How to deal with oily hair :

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Start by ditching that moisturizing shampoo. Use only clear shampoos from now on. These are the shampoos that regardless of tint or color you can see through it. They are the best for cutting the grease out of hair.In some cases it might be necessary to shampoo twice a day. Avoid over shampooing. Wash your hair in the morning instead of right before bed, or wait as long as possible before going out. A tea tree oil based shampoo is a good choice for anyone with this problem.

2. Step 2

   Rinse the hair with a natural acid such as lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Just a few drops mixed in with water. Rinse the hair and scalp.

3. Step 3

   Ditch the conditioner. If you feel there is a need for it, do not apply it to the roots or near the scalp, only on the ends.

4. Step 4

   Avoid over brushing the hair which makes the hair more oily. In fact don't brush much at all unless you have trouble with tangles. This is usually not the case with oily hair.

5. Step 5

   Clean your brush and combs on a regular basis. They are collecting oil! The last thing you want to do is apply oil on a freshly shampooed head.

6. Step 6

   Blow dry your hair after washing. Flip your hair upside down while drying.

7. Step 7

   Avoid mousse, this is a nightmare for oily hair.

8. Step 8

   For extremely oily hair mix witch hazel, and a mouthwash such as Listerine and dab on the scalp. This will act as an astringent on the scalp. Only use this if the problem is extreme. Be extra careful not to irritate the scalp.

9. Step 9

   This could be hormone related. If you all of a sudden start experiencing oily hair this could be due to hormones or birth control.
