Oily hair causes its owners a lot of trouble. You have to wash your hair every day or, even worse, your hair becomes dirty already in the second half of the day.
However, don't despair. With our tips, you can have healthy and clean hair for a long time.
How to wash your hair properly
We often hear that the more often we wash our hair, the faster it gets dirty. This is true, … but only partly. Using a good shampoo, you can wash your hair as many times as you want.
What to do:
— wash your hair with shampoo designed specifically for oily hair or with a neutral pH content;
- use a small amount of shampoo or conditioner at a time;
- Before applying shampoo, do a quick light head massage. This will speed up blood microcirculation.
- after applying shampoo, lather your hair and rinse immediately;
- After washing your hair, rinse it with cold water. This tones it and makes it shinier.
What not to do:
- wash your hair with baby shampoo, since its components, despite their mildness, are not suitable for teenagers and adults;
- scratch your head with your nails while washing, as this activates the sebaceous glands; - wash your hair once;
- wash your hair with pleasantly warm water, too hot water activates the sebaceous glands.
How to Dry Oily Hair
What to do:
- After washing your hair, dry it with a towel to remove excess water and reduce the time it takes to dry it with a hairdryer;
- Dry your hair using circular motions so that the air stream does not linger in one place for a long time.
What not to do:
- try not to use a hair dryer close to the roots of your hair.
How to style oily hair
- do not use a metal comb, it is better to use a plastic or horn one;
- Avoid hair styling products that weigh down hair and thus promote sebum production.
In addition to all of the above, to have healthy hair, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle and watch your diet. It is also useful to take food supplements based on sulfur-containing amino acids, zinc and vitamin B6.
