Answer 1

I'll give you a few tips which i usually follow

Blow dry you hair by lifting your hair up from your head and drying underneath, as this will encourage your hair not to stick to your head so it wont get greasy so easily!

You can split greasy hair into two types; greasy hair and scalp or greasy scalp and dry hair. If suffering from the latter, our general advice would be to use a shampoo for the scalp and a conditioner for the hair itself, i.e. a shampoo for greasy hair and a dry hair conditioner.

If you have read this and are thinking "I don't have that, it's only my hair that's greasy", then you don't have a grease problem but a product issue! What I mean is that you're using a product that is either:

· Not right for your type of hair e.g. too heavy a product for fine hair
· Too much of a product/too much in one spot
· A poor quality product

Oil originates from glands in the scalp so this is the area we need to focus on. There are several products for oily scalps to help control the over production of oil, but it is important to know how not to make the condition worse yourself.

If your hair is greasy we tend to wash it more frequently, and scrub it just that bit harder to get it clean and this is exactly what we should be avoiding. The glands which produce the oil are stimulated by massage, therefore we should practice a few of the following habits when dealing with a greasy scalp.

· Shampoo with the flat of your fingers rather than the tips for a more gentle cleaning action.

· When combing or brushing your hair, don't over do it or use too vigorous an action.

· Try shampooing your hair a little less often! Twice a day is too much. I know that this may seem to be the worst thing for someone with a greasy scalp but give it a go. Firstly you need to break the cycle of frequent shampooing, try shampooing every second day. If you find your scalp is still greasy, wash it daily using the gentle technique we suggest above.

Evening Primrose oil or zinc supplements can be beneficial in helping correct sebum (oil) activity.

If the problem persists it could be hormonal or some other internal factor and a trichologist or doctor will need to be consulted.

Answer 4

You are using a cheap brand shampoo. Use a professional brand from a boutique or a wholesale warehouse. You will definitely see a difference then. Also, make sure you wash your hair 2x. If you want it to look shiny you may consider rinsing it in beer or even apple cider.

Answer 5

Try washing your hair each day with special shampoo meant for greasy hair, then use conditioner that goes along with it.

Answer 7

Baby Powder will absorb some of the grease. It is good idea to carry it with you to apply when you need it. Face Powder will also work.

Make sure you don't put too much on though.

Answer 8

What kind of products are you using? I'd change gels, hair spray, foam, conditioner, whatever.

Try washing with Dawn dish soap. If anything will get rid of the oil, it will be Dawn.
