5 November, 2009 No Comment

Hair are called crown of the beauty. A good, healthy and shiny hair is a prized possession to own. But many of us are facing different types of hair problems as everyone has a different type of hair. Some have normal, some have dry and some of us have oily hair. Oily hair is one of the biggest hair problems to take care for.

Hair becomes oily because of over active sebaceous or oil gland on our scalp. They are also caused due to hormonal changes. Hot and humid weather conditions are also responsible for triggering the higher production of oil in sebaceous glands on our scalp. Excessive brushing can also stimulate oil glands. This results in more oil secretion and hence oily hair.

Oily hair can cause many hair problems. It is easy to have dandruff in oily scalp. Oily hair is tough to manage. You need more time and labour to make them presentable or style them. Excess oil can also block pores on our scalp and can cause many scalp problems.

To take care of oily hair one must first concentrate on basics. People having oily hair should wash their hair more frequently. Oily hair needs shampoo almost daily. Normally we shampoo our hair once. But with oily here you need wash it second time to wash of the sebum and left over oil in your hair.

While conditioning oily hair you need to be extra careful. Do not use two in one shampoo and conditioner. Avoid leave in conditioners as they make hair greasier.

While applying conditioner on oily hair apply it from mid of hair to the end of hair. Never apply conditioner near roots or scalp. This will lead to more oiliness of scalp and hair. Hence it will be more difficult to manage and style hair.

Try to avoid serums, hair gels or creams on oily hair, as they will add more greasiness to your hair. Oily hair has already more than needed oils, hence there is no need to apply any oil based products.

Giving your hair a vinegar rinse also works on oily hair. Vinegar soaks the excess oil and leaves your hair oil free and manageable. Do not brush your hair too much.

Avoid touching them frequently. Both these actions lead to stimulation of oil glands. Leaving you hair untied for sometime is good for oily hair, as tied hair increases pressure on scalp and lead to more oil secretion. Leaving them untied eases pressure on scalp and improve blood circulation in scalp. Hence it helps to avoid oily hair.
