What to do with oily hair?

Summer is here, the weather is getting hotter, and our skin starts to sweat and produce oil a lot. This feature is very obvious in the hair. Some people, especially women, wash their hair once or even several times a day to keep their hair fresh. But experts say that frequent hair washing can easily cause symptoms of hair loss and scalp inflammation, which is particularly harmful to the hair. So, what should we do if our hair is oily?

Mastering the methods to combat oily hair and maintaining them over time can ensure that your hair returns to health.

1. Use a mild shampoo with strong cleaning ability. It is recommended to contain peppermint or tea tree oil. These ingredients can protect the hair while also effectively removing oil. It is best to use shampoo twice to achieve thorough cleaning.

2. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, because the residual shampoo substances will definitely damage the hair to a certain extent. For oily hair, it is recommended to wash it thoroughly and increase the frequency appropriately, generally 1-2 days is appropriate.

3. Massage frequently and gently massage your scalp with your fingertips to promote metabolism, which is the key to ensuring healthy and non-greasy hair.

4. It is recommended to rinse with vinegar. The ratio of vinegar to water is generally 1:4. Vinegar is acidic, so it is easy to remove plankton. Rinse thoroughly to make your hair more resilient and shiny, then rinse with clean water. The smell will disappear quickly.

5. Don't fiddle with your hair often, especially in the summer. Sweat and oil are secreted vigorously in the summer, and the hair can easily become a "towel". The hair generally has a good absorption capacity, so it is easy to make the hair greasy quickly.

6. Throw away products such as mousse and hairspray. These sticky products can easily make hair stick together, resulting in the inability of hair to metabolize normally, which will damage the hair and make it more oily.

7. Pay attention to the material of the comb. Avoid using plastic combs. The friction between plastic and hair can easily generate static electricity, and products made of plastic are not good for health. It is best to use combs made of sandalwood or ox horn, and the teeth should not be too dense. Gently combing your hair can massage your scalp and make your hair smooth.

8. Moisturizing, balanced diet and stress reduction, healthy diet are the basics. Ever notice that when you’re anxious or stressed, your hair feels greasy and itchy? So, manage your stress and your hair will be less greasy.

What we need to do is to master the correct way of washing hair, eat a reasonable diet, and exercise appropriately. These methods can help us control the oiliness of hair. There is no need to worry too much, nor is there any need to do any deliberate hair care, because improper care may cause serious consequences, which will only backfire in the end.
