How to make your hair look less greasy

For women, washing hair every day is very troublesome, because many women have long hair and it takes a long time to wash hair, so most women wash their hair every two or three days. Some women are busy at work and sometimes they don’t have time to wash their hair in the morning and have to go to work with oily hair. For the sake of your image, how can you make your hair look less greasy?

1. What should I do if my hair is always oily?

1. Rinse with clean water every other time to control oil

If you are used to washing your hair every day, or if too much oil is secreted if you don't wash your hair, you don't need to use shampoo and conditioner every time you wash your hair even if you wash it every day. You can rinse it with clean water every other day depending on the situation. This can also remove stains on the hair and scalp, but will not increase the secretion of oil. For people whose hair is not too oily, washing their hair two or three times a week is enough.

2. Don’t dry-shampoo your hair and avoid massage to stimulate your scalp

Many people like to go to the barber shop to dry shampoo their hair, which means pouring shampoo directly on dry hair and rubbing it for more than 10 minutes. In fact, massaging and rubbing the scalp for oily hair will only promote more oil secretion, and the shampoo in the barber shop is not very reliable. It is recommended to do a quick wet wash, which is healthier.

3. Do less hair combing for health reasons

Although massaging the scalp with the fingertips in the morning and evening has certain health benefits, for an oily scalp, this will passively disperse the oil into the hair shaft, stimulating oil secretion and increasing oil production.

4. Change shampoo

People with oily hair are best to use a shampoo containing zinc pyrithione or salicylic acid, which are often found in anti-dandruff shampoos and can help control oily scalp.

5. Cut your hair frequently

The longer the hair is, the more it will sag under the action of gravity, and the greater the tension on the hair roots, making it more likely to become oily and appear flat. It is recommended that people trim their hair at least once a month, which can not only help control oil but also have a certain protective effect on the hair roots.

2. Hair care food

1. Salmon

The protein and vitamin D in salmon are beneficial for strengthening hair quality, and the omega-3 fatty acids in salmon are as important to hair as water is to the human body. This fatty acid is beneficial to the health of scalp cells and prevents dryness of scalp and hair.

2. Walnuts

Walnuts are not only rich in omega-3 fatty acids, but also rich in biotin and vitamin E, which can help protect hair from the sun to a certain extent. In addition, walnuts contain copper, which helps keep hair shiny.

3. Oysters

Oysters are rich in zinc. If you are deficient in zinc, it will lead to hair loss, dry scalp, dandruff, and even eyelashes falling off. In addition, oysters are rich in protein. Dreyer said that the main component of hair is protein. If the body lacks sufficient protein, the fallen hair cannot be replenished in time, and the new hair will become dry and brittle.

4. Eggs

In addition to being rich in high-quality protein, eggs are also rich in four minerals that are beneficial to hair health: zinc, selenium, sulfur and iron. Iron is especially important for hair health because it helps cells carry oxygen to hair follicles, and iron deficiency is a major cause of hair loss, Dreyer said.

5. Spinach

Nutrients such as iron, beta-carotene, folic acid and vitamin C in spinach help keep hair follicles healthy and make hair shiny.
