An extra oily scalp can lead to many other problems. Not only is it frustrating to have to wash your hair every day, but it can also be embarrassing to be caught with greasy hair. In addition, oily hair can ultimately lead to hair thinning, itching, dandruff, and other hair concerns.
Reducing Oil On Your Scalp
In order to reduce oil on your scalp, there are some things to add to your hair care routine that can help. First, make sure you are using a shampoo that will help get rid of oil. Keranqiue’s Scalp Stimulating Shampoo is made to aid in thinning hair and is designed to deep clean and stimulate the scalp. The stimulating shampoo contains Keratin and Panthenol to get rid of impurities for good, increase shine, decrease oil, remove buildup, and strengthen hair.
It is best for most people with excess oil to wash their hair about three times per week. If you wash your hair every day, it can cause your glands to produce even more oil. Be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly after applying shampoo and conditioner to reduce buildup.
If you choose to use a conditioner, make sure to use it only on the ends of your hair. If your scalp is very oily, it doesn’t need much conditioner. Excess conditioner can increase the amount of oil in your scalp.
Let’s also not forget, if your hair and skin are very oily, genetics can play a role, but your diet might be of concern as well. If your diet is full of greasy, oily processed foods, it could be causing issues. Try to switch up your diet to healthier items and see if that helps.
Clean Brushes Regularly To Reduce Oil
Another important point to remember is that you should be cleaning your brushes regularly. Take a look at your brushes now. Do you see a lot of hair, lint, and buildup? It is time to wash them! Brushing your hair with a dirty brush can make your hair oily and dirty. All you need to do is fill up a bowl with hot water and a little bit of clarifying shampoo.
Use a toothbrush and dip it in the mixture. Once complete, scrub your brush with the soapy toothbrush. Rinse, let dry, and you will have a very clean brush! In addition, you may want to take a break from hot tools. Hot styling tools like curling irons and straighteners can also damage your hair and make oily hair worse.
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse To Reduce Oil
Try an apple cider vinegar rinse. Many people swear by this natural rinse. It can help reduce oil, dandruff, and even scalp infections. Mix two to three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with two cups of water and apply it to your scalp. Then rinse with cold water. You can do this a few times a week for squeaky clean hair.
If you are in a rush and can’t wash your hair, use dry shampoo on the roots and rub in generously. This can hold you over until you’re able to fully wash your hair. The dry shampoo will have your hair looking less greasy almost immediately.
