Odor Eliminators for Hair

Regarding your question about using DeoMax™ Liquid for eliminating hair odor from natural sources or smoke (like from grilling), while the description for DeoMax™ Liquid indicates effectiveness against a broad range of body odors and volatile compounds, and it is water-soluble (making it potentially usable in a hair mist), it is primarily highlighted for use in oral products, foot creams, and deodorant soaps. It doesn't specifically mention hair odor.

However, based on the product descriptions, there are other ingredients that appear more directly suitable for your need to eliminate hair odor, especially from smoke, besides dry shampoo:

• Citromask™ (Natural Deodorizer): This ingredient is explicitly mentioned as being usable in shampoos and is noted for its effectiveness in deodorizing the smell of cigarettes very well. It works by deodorizing various chemical ingredients and smells. It is soluble in oil, alcohol, or Dipropylene Glycol.

• SugarClean™ (Sugarcane Extract Deodorizer): This extract is effective against various odors and is specifically mentioned as being able to eliminate hair odor and cigarette smell. It is water-soluble and can be used in cosmetic formulas (but not in the mouth).

Both Citromask™ and SugarClean™ seem more targeted towards addressing hair odor and smoke smells compared to DeoMax™ Liquid. You could consider using either of these in a liquid hair spray or mist formulation (depending on their solubility and recommended usage rates) as an alternative to dry shampoo for odor control.
