Greasy and Oily hair

I am a dry shampoo addict unfortunately. I have blonde hair and by day two it already starts looking oily and lank, so I get 3 days by using dry shampoo on the second and third day. Works well for me.

I tried dry shampoo on desperate days but I am washing my hair everyday now. Other methods didn’t seem to work well for me.

Great tips ladies, thanks! I suffer from oily hair as well. It’s such a pain washing so often. I usually wash every second day, but lately I’m trying to push it out to 3 days, especially if it’s the weekend and I don’t need to leave the house.

Have a read of this 🙂 really useful info.

Brushing it too much can make the scalp produce more oil too.

Yes, definately dry shampoo is a lifesaver. I personally havent experienced more hair fallout from using dry shampoo. I use Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo. Agree with other comments to train your hair to only need washing max twice a week. In winter I was once a week, but summer I’ll wash every 4 or 5 days. Dry shampoo on the last day gets me through to a 5th day in summer. One tip that works for me is before shampooing, if my hair is really greasy I will do an apple cider vinegar rinse on my scalp (1:5 ACV/water). I massage a bit of it in, let it sit for 5-10 mins and then rinse the rest through, but focusing on the scalp. It helps to remove excess grease and keeps my hair from getting as greasy in between washes. Goodluck! The temps are starting to rise now, so it’s a good thread!

After a few days, my hair is an oil slick. I last longer between shampoos when I use TRESemmé Deep Cleansing Shampoo. I don’t like the matching conditioner, so I use a different conditioner, but I only apply it to the ends of my hair.

I can eke out an extra day before shampooing if I use dry shampoo. I favour Klorane Dry Shampoo WITH NETTLE – for oily hair.

Good luck, Iranga!

I have heard a lot about people ‘retraining’ their hair. It’s supposed to be good for oily hair. Perhaps look into that?

My hair has been like this for a few years now, if I don’t shampoo it every day, it starts to go greasy/oily and drives me nuts, so I shampoo everyday, sometimes dry shampoo does help, Otherwise, I wear it up in a twist and clip. Oh, I have tried a hair masque and that actually gets me a few more days before needing to shampoo/condition.

I hear ya! I suffer the same. I use dry shampoo on day 2, and it seems to keep me going a little longer. Bastisse gives me the best results
