You’ve probably also experienced that after a day or two of washing your hair, it gets thicker. Oily hair can be a real burden, but with the adoption of simple habits you can keep it under control and enjoy healthy hair without excess sebum.
There are several factors that lead to oily hair, the main one being excess sebum. But, other factors favoring the appearance of greasy hair can be noted, such as pollution from the external environment or certain internal factors such as hormonal imbalances and vitamin B deficiency, important for maintaining normal levels of sebum. However, certain habits in your daily routine can make your hair greasy: harsh and frequent shampooing or using combs and brushes that are not properly cleaned. Moreover, you should pay more attention to the products you choose to clean your hair. Be careful to choose an appropriate shampoo for your hair type and do not abuse dry shampoos. Although dry shampoos are a quick fix, they should only be used in an emergency, as overuse can weigh down and weigh down the hair and scalp.
The right steps to care for dry hair
1 Use hair conditioner correctly
Conditioner, in addition to shampoo, is an essential hair care product. It should not be applied to the entire length of the hair and scalp, but only to the ends to protect and moisturize them. Don’t forget to rinse afterwards with plenty of water. Choose a suitable conditioner for oily hair.
2 Wash your hair less often
You should not wash your hair too often, as this habit can promote its fattening. It can be tempting to wash it once every two days, but this can make your hair produce even more sebum, especially since commercial shampoos often contain sulfates that not only strip away excess oil, but also your hair’s natural oil. Choose to wash your hair less often (once every 5, 7 days) and use a sulfate-free shampoo suitable for your hair type.
3 Use the right brush
Be sure to clean your brushes and combs regularly and change them regularly. Besides, you can also try the brush with boar hair, recommended for oily hair. However, excessive brushing should be avoided.
4 Use the right products for oily hair
Avoid hair care products recommended for curly hair or that promote shine, as they often contain silicone or oil, which can add more weight to the hair. Opt instead for the most natural, sulfate-free products dedicated to improving hair volume.
5 Don’t touch your hair too often
Excessive touching of the hair favors its fattening, because the tips of the fingers, as well as the scalp, produce sebum that can be easily transferred to the hair, informs functionofbeauty.com. Moreover, throughout the day, we come into contact with all kinds of surfaces, which is why our hands are not always clean.
6 Avoid excessive straightening with the board
Excessive straightening with the plate can amplify the appearance of greasy hair, further sticking the strands together. You can instead adopt hairstyles that give volume to your hair, such as curling. Choose to curl your natural hair.
7 Avoid excess dry shampoo
Considered a quick fix for those who don’t have time to wash their hair, dry shampoo, used in excess, encourages product build-up, resulting in a loaded look. In addition, over time, it can darken the hair. Choose to use this product only in case of emergency or as rarely as possible.
8 Use a scrub
Choose a suitable scalp with finely ground ingredients (such as sugar) and apply it in circular motions with your fingertips. Thus, you will remove excess sebum. Use the scrub once a week, keeping in mind that overuse can irritate the scapula and cause itching.
