Why is my Hair so Greasy?
With so many women complaining about their scalp being too greasy, we all must be doing something that is causing our hair to become oily too quickly. Having an oily scalp myself, I decided to investigate my own daily routine and determine whether I am doing anything that is contributing to my scalp’s excessive oiliness. I have rounded up the top 10 common mistakes a lot of people make and solutions that will help you skip hair washes and enjoy cleaner hair for longer.
10 common mistakes that lead to a greasy scalp
1. Facial oils and creams
2. Oily hands
3. Excessive hair touching
4. Naturally oily skin
5. Oil based makeup
6. Dirty hair brushes
7. Not brushing your hair with the right tool
8. Washing hair too frequently
9. Not washing hair properly
10. Too much hair product
#1. Facial oils and creams can lead to greasy hair
If you’re moisturising your face and neck twice daily, congratulations, you’re on the right path to ageing gracefully. However, if your fringe is touching your forehead and your hair is touching the side of your face, then the oil that might be still sitting on your skin, will only end up on your hair follicles.
