Greasy hair: the daily hinderance you never asked for… well good luck for you we’ve made a guide on how to limit those slick hair days!
Be gentle with your hair
Stop going all hulk on your hair when washing it! Use lukewarm water instead of scorching hot temperatures and massage shampoo into your scalp with a gentle touch. Your scalp is as delicate as your face so treat it like it!
Don’t under-wash or over-wash
Find your sweet spot when it comes to washing your hair. Washing too frequently can strip away essential oils, which can actually trigger your scalp to produce even more sebum. On the flip side, going too long between washes can allow excess oil to accumulate. Experiment with different schedules to discover what works best for your unique hair type.
