Also I would suggest using an antifungal shampoo. It could just be BO, or it could be a sign of a fungal infection (mildew-mold, yeast type of smell)
Neutrogena T/Sal shampoo
Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo
Nizoral Shampoo
just look for a shampoo that has Ketoconazole as the key ingredient. Over the counter will usually have 1% of that active ingredient and you can go to Walmart, order online, or a store that has curbside.
Shampoo, rinse and repeat, then follow one more type with a moisturizing shampoo or a very rich moisturizing/slip producing conditioner.
you can also try making a tea tree oil/distilled water mixture spray to spray on your scalp. Work it through, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then shampoo with a clarifying shampoo for first lather, then moisturizing shampoo for second lather.
I would just go with getting an antifungal shampoo, since the ratio of how much tea tree and water is not verifiable.
I hope this helps. Also make sure you air out your hair if it gets sweaty. Like take your hair down, remove your wig, blow dryer on cool if you wear a sew-in, or sit under the dryer on cool if possible. Wrap hair up at night silk. It maybe more breathable than a satin bonnet, which can trap heat.
Also no deep conditioning/hot oil treatments/pre-poo with plastic caps for long periods of time.
