Greasy hair, what now?
If your hair gets greasy very quickly (even within a day), you're not alone. There are ways to manage it! I will give you some tips & tricks for a clear, effective strategy to help reduce oiliness and stretch time between washes:
But first, what causes (quick) greasiness?
Over-washing triggers your scalp to produce more oil.
Using harsh shampoos strip natural oils, causing overproduction.
Touching your hair too often transfers oil from hands.
Heavy products and hormones/stress/diet.
🧼 How to wash your hair:
1. Shampoo Correctly
Start with washing your scalp! every other day (or daily if really needed) and gradually stretch time between washes. The ideal time between washes is 2/3 days.
Use a clarifying shampoo once per week.
Massage your scalp only, don’t pile all your hair up and scrub. Your hair doesn’t need to be washed, your scalp does! Do this twice, so pre-wash first, rinse and then a thorough wash.
Rinse thoroughly, leftover product causes more buildup wich means quicker greasy scalp.
2. Avoid Conditioner at the Roots
Apply only to the ends.
Use lightweight, oil-free formulas.
Rinse out completely. It needs to feel dry, thats when you know you rinsed your hair properly.
Don’t airdry your hair, this also causes a quicker greas build up. Just dry your hair with a blowdryer on low/medium heat. Do not forget to use a heat protector.
I hope these tips were helpfull. If you need more help or product advice, just hit me up!
