed any side effects to either PGVG so I doubt its that.
I do however admit that I do not drink the right amount of water as some do and have to force it upon myself but thought i was doing better
So want to hopefully find out what the cure was for the woman of 2010? And/or any males this happened to?
T.I.A.
