How to solve the problem of oily hair?

Oily hair is a common phenomenon that occurs in most people. Some people wash their hair every day, but their hair is still oily, while some people don't wash their hair for several days and their hair is not oily. Especially in summer, when the temperature is high and the body's metabolism is relatively fast, it is easy to cause oily hair. So how do you solve the problem of oily hair? Here are some solutions to your hair becoming oily quickly.

The first reason why hair becomes oily quickly: frequent shampooing will accelerate oil secretion

As we all know, if you don’t wash your hair for a long time, your hair will become oily (a long time is 1-3 days. If you don’t wash your hair for 1-3 days, then you don’t need to read the rest), but if you wash your hair too frequently, it will also become oily. We know that sebum is secreted based on information feedback, just like our skin, the more dehydrated it is, the more oil it secretes. Frequent shampooing will clean the grease on the scalp and even take away the grease that protects the scalp. The sebum will lack oil information and then further secrete sebum. This will lead to more and more oil secretion and more and more oily hair.

Solution: It is best to wash your hair once every 2-3 days, but make sure your hair is clean every time you wash it. Shampooing can be done twice, the first time is for cleaning the scalp, and the second time is for cleaning the scalp and hair at the same time. If your hair is messy when you wake up in the morning, you can rinse it with water and use conditioner on the ends of your hair (remember not to get it on your scalp). You don't need to use shampoo at the end.

The second reason why hair becomes oily quickly: shampoo selection

There are a variety of shampoo products on the market now, and a good shampoo product plays a key role in the health of your hair and scalp. Some more moisturizing products will prevent the hair and scalp from getting a comprehensive and deep cleansing, and long-term use will cause hair health problems.

Solution: Most shampoo products contain silicone. Silicone is a sealant that is often added to shampoo and hair care products. People feel good after using it, but due to the sealing of silicone itself, hair care nutrients cannot enter. It will also adhere to the scalp and cause clogging of pores, leading to problems such as oily hair and hair loss. So if your hair is severely oily, be sure to choose a silicone-free shampoo or a pure plant shampoo.

The third reason why hair becomes oily quickly: incorrect use of conditioners and hair masks

In fact, after-shampoo conditioners and hair masks can play the role of moisturizing hair, but this type of hair care products can only be used on the hair and must not touch the scalp. Because the hair care ingredients in conditioners and hair masks will only make your clean scalp dirty again, which will then lead to oily hair.

Solution: When using conditioner and hair mask, avoid the scalp and only apply them to the ends of the hair, especially to areas that are frequently permed or dyed and to dry and damaged areas.

The fourth reason why hair becomes oily quickly: excessive use of chemical hair products

Using styling products like hair spray and hairspray will isolate your hair from air for a long time, which will then make your scalp greasier. In addition, if hair products are overused and not cleaned thoroughly, the products can easily accumulate on the hair and scalp, which can lead to serious problems with oily hair and hair loss in the long run!

Solution: If your hair has always been severely oily and has been conditioned to healthy hair, avoid regular use of hair styling products. If you must use it, choose some refreshing spray and wash your hair and rinse it out before going to bed at night.

The fifth reason why hair becomes oily quickly: improper diet and rest

A greasy, spicy diet or frequent consumption of fried foods and junk foods will make the sebaceous glands active and the oil secretion strong, resulting in severe oily hair. Staying up late, lack of sleep, mental stress and other reasons can also cause serious oily or yellowing problems.

Solution: In daily life, you must ensure adequate sleep, regular rest, and eat less high-fat and spicy foods. But you also need to exercise more, maintain a good attitude, avoid being too nervous, and so on. Comprehensive conditioning of your physical condition will not only improve the problem of oily hair, but also be beneficial to your physical health.
