Head Sweats

Hi, Anyone out there knows of a cure for head sweats? Not matter how often I was hair, even every day, I have head sweats, dont sweat from anywhere else just the head more often on hot days. Some people say to spray head with anti-persperent, another remedy I havent tried is a spice/herb called Alum which apparently you mix with warm water and use as a final rinse to your hair? Anyone tried that one? Need advice as hot weather is here.

    maybe your like me and have very thick hair, the last few days have been hot so i've had the sweat head,

    perhaps a trip to hairdressers to have your hair thinned out a bit
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?

    Hi, I was just wondering if you are on any medication? I still have this problem - but to a much lesser degree than I did when I was taking the pain-killer Tramadol. Once I got it out of my system I found it didn't happen quite so often. As for a cure - I haven't found one yet, but I'll be watching this thread with interest.;)

    It has been very hot recently, get rid of the throw and open the window more!

    It is cooler tonight so you might be better. If it persists though, (even when weather not hot) I would go to the docs.

    You could try a chillow - DH didn't really like his, but they work for some people. Google it ... we bought ours from Amazon.
