A man has related a rather funny but embarrassing tale of his meeting with a woman whose hair simply stank.

The man narrated how the woman's hair smelled so badly that he could hardly breathe.
Below is what he wrote:
*******************************************
I was in the bank some few days ago for some transactions and the queue was too long and thick.
So it happened that I was standing behind this lady with a particular kind of braids named after this popular reggea star...and o boy, the kind of stench oozing out from there was just unbearable.
I turned my head left..no way! I turned right...still no way! In fact, not even the serene and chilled atmostphere could help me.
When it became unbearable, I was forced to bring out my handkerchief and stylishly covered my nose. I heard some suppresed laughter from a guy who took notice and the lady became embarrased. It was not my intention to embarrass her though, but I had to save my life.
I know some ladies dont wash their hair, but what stops them from using treatments like hair mousse or sheen and whatever needs to be applied to keep the foul odour out is what I dont know.
Or if the hair got wet by mistake and the odour will be noticeable, what prevents such people from using caps or scarfs to cover their hair?
Any advice for such type of ladies here will be much educational healthwise, as this is a serious breach of public health.
