greasy hair care tips

Oily hair is not only difficult to style, but it is also one of the most common causes of scalp acne. How to get rid of this hair condition is no-doubt a matter of concern. In today’s article, ETE Hair Happiness will provide you with 6 perfect treatments for your greasy hair

1. Moisturize your greasy hair with conditioner

In fact, your greasy hair does need to be moisturized with conditioner! Yes, you did not misread! This type of hair care product is not only okay to be used for oily hair, but also essential for it. Conditioner provides your hair with the necessary nutrients and healthy doses of hydration and nourishment. Moreover, it prevents your hair from being brittle and lifeless, which shampoo alone cannot do.

Despite all the good effects of conditioner, not all types of it are going to be right for oily hair. Regular conditioner are very intense; they possibly create a moisture imbalance for your hair strands. Therefore, you should look out for lighter options like a foam for free-flowing hair. 

Besides, you need to use the conditioner correctly to maximize its effectiveness. Instead of applying the product all over the strands from roots to ends, you just use it only on the tips of your hair. If you apply the conditioner directly to the scalp, it might create product buildup, which is one of the causes of scalp acne. Also, remember to rinse your hair thoroughly after this process, so that it will not look even more greasy.

2. Wash your hair less often

Not many people know that frequent hair washing is actually one of the reasons why your roots are oily. Shampoos are produced with the purpose of cleansing the dirt off our hair. Within this process, these products also remove the essential sebum from your strands. To replace the sebum that is stripped, your scalp produces even more oil, which leads to a never-ending cycle and leaves you with nothing but greasy hair

To solve this problem, try skipping the hair washes at least once or twice a week. By this, you are encouraging your scalp to produce less sebum and less quickly. In case, your hair gets too greasy, try applying a dry shampoo in between the hair washes since it helps absorb excess oil without rewetting.

3. Consider carefully before choosing hair care products

Many hair care products are specially produced for specific hair conditions such as damaged hair, dry hair and oily hair. If you choose the wrong ones, those products will exacerbate the hair problems without your recognition.

It is recommended for people with oily hair to stay away from any products with the labels of “shine-enhancing” or “anti-frizz” since they usually help to produce extra oil for users. Alternatively, you should search for products with volumizing properties to lift your hair and keep it from coming in contact with the oily roots of yours. 

4. Put your hands away from your greasy hair

Same as our hair and face, the fingertips also produce oil. If you get used to playing with your hair a lot, you certainly transfer the oil from your hands onto your hair and scalp. Moreover, you possibly help to deliver the sebum from the scalp to your strands. Obviously, your hair will end up looking even more greasy than normal. Therefore, you need to stop touching your hair all the time. 

5. Avoid straightening your greasy hair 

Straightening actually worsens your hair problem since it makes the strands look more oily. This is because straight hairstyles create a direct path helping the oil from the scalp to move down to your hair shaft. In addition, the strands may get closer to the scalp and easier to obtain oil from it once your hair is straightened. 

Instead, you should opt for curly or wavy hairstyles. Not only do they provide you with a fabulous look, these hairstyles also help to add more volume to your hair. 

Only a few changes to the current hair care routine can help you wave goodbye to greasy hair. ETE Hair Happiness hopes that these methods will benefit you with pretty hair.
