This blog post is requested for winter and all. Greasy hair, everything I am not . I do get greasy hair whenever I straighten my hair, so I do have an pretty good experience in that area. However the grease appears after at least 2 - 3 days. I have learned a couple of tricks for my hair, however this post is for all oily girlies out there. Also since the winter is coming up and a lot of us will be avoid the cold showers, there will be a lot of grease to fight. The following are all the tips and tricks that will help you with your greasy hair. Greasy Hair:
The Wash:
-When washing your hair go with warm or cold, because washing it with hot water will flatten it and weigh it down
-Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar once every other week, they will cleanse the excess oil without having to strip them down
- You can use sulfate shampoo once a month so you can really clean your hair, however using it on regular basis will make your hair go stubborn and produce more oils as it's being stripped
-Daily washing is not a good idea at all, even though it might seem like a simple logical idea. Don't provoke your hair, think of your oily hair as an oily monster who will produce more oil if you try to take away his precious oil.
-When conditioning your hair, don't apply conditioner to the roots of your hair; focus on the ends and don't splurge on it.
The Salon:
-This tip goes for all hair types, even if you are going to use heat on your dog's hair -in the unlikely event of that happening-; you should use heat protecting product before applying any heat in there.
-Using the spot on hair dryer is so much better than the regular one. It doesn't apply heat directly to your end and it gives a gorgeous wave, also it doesn't flatten the hair strand making it ready for the oils to slit right through it.
-Using the old school straighter according to my hair stylist is better to delay the grease rather than use the ceramic "babyliss style" straighters. Personally I have tried this and it does take a longer time to grease.
-Style it curly rather than straight. It's easy if you simply straighten your hair rather, it will make an easy road for oils to slit down your hair strand. The tighter your curls are, the harder is it for the oils to slit to the hair strand.
-Blunt bangs are not the best idea for you if you have greasy hair, especially if you have oily to combination skin. Simply your bangs will touch your forehead a lot, this means you will be in the zone of mixing both hair and skin oils together. Go for longer bangs or side swept bangs to avoid this hair disaster.
The Daily:
-Remember in combination skin post, I mentioned that we should stop touching our skin so we wouldn't make it more oily. Actually, same goes to hair; any dirt or oils or bacteria will instantly move to your hair by constantly touching it.
-I know the Disney gave us an impression, that beautiful hair comes with a lot of brushing, however that is far from the truth. Try to un tangel your hair from the ends and don't touch the roots too much.
-Dry shampoo is your friend, you can try out Baking Soda as a cheaper alternative. I haven't used dry shampoo, however I heard good stuff about the brand batiste and I have found it in the salon I go to. I actually took a picture of all the types, excuse my photographing. They do have options for brunette hair, as many people complain about having powdery white roots from dry shampoo.
-When you feel like your roots are getting oily, run to your dry shampoo. If you control your oils at the scalp, you will treat them right before running to the hair itself.
