Solutions & Fast fixes for Greasy HairFiled Under: Hair Tips

Greasy hair is due to a build-up of the natural secretion (’grease’ or, more
correctly, sebum) from glands in the scalp (sebaceous glands). The sebum passes into the hair follicle and spreads upwards and over the hair shaft. It is not absorbed into the shaft. For oily hair that needs frequent washing, avoid using shine-enhancing products which can make greasy hair look stringy.

Don’t use creamy conditioners and waxes that stay on the hair shaft and put your oil production into overdrive.

 Don’t over-brush. Use a dab of leave-in conditioner on the ends only, avoiding the scalp.
