Feel your hair is always greasy? It could be due to these three things

Fresh mane for days.

Do you find your hair going greasy too soon after showering?

I often feel I hardly get a day out of my hair before I start to notice the grease creeping back, making my hair not only oily but limp and lacking shine.

If you’re like me then don’t fret, as there could be a very easy fix to the solution and it could be down to just three things you’re doing wrong.

What products do you use?

First of all, the shampoo and conditioner you use are important to note. Are you just grabbing whatever is in the shower tray or are you going out to purchase products specific to your own scalp?

Iain Sallis, founder of Hairmedic and trichologist, spoke to Glamour and said that not only should you start buying specific shampoos, but you should also AVOID products with the label “dry”, “damaged”, “smoothing” or “glossy”.

What are you eating?

What’s in your diet is important for EVERYTHING. Your diet is the key to healthy skin, good teeth, a lean physique, a strong heart, you name it. But a diet with a lot of oil can cause your hair to become greasy quicker. So, if you notice a lot of products with an oily base, try to avoid them or at least cut-down, instead, eat more fruit and veg.

How often are you washing?

Lastly, how often do you wash your hair? This will be a lazy girls’ dream because guess what, every day isn’t good. Yes, the cleaner your hair is, the easier it is for oils and products to seep into your glands causing your hair to become greasier. Once you begin to cut back on washing your hair so often, you’ll notice a huge difference, trust us.
