Do you feel identified with this story? You leave the house with freshly washed hair, with a body and spectacular flexibility. But before midday arrives, your roots become oily and your hair loses all its style. Our tips will help you put a "dry" end to this serious problem.
When your scalp accumulates a lot of fat the hair looks chafed and lifeless. There are very quick solutions to combat it!
Nizoral A-D Anti-Dandruff Shampoo with Ketoconazole 1%, Dry Itchy Scalp Shampoo for Dandruff Control & Relief, 7 fl. oz
Simply dust off your fat roots!
Carry a bottle of talcum powder or corn flour with baking soda. Simply apply a small amount of one of these powdered substances to the roots of the hair and work the scalp with your fingers just as you would with a shampoo. Next, use a brush with natural bristles to remove all grayish residue from your hair.
Use alcohol on the fat roots
Spray a little lacquer on the roots of your hair (make sure to use a lacquer indicated for fine or oily hair, never for damaged hair) or massage a small amount of foam on your scalp. Alcohol, both lacquer and foam, absorbs excess fat and returns the body to the hair. Another simple method: use a cotton soaked in facial toner to clean excess oil from your scalp. The facial toners also usually contain alcohol that will help you clean the fat (check the ingredients in the product's packaging).
The fat under control!
Of course, washing your hair would be the right solution, but we can not always do it. In these cases, dry shampoo is very practical. Simply spray it on the hair, near the scalp, and use a towel to gently rub it. Brush your hair and wait a few minutes for the dry shampoo to take effect.
Keep hair away from the oily scalp
The closer the scalp hair is, the more fat it absorbs. Therefore, you should lightly brush the hair closest to the roots or the fringe. You will get more volume to your hair and keep it away from the source of sebum (fat).
More solutions for the roots of oily hair:
- The fringe is not entirely useful when it comes to hiding the roots of oily hair. The line on the side or in the middle is much more appropriate, you can always make the fat roots part of an ultra smooth or straight look.
- If a few hours after washing your hair your hair becomes very greasy, several wicks can be an ideal solution to this problem. The hair with wicks has a slightly rougher and drier structure.
- Be sure to use brushes, combs, curling irons and curling irons that are clean. Otherwise, the residues of conditioners, finishing products and sebum will cake your hair shortly after you have washed it. Ideally, clean the brushes and combs once a week with a mild shampoo and let them dry outdoors. (Drying the brushes and combs by leaving them on radiators would damage the bristles.) Regularly clean the hair straightener and curling iron with a cotton soaked in pure alcohol.
- If your scalp produces too much sebum (fat) you should not, under any circumstances, use hairdressing products that contain oils, such as wax. Alcohol-based fixation products such as foams, lacquers and fixative gels are much more suitable for oily hair. As always, start using a small amount, you can always add more if necessary.
- Use brushes with natural bristles (for example, boar bristles). These bristles are able to distribute the sebum in the hair.
