5 Hacks For When Your Hair Is Seriously Greasy

So many of us struggle with having to wash our hair everyday as it gets greasy quickly. Oily strands are the most annoying thing if you are prone to them and they can make styling your hair such a nightmare if you really don’t have time to wash it. APO Hair will show you five unexpected facts that could make your hair greasy and five tips to deal with oily hair when you don’t have time to wash your hair.

UNEXPECTED THINGS CAUSING GREASY HAIR

1. Touching your hair too often

Like constantly touching your face (which could cause sudden acnes), fiddling with your hair will transfers oils from your fingertips to your strand.

2. Over-washing

We often think that the more often we wash hair, the cleaner it can be and there will be no greasy thing anymore. In fact, it doesn’t help much. Daily shampooing can strip your scalp of its natural oils, so your hair has to produces more to replace them. Try cutting back your washing time, your hair will thank you in the long run.

3. Over-conditioning

Applying a conditioner that is too heavy for your hair type can weigh your hair down. Not washing out properly can also be another grease-giving culprit. Remember to avoid placing your conditioner all over your hair, just focus on the ends, keep the roots away from grease.

4. Over-brushing

Brushing hair too much at first can make your hair look glossy, but soon it will be greasy. Don’t brush the root area, stick to detangling the lengths and ends if you have got an obsessive hair brushing habit.

5. Dirty hairbrush

Your hairbrush can absorb all sort of nasties, it can contain stale styling products and dust. A clogged brush will transfer these onto the hair, make it feel dirty. Therefore, remember to clean your hairbrush properly and regularly.

FIVE HACKS TO DEAL WITH GREASY HAIR

1. Blow dry

Blow dry the already dry hair? Sounds weird, right? But it is actually a great way to get rid of greasy roots. Use a round brush to lift the hair at the root while you are blow drying to create more volume that will separate your hair from your scalp. If your brush is the boar bristle, round kind, it can help to drag the oil down the lengths of your hair and away from your roots.

2. Dry shampoo

Of course dry shampoo is the number one solution for a greasy hair. Nothing quite does the trick of making your hair look clean like this. Make sure you are using it right. Apply it in sections by parting your hair so that you can cover as much of your scalp as possible especially at top of your head. Once you have spritzed it, use your hands to work in so that it picks up as much oil as possible before you brush it out.

3. Braid

Adding loads of extra texture will really help you to disguise your greasy hair. Braids can help you to do this because you can really thicken them up and create loads of texture which helps to disguise greasy locks. You can make a halo, Dutch or fishtail braid as they are the easiest to pull out and thicken up.

4. Baby powder

This is a very quick, easy and effective solution for you. All you need to do is sprinkle baby powder on your hands, then run it through your hair, pay attention to the roots, the jawline and underneath. When finished, your hair will look and smell fresher. It will soak up the grease and make it look newly washed.

5. Work with it

You can use your greasy hair to create sleek look. A low bun with a deep side part can be your best bet for hiding greasy hair and suits literally everyone. The hairstyle is very simple. First backcomb your hair in sections to lift your roots, then smooth your hair down into a low pony. Once you are done twist your pony into a bun, and finish the look with some hairspray.
