Causes of Oily Hair
– When the sebaceous glands on the scalp produce excess oil, it can lead to an abundance of oil on the scalp and hair. The excess oil can make the hair feel greasy.
– If you have oily skin, you are more likely to experience oily hair because the sebaceous glands are more active.
– Washing your hair too frequently can strip the scalp of its natural oils, causing the sebaceous glands to produce more oil to balance the moisture levels, resulting in oily hair.
– Choosing the wrong hair care products: If your scalp is already moisturized or if you have oily skin, using moisturizing products on your hair and scalp can lead to oily hair.
Treatments for Oily Hair
Dry Shampoo
This type of shampoo does not require water and can quickly absorb excess oil from the hair, helping to “rescue” oily hair. However, dry shampoo contains ingredients that are not good for the hair and does not remove dirt from the hair, so it should not be used frequently.
Baby powder, baking soda
These two options can help you “rescue” oily hair. Baby powder and baking soda can absorb excess oil from the hair, leaving it looking smoother and less greasy.
Use ingredients such as sea salt, lemon juice, green tea, or beer when washing your hair
These ingredients help to neutralize the excess oil on the scalp, keep the scalp dry and reduce oily hair.
Tips for using conditioner
Apply the conditioner evenly from the mid-length to the ends of the hair, avoiding the scalp. Gently squeeze the hair to remove excess water, allowing the conditioner to coat the hair quickly and provide sufficient nourishment. Additionally, massage the scalp gently for 1-2 minutes to maximize the effectiveness of the conditioner and make the hair shiny and smooth.
Let your hair dry naturally
Using a hair dryer to speed up the drying process is not beneficial for the scalp, especially for those with oily hair. If you do use a hair dryer, set it to the lowest heat setting and dry from the top downwards to minimize damage to the hair.
Avoid touching or brushing your hair frequently
Habitually touching your hair or touching your scalp with your hands can transfer sweat, bacteria, and dirt from the hands to the hair and scalp, making the hair more greasy and oily. Constantly brushing your hair also spreads the oil throughout the hair. It is best to avoid these habits and only brush your hair twice a day. Additionally, regularly clean your hairbrush to reduce oily hair.
