How to Prevent Greasy Hair

Greasy hair is every woman’s nightmare. It’s even worse when you have an appointment at the hair salon and have to suffer from the embarrassment from hearing the hair stylist comment on the grease in your locks. Unfortunately, sometimes regular washing doesn’t always prevent greasy hair and you could end up with oil pouring out of your scalp the very next day after a hair wash.

To effectively prevent greasy hair, you need to follow some tips to keep your hair healthy and oil-free.

#1: Keep your hand off the hair

Running your hand through your hair might be look charming to some people and it might even help some women concentrate but touching your hair too much can actually oil production and make your hair look very greasy. The science behind this is that you’re transferring whatever germs or grease you have on your fingers to your scalp.

Similarly, brushing your hair too much can also stimulate the oil pores and generate more grease so brush only when you actually really need to detangle them. You should also frequently clean your brush so the oils in your hair that have gotten into the brush won’t be transferred back when you brush them again.

#2: Using too much conditioner

Women who have naturally thin and fine hair usually suffer grease in their hair more than women with thick hair. That might be because using the same amount of conditioner on both types of hair will produce more grease in those with thin hair. Conditioning your hair might help to soften them but using it on a regular basis will make the oils come out more frequently. Pro tip: if you want to use conditioners on a daily basis, just use it on the ends of your strands.

#3: Use a dry shampoo

Using a premium quality shampoo from Aveda or an appointment at an Aveda Albany hair salon like Purity Hair Design can help to reduce the grease in your hair almost instantaneously. It’s a great short-term remedy for greasy hair that can save you from a fashion disaster in seconds.
