You don't have to make your own shampoo, just get a sulfate free shampoo. Sulfates dry out your hair and can cause irritation so that might be your problem. Always check the ingredient list for them. Try to get argan oil shampoos, I read that argan oil is the best oil for keeping hair soft and shiny. Look online for pro naturals argan oil shampoo. They have a conditioner too (silicone free, also important).

i'm no longer precisely knowledgeable in this subject be counted, yet because of the fact the extra youthful sister of a cosmetologist, I even have some techniques. an elementary shampoo could be made with very gentle dish cleansing soap (like, the type that still softens palms besides as disinfects) an extremely small volume of water and egg whites. i assume the ratio of cleansing soap to eggwhites could be approximately 3:a million. Egg whites additionally make a physically powerful hair gel on a warm or muggy day, they're additionally scentless. Hair conditioner is a little extra difficult to make, because it has chemical components in it that coat the hair strands and makes them quickly 'extra suited'. i could advise basically making use of an elementary, affordable over the counter conditioner. the expert types that cosmetologist use are powerful, yet fairly harsh and extremely high priced. i could nonetheless advise making use of offered conditioners. If there is an organic and organic/well-being nutrition keep interior sight, then i could incredibly examine that out in hopes of looking additive-unfastened hair care products. If all else fails, basically replace your nutrition ordinary. healthy hair starts off interior. save your physique healthy and your hair will reflect. A multivitamin additionally helps. stable success, and that i'm hoping my techniques helps

Itchy scalp is a symptom, and people who don't have that, there's a reason why they don't itch.
An itchy scalp is an inflammatory reaction of the skin underneath the hair on your head. An itchy scalp is a common problem, particularly among adults. An itchy scalp may or may not be associated with a visible rash or broken skin. An itchy scalp can be caused by a serious underlying condition that requires medical treatment, such as lupus or hypothyroidism. If you have an itchy scalp that is persistent, seek prompt medical care to talk with your medical professional about your symptoms.
In the beauty industry, there is no industry-agreed meaning for terms like 'organic' or 'natural'. Unlike the food industry, these terms are not regulated for cosmetics which means companies can use these terms pretty freely.
Also, products like shampoo, conditioner and body wash are mostly made of water so therefore are mostly natural (because water is natural, right?). So if a shampoo is 90% water, then a company can simply claim "90% organic or natural" and be telling the truth. Certainly, this isn't in the spirit of what people believe organic to mean, but it is within the law.
If you've watched the Miss Universe weeks ago, SEVERAL OF THE WOMEN there, have greasy hair, and they have used CHI products to curl all their VERY LONG HAIR, with professional hairstylist standing by, to do touch ups. There are no touch-ups, when you do your own hair, and you're going outside in the wind, rain, etc. . . . that flattens and pollute the hair even more. Another reason, why the hair industry is a trillion dollar business. Nicole Kidman, too, during the SAG Award, her hair is greasy & thinNER 1-27-13. Google her when she did the movie with Tom Cruise, Days of Thunder 1990.
Causes for greasy hair:
You're using the wrong shampoo. Many are formulated for damaged, curly hair or fine hair. I'd take them back. One hotel sample shampoo I have, made my hair greasy by the 2nd day, and I started itching, they normally sell for $15. JLo's New Loreal Commercial? Her hair is greasy & flat there!
You're having conditioner buildup. Many don't even need conditioner. I don't, haven't used it for over 16 years.
You're using oil on your hair, to protect your hair from straightening/curling tools.
You're eating too many oily foods.
You're shampooing frequently.
You're using too many hair products: gel, mousse, you're not letting your hair breath. Too much product can limit natural hair movement, clump hair together, weigh it down and make it look greasy and thin.
You're going to bed with damp hair.
Your liquid make up or moisturizer can evaporate and touches your hair. Rinse your face well before going to bed.
“Very hot water is harmful for your scalp — even more than it is for your hair,” says Nina Lotia of Toni&Guy Karachi feels water should be warm and not too hot. “It helps providing a healthy pH balance; hot water, on the other hand, makes your scalp oily,” she says.
After shampooing, use two towels (long hair) to absorb most of the water from your hair. Blow-dry only for 5 mins. concentrate on the roots, before going to bed, if you're shampooing before bed.
Find the cause then eliminate them.
I DID AN EXPERIMENTATION, and this was for one day: I used the same shampoo. Since I was in a hurry, I only blow dried my hair just the roots, leaving half of my hair not dried. So, I put it up in a bun. Eight hours later, I decided to take the bun out, and my hair was still damped, stringy, greasy! I tried blow-drying it, but it didn't get dried, there's no way to get them dried, and I used my blow-dryer. I even stood by the air fan, since it was hot, and my hair didn't go back to normal, but the roots of my hair was as silky, soft, smooth like always. The following day, my hair was as greasy, but the roots remained normal. WHY? Because the shampoo ingredients, and not getting them 95% dried, tampered the hair. Good way if you have frizzy hair, but not to my normal hair.

5 decades of great hair know-how, previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've used Garnier Fortifying shampoo for Normal Hair for over 15 years. I now use the shampoo Pure Clean, but it did the same as if I washed my hair with Garnier, and I'm almost done with the bottle. What's best for me, may not be best for you, since we ALL don't have the same texture, and we don't take care of our hairs the SAME WAY, nor do we eat the same foods. I've not used conditioner for 16 years.
