Oily hair is usually greasy, heavy, thin and without volume. There are several possible causes for excess oil and sebum in the hair. Among the most common are physiological issues and hormonal changes, bathing with very hot water, using a dryer at too high temperatures and using shampoo not suitable for hair type. So here are some tips to get rid of excess oil in your hair.

Using a proper shampoo is key. Currently, the commercialized shampoos are tested and their formulas are already adapted to a specific type of hair. If the hair is oily, you should always seek to use a shampoo that comes with the indication that it is for that type of hair.

It is not recommended to wash your hair every day, since the scalp takes about 24 hours to dry completely. You should wash your hair on alternate days and avoid baths with very hot water, as this causes a greater dryness of the skin and the scalp and causes the glands to produce more oiliness.

Another mistake in capillary washing that causes the accumulation of sebum in the scalp is the misuse or overuse of the use of conditioners and masks. Oily hair, although it also needs a conditioner to prevent the appearance of spiked tips, should be placed only from the ear to the tips, always avoiding contact with the root. After using the conditioner, it is necessary to wash the hair well with water, so that there are no remains of the product in the hair.

You should keep your hair loose and avoid wearing hats, berets or scarves that will not let your hair breathe, which can lead to dandruff. In this case, you can also use an anti-dandruff shampoo for oily hair.

If the problem persists, we can always opt for an anti-oil oil such as this Moroccanoil Oil No More for weekly use, or resort to the help of a hair care specialist.
