Oily Hair


Unless freshly washed, oily hair always looks greasy, as if you've slicked it down with gel. It always seems to look dirty. It is limp and stays close to your head, refusing to have any body. Moreover, having oily hair usually also means you have an oily scalp. You need to shampoo often with a shampoo especially made for oily hair, taking care to cleanse the scalp thoroughly with a double application of the shampoo. Don't use a conditioner except on the ends (and then only if you have to)-or you'll end up with "oilier" looking hair. If you need to use a detangling instant conditioner after shampooing, choose an extra-body product which is low in oily conditioners.
