How to deal with oily and greasy hair

By Lahari Basu

1

Do not overwash your hair

Overwashing hair can lead to greasiness. Wash every three days with sulfate-free shampoo and condition just the ends.

2

Choose the right hair brush

Choosing the right hair brush, such as a boar bristle brush, can help distribute natural oils and eliminate greasiness from roots. Clean the brush frequently to remove buildup.

3

Use aloe vera hair mask

Aloe vera mixed with honey, sugar, and coconut oil can deeply cleanse hair, soothe the scalp, and make your hair smooth and healthy.

4

Rinse hair with apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar can prevent excess oil production on the scalp, reduce frizz, and maintain pH levels to prevent fungal infections and dandruff.

5

Wash hair with lukewarm water

Hot water can lead to a greasy scalp and dull hair by stimulating sebaceous glands and stripping off natural oils. Use cold or lukewarm water for hair wash instead.
