How to Prevent Oily Hair - Skip the shampoo. Shampooing too often can strip your scalp of its natural oils, causing it to overproduce sebum. So if your daily or every-other day routine still results in greasy-looking locks the next day, it may be best to scale it back a bit. Also keep in mind, your hair will have an adjustment period, so give it a couple weeks and see if your new routine helps keep hair looking fresh. Dry shampoo can help for the in-between days, with all products, you should try a few different ones to see which works best for you. - Apply your shampoo and conditioner the right way. If you have a habit of piling on the lather, or rinsing too quickly, you may not be giving the right care to your hair. Make sure to scrub your shampoo into your scalp so it cleanses properly, and rinse thoroughly. Also, if you don’t already, make sure that you apply shampoo to your roots and conditioner to the end of your strands. - Have a healthy diet. Eating a diet full of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, biotin and vitamin A all play an important role in promoting scalp health. - Use a clarifying shampoo or rinse. Constantly having products in your hair means using all sorts of different chemicals that will build up overtime. Having buildup means your shampoo will have to work harder each time you wash, resulting in a dirty/greasy look. While it is not necessarily true that your hair “gets used to” certain shampoo and stops work, replacing your routine product with a clarifying product once a week can get rid of residue and help your normal shampoo do its job again.
