Greasy hair

[chazza]

My hair has started to get really greasy, far quicker than it used to take for it to get greasy.

I've started using clarifying shampoo which does help to an extent but I was wondering if there's anything else I should change as well.

I don't touch it much, only use shampoo and conditioner (on the ends only), my skin's not greasy, have a relatively good diet etc

when my hairs greasy i blow dry it. theres no harm in washing it everyday, its just a myth that that makes you have greasy hair. perhaps you could ask your hairdresser to. she/he might recommend some products hope this helps xx

Try changing your shampoo. Your hair sort of builds up a resistance to a shampoo after a while. Buy a bottle of something else for a change, then you can try reverting to your usual shampoo.

It's the conditioner......too heavy for your hair so look for a lighter conditioner. I recommend the cheapest you can find as they have a lower Ph balance. Or the wash & go sort, they're usually mixed shampoo & conditioner.

I use loads of different shampoos and conditioners and it's always the same. I've spoken to my hairdresser and she could only recommend one for greasy roots and dry ends, which I've tried.

Thanks for your help anyway!

I suffered from this for years and changed my diet and only washed my hair every 3 to 4 days and stopped touching it but nothing helped until I discovered Lush.

They do shampoo bars whic last forever and they do one specially designed for greasy hair. Here's the link

Its a bit strange at first washing your hair with a solid shampoo but you soon get used to it and it really does last forever. Give it a go it worked wonders for me!

Good luck!

i find puttin the shampoo onto my head when my hair is dry, massagin it in then addin the water to lather...it seems to cut the grease better...not diluted with water i guess

i also check its all off by rubbng my rinsed wet hair to see if it squeaks..then you know
