Oily Hair No More - Top 5 Products
Lena Williams
Oily hair can drastically affect your appearance and confidence. When sebum (which contains a blend of wax and oils) is produced in excess, it can weigh down your hair, give it a greasy feel, look flat on the scalp, and make strands stick together. Those suffering from oily hair are likely to face challenges such as ongoing shampooing, an inability to style their locks into complex hairdos, the constant need for refreshers throughout the day, and an overall lack of vibrancy in their mane. It’s no wonder that those who suffer from this problem are so eager to find a solution that will take the discomfort away and leave them feeling confident about their hair again.
Overwashing your hair is often the culprit. It may be hard to resist but if you scrub your hair every day it will strip the scalp of its natural oils, causing it to stimulate the production of even more oil. Worst-case scenario, washing too often can cause dandruff and even excess hair breakage.
Instead, reduce how often you cleanse your hair. Depending on your hair type, try limiting your washes to three times a week. The first few weeks will be greasy but once your hair gets used to the new routine, you’ll thank yourself.
It might sound obvious but also reducing how much - albeit unconsciously - you run your hands through your hair will limit oiliness too. Every time your hands come into contact with your scalp you’re transferring even more oil, which makes for an unhappy, greasy scalp.
