i have very thick curly hair....grr

Answer 1

Use shampoo and conditioner for oily hair, and never, EVER condition near your roots. Also, make sure you're washing your hair every day unless it's curly.

Also, volumizing products may mask the smell and even slow the oil production, especially if it dries your hair out a little.

Answer 2

I am a hairstylist this is what goes on

Mainly due to hormonal problem, the sebaceous glands tend to become overactive and produce too much sebum.



Avoid too much brushing of hair because it might further stimulate the oil glands that are already over-active.

Shampoo your hair every third or fourth day or even more frequently, depending on individual comfort. A good nourishing liquid shampoo is often the best answer.

Excessive oiliness if neglected can lead to falling hair. If treated in time it can be prevented.

Wear your hair in easy-to-manage, well cut style. Light perming can help as it lifts the hair slightly away from the scalp, making it less easy for the sebum to travel up the hair shaft.

Answer 3

Try using a shampoo made for oily hair and go light on the conditioner

Answer 4

from what i know, when your body produces a lot of oil or moisture it is because it is not getting enough of it. it overcompensates by producing more itself.

try a shampoo and conditioner that is designed for your specific hair type. (for oily hair).

good luck.
