Some habits you’ve developed over the years may actually be contributing to your oily hair. By paying more attention to the way you treat your hair, you can avoid the need for an oily hair treatment altogether. Read on for some tips and methods to combatting your oily hair. 

1. Dry Shampoo

Sometimes the biggest reason you have oily hair could be because you haven’t washed it in a few days. Your hair has picked up natural oils from your scalp, your hands if you touch it, and even sweat and dirt from your day-to-day life. Using dry shampoo can instantly soak up the oil and get rid of that greasy feeling we all hate. This can also extend time between hair washes, which you’ll be surprised to know can even reduce the amount of oil your hair develops.

2. Wash Your Hair Less

This may come as a total shock, and a little bit counter productive, but reducing how often you wash your hair can actually keep excess oil from your scalp at bay. Sometimes hair products can have unnecessary ingredients in it that may increase the likelihood your hair gets greasier. At first it’ll seem hard, but when your scalp regulates, you’ll notice your hair being less and less greasy.

Aside from our own natural oils, our fingers are constantly touching things such as greasy foods, our faces, pets, and all kinds of objects. You definitely don’t want to be touching your hair after eating some greasy takeout right?
