Full and fresh hair 24/7 – Yes, please. Unfortunately we all have to deal with oily hair from time to time. It's a very normal thing and after a while almost unavoidable. Yet there are certain tricks to prevent oily hair and guess what? We've got it all figured out for you: the best tricks to avoid greasy hair.
9 Tricks to prevent oily hair
1. Moderate your shampoo use
The more shampoo you use, the faster your hair becomes greasy. It's better to only use a small amount with each wash, especially when your hair tends to get greasy easily. Tip: use a shampoo specifically for greasy hair. Another tip: only apply conditioner to the ends of your hair, never to your scalp!
2. Don't shower too hot
A lower temperature reduces the production of sebum on your scalp, while a high sebum production leads to greasy hair.
3. Use the right hair products
Anti-dandruff shampoos help to balance a greasy scalp because these shampoos have a high pH level. The source of greasy hair is the low acidity, namely below 4. Side fact: A healthy pH level is between 4.5 and 5.5.
4. Clean your hair brush regularly
And by that we don't just mean removing your hair from the brush, but also cleaning it.
5. Change your pillowcase regularly
You may not see it immediately but your pillow is an easy dirt catch where you then lie in with your hair. For that reason it's best to change your pillowcase two to three times a week.
6. Don't touch your hair
It's almost addictive: running your hands through your hair. Stay strong and don´t do it! The dirt on your hands easily gets into your hair by doing that, which causes it to get greasy more easily.
7. Wear your hair tied up
A ponytail or bun indirectly reduces greasy hair because it prevents you from touching your hair too often. Besides that it's not annoying you by falling into your face and saves you some time in the morning. A win-win situation.
8. Be careful with your hair dryer or straightener
As tempting as these tools sometimes are, don't underestimate how greasy your hair can get from them. This happens due to the heat from these appliances which at the same time dry your hair out. Let's rather avoid both!
9. Holy Hair
Complete your daily beauty routine with Holy Hair. These are vegan beauty supplements that provide beautiful, long, strong and shiny hair. An important ingredient is Biotin. Also called Vitamin B8. Biotin is one of the most important hair vitamins.
