Greasy hair can be linked to the development of skin problems including acne on the face and scalp. 

Tipes:

1.  Greasy hair from roots to ends with greasy or oily scalp.
2.  Greasy scalp and roots with dry hair from below roots to the ends.

Prevention:

-         Moisture enhancing or enriching shampoo products applied to the scalp section of your hair.

-         If your middle or ends are dry or damaged, apply moisture enriched formulas only to the areas of your hair that are excessively dry.

-         Rinse out conditioners applied near the scalp.  Only apply to the middle or ends and keep away from the top of your head.

-         Deep conditioning products applied near the scalp.

-         Styling products such as gels, pomades or mousses that will attract oil to the scalp area.

-         Washing hair in hot water.

-         Touch, combin or brushe hair yust  when is absolutely necessary.  Your fingertips, teeth of the comb or bristles of the brush can transfer oil to and from your scalp causing hair to rapidly become greasy.

-         Wearing forehead hugging bangs.  Grease and oils from the hair and skin can easily migrate causing the problem to worsen in some cases.

-         Using oil based skin care products and cosmetics.

Reasons for greasy hair:

-         Genetic predisposition towards greasy, oily scalp that migrates through the hair. 

-         Normal hair without genetic predisposition towards greasiness that is treated with improper hair care products which cause oily/greasy scalp with or without oily/greasy strands.

-         Lack of regular and consistent hair cleansing which results in the build-up of toxins, dirt and other substances resulting in greasy strands.

 

When applying grease cutting shampoo formulas to greasy strands, make sure that you only focus the product on the areas that are greasy.

A common side effect of greasy hair is dried out middle and end sections. Because in an attempt to control the oily roots, the shampoo designed to remove excessive oils overlaps onto the rest of the hair and removes precious natural oils.

TIP:

Opt for clear shampoos and stay away from the creamy ones. You want a gentle shampoo for daily or frequent washing. The secret fine hair shampoo lies in a bodybuilding ingredient called panthenol. Hair experts swear that panthenol penetrates the hair cuticle making each strand thicker.


Conditioners: Conditioners are good for combing out fine hair. Just don’t let the product touch your scalp. Massage a light-weight conditioner from mid-shaft down and no need to leave it on for long. If you have extremely greasy hair, look for the oil-absorbing tea-tree oil in your conditioner.
