Re: Help with greasy hair

I never found baby shampoo to be good.

What you can do, is take your regular shampoo and dilute it a little in a separate bottle. I've been doing this recently, I still use the same volume of shampoo but it's dilute (basically I don't end up just using double of the dilute stuff), works just as well and my hair falls less in the shower.

And yes, just lightly shampooing your bangs and water rinsing the rest of your hair is a common solution.

Traditional Treatments for Greasy Hair

  • If you use oil based hair styling products, make sure a suitable shampoo that is designed to emulsify the oils is used.
  • If hair seems greasy after washing, try washing it less to allow the natural balance of hair to return.
  • If hair is washed once a week and seems greasy, try using a mild shampoo and wash more frequently to find a good balance of washing and oil production.
  • Buy products formulated for greasy hair and use as directed, these often have a built in conditioner as a separate conditioner can add to the greasiness of hair.

Alternative Treatments

If you are in a hurry, try sprinkling talcum powder onto the scalp, leaving for a few minutes then brushing through with a fine toothed comb; this is not advised if wearing dark clothing as powder may be mistaken for dandruff.

Many natural remedies include the use of vinegar and lemon used as a rinse, as their acidic qualities remove the oils. Though these solutions may work, it should be noted that too much acidity in the hair can strip the hair shaft also causing the hair to look lifeless and dull and that vinegar may leave a strange aroma in the hair.
If hair continues to appear greasy after trying all of these methods, visit your GP or a Trichologist to determine the cause and find a suitable treatment.

Preventing Greasy Hair

  • Maintaining a diet low in oils and fat can help reduce the greasiness of hair.
  • Always wash hair after exercising to remove a build-up of sweaty based oils on the scalp.
  • Avoid playing with your hair as the glands will produce extra oils due to the stimulation.
  • Do not wear hats all of the time as the sweat produced will lie on the scalp and not be able to evaporate.
  • Choose a suitable shampoo for your hair type and an individual washing regime that is right for your hair type.
  • Limit the use of treatments and styling products to allow your hair to find its natural balance.

Re: Help with greasy hair

you can try using a shampoo formulated for your hair type. there are deep cleansing ones for oily hair, the moisturising ones are for dry hair. a few drops of tea tree oil in your shampoo also works and gets rid of dandruff too.
