There are some mycobacteria or fungus spores present in the scalp. I might try borax saturated solution to kill them, besides is a necessary mineral. that kills the fungus and molds. The other of my favorite remedy is a mixture of 1 teaspoon of ammonium chloride with 1 glass of water to use as hair wash. I do that to help smelly scalp too. Those two are the most effective I found but you can also use tannic acid 1 teaspoon per glass of water and use that to kill the fungus too. A cheaper, although less effective approach is to try a strong green tea or black tea and apply it to the hair, leave it on 5 to 10 minutes and rinse. Green tea and black tea contains some tannic acid also.
