My hair has been getting really oily lately?

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.

If you use lots of conditioner that could make your hair oily. Try using less conditioner and only put it on the ends of your hair. That's one thing that might make your hair oily.
