roots are always oily..?

Question

okay. when i dry my hair in the morning or even let it air dry throughout the day the roots always seem to come up oily. either after its dry or later on in the day. what should i do? i use suave shampoo and conditioner.

Answer 1

I would suggest changing your shampoo and conditioner, but also when you rinse the conditioner out of your hair in the shower, do it the regular way and then bend over so your head is upside down and rinse it that way too.

Answer 2

This site has some information on oily hair:

I also found this article:
To take care of oily hair

Shampoo daily with a specially formulated cleanser for oily hair. Finding one that works for you will take time, with a trial and error approach.
Gently massage the scalp while shampooing hair and leave the lather on for at least five minutes before rinsing. Repeat right away if hair is particularly oily, and again later in the day, if necessary.
Skip the conditioner. Or, condition with an oil-free product; work a minimal amount into the hair tips only, not the roots; and, apply it only as needed.
Brush/comb hair briefly and infrequently. When working the brush or comb through the hair, avoid contact with the scalp. This helps prevent or limit the transfer of oil from the scalp to the hair.
If you have an oily scalp, use a shampoo that contains a detergent, such as ammonium or sodium lauryl sulfate. (Detergent ingredients are quite drying to skin and hair.)
Apply a mild astringent directly to the scalp for extra oil-fighting power.

My pharmacy professor said do NOT scrub scalp - that will only aggravate the oil glands. Definitely GENTLY massage scalp. She also mentioned about the talc powder.

Hope this helps you!

I have the same problem sometimes. Reducing how often you wash your hair is sometimes helpful, but if you are like me you feel the need to wash your hair EVERY day. Too much conditioner and/or not washing all shampoo and conditioner out is likely the cause also. Some people do have naturally oily hair, but like I said, reducing how often you wash your hair usually helps. I'm not an expert on shampoo and conditioner, but try to find one that prevents oily looking hair.

1] use shampoo and conditioner for oily hair
2] comb before washing
3] wet hair. Apply about 25 to 50 cents worth of shampoo to hands, rub together, and scrub the scalp about as hard as you brush your teeth. Rinse thoroughly. If shampoo doesn't lather up well the first time, repeat wash.
DON'T pile hair on your head to wash it, and
DON'T scrub the hair shaft - it doesn't need it.
4] apply about 25 to 50 cents worth of conditioner to hair shafts, NOT your scalp. Your skin and new hair don't need
conditioner. Rinse thoroughly.
5] de-tangle with a wide tooth comb
6] wash all hair accessories - combs, brushes, bands, barettes, etc. at least once a month
7] try going without any other hair products for a while - see if some of it is product buildup.

Answer 5

I use Suave also and never have had such a problem. Maybe you should stop using the conditioner. Your hair maybe naturally oily enough that you dont need the conditioner. If you want, just use it on the ends of your hair and dont lather it up into your roots.

Answer 6

I even have dandruff plus oily scalp. My hair is rather oily on the roots. i've got study that in case you utilize a organic bristle brush (like a hundred% Boar bristles attainable at attractiveness grant shops) it distributes the oil flippantly for the period of all the head so it would not stay trapped on the roots. in case you have oily hair i could recommend attempting a sparkling shampoo which you will discover by because of the fact this cleans the hair squeaky sparkling with out including too lots moisture. My fashionable shampoo, although, isn't sparkling even though it works marvelous for somebody like me who has dandruff too: Head and Shoulders Citrus sparkling Shampoo is marvelous because of the fact it has lemongrass in it that removes extra oils.

Answer 7

My roots are usually not oily, unless I've been working out or something that requires sweat. You may be using too much conditioner or not washing it out all the way. Your hair products also may not be right for your hair type. Some people just have naturally oily hair.

Answer 8

this is common! don't fret. try massaging a little bit of soap onto your scalp and then feed it through your hair. wash it out thoroughly and shampoo like regular. use less conditioner, maybe even none. use the conditioner only on the ends, not your roots.

hope this is help

i have the same problem.

Answer 9

I feel for you -- I have the same problem if I'm not careful. When you put on your conditioner, only put it on the part of the hair that's "loose" -- you know, like the part that would be the ponytail if you were wearing one.

And........... make sure you shampoo everyday!! :-)

Answer 10

You have combination hair: put a little bit of baby powder on your scalp to absorb the oil and freshen up the hair, and then put a moisturing creme on the ends to moisturize the rest of your hair.
