Tips
- Prevent the smoke smell from getting in your hair by wearing a hat or putting your hood up. Try to stand or sit farther back from the flames if you can help it, too. [14] X Research sourceThanks
- If you have long hair, tie it back or put it in a bun when the fire starts so fewer strands are exposed to the smoke in the first place.Thanks
- If none of these methods work, wait out the smell. If you were lightly exposed to smoke, the scent should fade in a few hours. If you spent all night around a bonfire, the smell might take a full day or so to go away.Thanks
