Over-Shampooing is the devil
You might think that since your hair is so oily all the time, it is crucial for you to shampoo every single day—but nothing is further from the truth! In fact, when you make the hellish mistake of over-shampooing greasy hair, your thick mane becomes stripped of natural oils that actually nourish the hair and as a result your sebum glands tend to overproduce oils. This causes more of a build-up, adding to your oily hair nightmare. Resist the urge to wash every day and you’ll see some sparking results that’ll keep your grease in control.
Fabulous results with aloe vera
Mixing one tablespoon of aloe vera with your shampoo is the equivalent of a super-drug in terms of detoxifying your scalp of impurities. Aloe will heal and rid your scalp of excess oil, dirt and grime.
The vinegar rinse
If you’re willing to put the pungent fragrance aside, then brace yourselves for one of the most effective remedies for oily hair. White or apple-cider vinegar can do wonders for your greasy mane. The acidic properties of vinegar cleanse oils and impurities from the scalp. Shampoo your hair and rinse with one cup of vinegar mixed with one quart of water. Trust us, it’s one small sacrifices for some solid solutions!
