I have oily hair?

Question

I wash my hair every morning but by the evening it is oily agian. When I go to the store to buy shampoo for my hair I find everything but shampoo for oily hair. Any suggestions on shampoo I can buy? And does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Im 25. Im an adult.

Answer 1

Try "clarifying" shampoos. Also, make sure you use a very light conditioner (like for fine hair) and only apply to the tips of the hair - don't get it on your scalp.

You can also find hair "powders" that will absorb oil and blend into your hair (don't use baby powder) - look at Sephora for these. A good option for touchups.

Try these tips if you want salon healthy hair every day!
Hair Wash

The best way of washing hair is with Aritha and Shikakai Powder. It does not have any chemicals or any other side effects. Aritha and Shikakai powder is available at any General stores or even a banyan shop.

Shampoos

Dry Hair - Egg, Herbal shampoo or any shampoo for dry hair.

Normal Hair - For normal hair fruit shampoos or henna shampoo is good.

Oily Hair - Lemon Shampoo

Hair Oil
Oil your hair at least once in a week. If you have dry hair then oil it twice a week. Hair oil gives the necessary moisturizers to your hair. Herbal hair oil provides you the necessary nourishment along with the moisturizers.

Hair Conditioners

Henna

Henna conditions and colours your hair.

Dry hair - Add some milk, water and 1-2egg yolks in henna. This mixture will not dry your hair and will make it soft and manageable. Apply it monthly.

Normal to Oily Hair – Add water, lemon, egg yolks in henna. You can apply Henna fortnightly.

Home made conditioners

Add ¼ cup of vinegar in ½ bucket of water. This will give a good shine to your hair. Mix curds and egg yolks together and apply it for 1hour.
Hair Tonics

Try tonic Hair Oil’s powder - Put 4 tsp of this powder in water, boil it and after cooling down apply it on hair. This will stop hair loss, rejuvenate and nourish your hair.

Answer 3

Try washing your hair daily but only conditioning it every other day or even only once or twice a week. This might help alot!
I went on line and found some treatments for oily hair. You can go to Walgreens.com and look under these headings:
Shop > Beauty & Spa > Hair Care - Conditioners > Shampoo - Oily Hair
Here they have some product you can order that help to treat oily hair
Also Sephoria has some special products for oily hair, check witha salon or specialty store(such as Sally's Beauty Supply) to find them. hope this helps!

Answer 4

this is going to look like an oxymoron, but i swear it works. i used to wash my hair three times a day....now i can make it through the day and half of the next......

try a shampoo with tea tree oil. if you have a sally's beauty supply near you, they have a generic version, otherwise you will have to buy the salon version. there is also a conditioner.

you will love this!!

Answer 5

I have that same problem,I use non-oily hair conditioner from suave @ target but i don't know 4 shampoo

Answer 6

I have the total opposite problem, but i know how you feel. Insted of washing your hair everyday, try washing it every other. You dont have to use a conditoner every time either. Maybe onley a few times a week, and when you do, use verey little.

Answer 7

I put baby powder in my hair to get rid of the oil.... it works but make sure you get rid of the white powder out of your hair after you pit it..... cuz some powder might still be left in there

Try using products from

Answer 9

I suspect you are an adolescent, During adolescence the skin produces more oil (this includes the scalp). As long as it does not irritate your scalp, you might try something more detergent, even something such as Dawn dishwashing liquid.
