What should I do if my hair is oily?

In our daily life, people who like to keep clean usually wash their hair once a day, especially in the morning. They wash their hair more often because their hair has no shape after a night's sleep, so they wash their hair after getting up. In this way, the hair will look better and smoother. It is better to wash your hair every day in the summer, and in the winter, you wash it more frequently, but the hair still becomes oily. What should you do if your hair becomes oily?

Analyze the cause of oil leakage. Sebum is an oily, waxy substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the hair follicles of the scalp. When the sebaceous glands secrete too much sebum, these substances will spread to the hair, making the hair look greasy. Edward Trixmi, owner of a famous hair salon in New York, explained that once hair is immersed in its own oils, its volume will quickly decrease and it will soon look flat and lifeless. Although we cannot change the composition of our scalp, we can work harder on oil control to make ourselves look more refreshed.

Get your hair cut frequently. The longer the hair is, the more it will sag under the action of gravity, and the greater the tension on the hair roots, making it more likely to become oily and appear flat. It is recommended that people trim their hair at least once a month, which can not only help control oil but also have a certain protective effect on the hair roots.

Change your shampoo. People with oily hair are best to use a shampoo containing zinc pyrithione or salicylic acid, which are often found in anti-dandruff shampoos and can help control oily scalp.

Wash your hair and massage for 30 seconds. When washing your hair, do not wash off the shampoo immediately. You should gently massage your scalp with your fingertips for at least 30 seconds, and then rinse it. This will help wash away excess oil. If your hair is very oily, you can wash it again to make sure your hair and scalp are clean.

Blow dry upside down. In order to make your hair more fluffy, the blow-drying process is also very important. When blow-drying, you should lift your hair up, or lower your head and let all your hair face down. Blowing in the opposite direction of combing your hair will also make the hair roots more "upright".

Comb the roots of your hair. Carry a comb with you. Once you feel your hair losing volume, grab a lock of hair and quickly comb up and down the roots with a fine-tooth comb a few times. This will create more space at the roots.

After reading the above article, we understand what causes oily hair and how to treat it. Many people don’t know what’s going on. When their hair itches, they always like to scratch their hair with their fingernails. This is not good. We can use a digital comb to comb our hair, which will have a better effect in removing itching.
