Let’s talk about our Hair

What is an Oily Hair?

Characteristics:

Lucky you! Oily hair tends to be very strong and healthy, and is easily styled. However, it loses its style quickly and becomes stringy and limp, and is prone to dandruf. When sebaceous glands are overactive hair becomes lank a day after washing.

How to Take Care?

  1. Be sure to brush regularly and to massage your scalp to promote circulation. These actions do not increase oil production and they will maintain your hair’s health.
  2. Don’t use a daily or a baby shampoo. They will probably be too gentle to provide much cleansing. Avoid conditioning shampoos because they contain oils and waxes that will only add weight to your hair.
  3. If you have dandruff, use a shampoo with sulfur.
  4. The best after-shampoo treatment is to add the juice of 1 lemon in a cup of warm water and pour it all over your hair. Rinse out with cool water. Lemon juice is as astringent that will close the pores in your hair, blocking the release of oil, and will make your hair shiny.
  5. The best styling product is mousse because it does not contain oils and will add volume.
  6. Always blow-dry away from your scalp. Letting your hair dry naturally as it rests on your scalp allows it to pick up oils.
  7. Don’t use hair spray. It’ll only collect dust and moisture from the air.

Shampoo & Conditioner:

  • Use a cleansing-only Shampoo. Ones with citric juice or malic acid will be especially effective in removing excess grease.
  • If you use a Conditioner, you don’t need one with aloe, balsam, protein, jojoba oil, or waxes. Look for ones with hydrolyzed proteins or silicones.
