Similar to our skin, hair is also divided into different types. While normal hair is super straightforward, dry hair does not produce enough sebum, which leads to a lack of moisture. Exactly the opposite is true in the oily hair category: In this type, the sebum glands of the scalp are overactive, which quickly makes the roots straggly and the appearance even a bit neglected. Time to get the problem under control - with these tips against oily hair.

5 care tips against oily hair

1. Use anti-fat shampoo

Freshly washed hair always feels wonderfully clean. With oily hair, it is very important to match the shampoo to your personal type. Special shampoos that gently but thoroughly cleanse the hair, regulate excessive sebum production by the scalp, and nourish dry tips with moisture are ideal.

Ingredients such as salicylic acid, vitamin B6, rosemary, chamomile, or tea tree oil, which eliminate excess fat, as well as light moisturizers such as hyaluronic acid and glycine are particularly suitable.

And: use a silicone-free shampoo. Other hair types benefit from the substance. But especially with greasy hair, it can weigh down in the long run and even more cause a greasy hairline.

 

2. Don't wash your hair too often

Though tempting, oily hair shouldn't be washed every day. This attacks the natural protective mantle of the scalp and really boosts sebum production.

Wash the shampoo thoroughly and with lukewarm water. On the other hand, hot water can severely dry out the scalp.

You should also urgently avoid using a hot blow-dryer for too long after washing, to prevent a dry scalp.

3. Exfoliate the scalp

If you have an impure, oily scalp, it is worth using a deep cleansing exfoliating shampoo every few weeks. This dissolves silicone and styling residues, which make hair greasy faster, make it look flat, and can be the cause of an itchy scalp.

4. Healing or clay mask

Healing clay is one of the best home remedies and a real all-rounder for beauty problems like straggly hair. We recommend using a mask with healing clay twice a week: This absorbs excess sebum and cleans the skin pores at the hairline, which prevents impurities and dandruff. By the way, you have the same effect as clay.

For the cure, simply mix ten tablespoons of healing clay with 200 milliliters of water, apply to dry hair and scalp, leave on for 20 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.

5. Use dry shampoo

Dry shampoo is the ultimate SOS help for oily hair. It absorbs grease, makes the hairline feel clean, and makes the hairstyle look more manicured overall. It is best to put it in the handbag to freshen up the hair quickly in between.

3 styling tips against oily hair

You can already do a lot against oily hair, and not just with care. We'll also reveal a few important styling tips to you:

1. Change the parting

Always wearing the parting in the same place causes the hair to lie flat and grease particularly quickly. Therefore change the parting more often. Nice side effect: the styling hack gives fine hair more volume. Read more hairstyle tips for thin hair here.

2. Clean the brush regularly

Don't forget to clean your brush regularly. Dead skin cells, residues from styling products, and sebum collect there. You should therefore clean your combs and brushes once a week with warm water and a mild shampoo.

 

3. Choose the right hairstyle

In addition to the correct care of oily hair, styling can also work wonders and hide a quickly greasy approach. Especially a sleek ponytail or braided hairstyles like boxer braids put an end to bad hair days. It is important that the hairstyle fits well. You shouldn't touch oily hair too often.

And: You should avoid accessories such as caps and hats if you have greasy hair, as they can exacerbate the problem. Forehead fringes are also a no-go because a stringy pony, unfortunately, looks very unkempt.

The right home remedies for oily hair

Furthermore, you are sure to have one or two home remedies at home that can help you with this beauty problem:

Baby powder

A great alternative to dry shampoo? Baby powder! This soaks up oil from the skin and gives you the feeling of freshly washed hair. Simply spread some powder on the greasy base, pat it in gently or use a brush to spread it.

Tea rinse

Black tea contains tannins that have an astringent effect. This means that the pores of the scalp contract gently and the activity of the sebum glands are inhibited.

For a refreshing rinse with the home remedy, simply brew a pot of tea, let it cool and rinse the hair with it. Let the natural product take effect for a short time, then wash off your hair with shampoo and water.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera gel can be transformed into a soothing, moisturizing, and fat regulating home remedy with your personal shampoo and a squirt of lemon juice. Leave the DIY shampoo on for five minutes and rinse thoroughly with water.
