Oily Hair Care: Top 7 Tips on How To Get Rid of Oily Hair

You may mostly come across oily hair among hair types. You also likely have oliy hair.

It’s harder to care of oily hair and to remove its oiliness compared to other hair types. But it’s still possible.

After having read the following secrets, perhaps most of you will understand improvident oily hair care.

On basis of my experience I can ensure you that you’ll be able to reduce oiliness and also will attain healthier hair, if you follow the below golden rules of oily hair care:

1. Wash your hair once it becomes muddy.

If you wash hair even just a day later, the activity of oil glands on the scalp increases and it impedes cleansing oiliness from hair. Besides, in this case hair is “programmed” to become oily more often. But if timely and properly washed, hair becomes oily more rarely.

2. Don’t scratch your scalp while washing hair.

While scratching the roots of hair, you irritate oil glands, activating them, and as a consequence of it, hair becomes oily faster. Therefore instead of scratching, just firmly massage your scalp with ends of fingers.

3. Don’t wash oily hair with HOT water.

Hot water is also “a friend” of oil glands. Maybe you don't know how to wash your hair in the right way and as a result, it may have become oily, even though it wasn’t so before. Oily hair should be washed only with lukewarm or cool water.

4. Avoid shampoos for all hair types.

Such shampoos have universal contain, so they are not effective for oily hair. Each hair type demands individual approach. Therefore while choosing a hair shampoo buy only shampoo and conditioner for oily hair.

5. Don’t dry oily hair with a hot drier.

During this process, the activity of oil glands is increasing. Actually it’s not recommended to dry any hair type in such a way. Sooner or later it causes hair loss. The best way to dry oily hair is the natural way – keeping open after taking its wetness with a towel.

6. The shampoo and other remedies for oily hair that you buy from shops are not enough for oily hair.

You should certainly add this list homemade natural remedies for oily hair. For example, you can use the following hair conditioner recipes after washing:


1. 3-4 tbsp dried (or 5-6 tbsp fresh) nettle + 1l water. Pour the boiling water on the nettle and let it infuse.

2. 3-4 tbsp dried (or 5-6 tbsp fresh) mint + 1liter water. The process of appying is similar.

3. Juice of 1 lemon + 1 liter water. Mix the ingredients and apply as a conditioner after shampooing.

The last two recipes are especially more effective for reducing hair oiliness and also bring hair shine.

7. Minimize intake of fatty and sweet foods.

Instead of that, eat more fruit and vegetables, it’s better to drink freshly squeezed juices, especially juice of carrot.

Unfortunately, most people consider that it’s enough to care hair from outside to provide its beauty and health and that’s why they use only hair remedies. But they forget that what we eat is transmitted to hair follicles as well to other organs. That’s why we should enrich our daily ration with various vitamins and microelements if we want to strengthen hair from inside.
