It can happen so that you lose track of time and don’t have enough time to wash your hair. There is always something else that comes up or you just don’t have the power after a long day to do it. Here are some tips that may help you to avoid greasy hair situations and some lovely and super easy hairstyles that will save you in such a case.
How To Deal With Greasy Hair
In order to have healthier hair, full of shine and glow you need to find the cause of excessive oiliness, and keep it under control. Sometimes random habits from our daily routine might be one of the reasons for getting greasy hair.
Don’t wear tight hairstyles too often as tight hairstyles and ponytails may seem like a perfect way to hide your greasy hair, but this hairstyle causes your sebum to accumulate under your hair and its roots. Elegant hairstyles require a lot of styling products that smooth the hair, but harm your scalp. Be gentle to your hair and reduce the usage of styling products and hairstyles that require a lot of combing and touching the hair.
Don’t rinse your hair with hot water as hot water washes away sebum and dries out your scalp, causing dandruff and excessive oil production. It would be better to rinse your hair with warm water after shampoo, and after conditioner rinse your hair with cooler water to close the pores of the scalp.
Don’t use the wrong hair care products: make sure you use hair products suitable for your scalp type, not hair but scalp – these can be different types! Read carefully hair product ingredients. There are products with additional silicones and oils that will make your hair look shiner but will damage your scalp. Try to use natural remedies such as applying coconut oil to nourish the hair, but at the same time reduce its oiliness.
Don’t wash your hair too often – if you wash your hair too often, you can cause a PH disbalance of your scalp. This is one of the reasons to produce more oil, especially if you use the wrong hair care products. Try to wash your hair less frequently and make sure you are using the right hair care products.
Busy lifestyle and stress encourage your body to produce more cortisol. This hormone triggers your skin to produce more sebum and as a result, your hair looks and feels greasier. Stress is also one of the reasons to have dandruff. Slow down your daily routine and get some days off. Try to change your lifestyle and use special anti-dandruff hair products if that happens. Some health problems, such as hormonal disbalance and seborrheic dermatitis, can cause excess sebum production. This is a reasonable sign to make a general health check. And now let’s find out how to style your hair on a bad hair day.
