Apple cider vinegar and Lemon juice
Oily hair may not be life threatening, but at times it may feel
that way. Different hair types experience this more than
others. Generally those with blonde hair or very fine straight
hair deal with oily hair more often and to a greater degree
then others. But don't despair, there are effective remedies for
this condition regardless of hair type.
Remedies for Oily Hair
Massage. Before shampooing, massage the scalp thoroughly to
bring up any oil just under the scalp at the pores. Using
massage will really get the oil where you can clean it away
instead of leaving it hiding just underneath the skin.
Essential Oils. Wash with a natural, chemical free shampoo.
Add 2 drops of lavender and 2 drops of geranium essential oils
to the shampoo. Be sure to test this with just a small dab on
your elbow to make sure there is no skin allergies for these
oils. If no irritation then these oils work great and smell good
too. When you purchase your oils be sure to ask someone
knowledgeable about the proper and safe use of these oils.
Apple Cider Vinegar. After shampoo, rinse with a special mix
of one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, one teaspoon of fresh
squeezed lemon juice and a pint of water. Really work this in
well, then rinse well.
Don`t use conditioner. If you must, only use at the ends of
your hair. By improving your diet, using essential oils and
other alternatives you will find your hair is shiny, manageable
and full body without using conditioners that do more harm
than good.
High heat can increase oil from your pores so cut down on the
heat of your hair dryer and when possible let it air dry. Also
using harsh soaps meant to stop oil production only does so
temporarily. Both high heat and harsh soaps dry the skin too
much and the body sensing a complete lack in oil revs up the
system to pump out even more oil.
Oily hair can be helped with good health practices such as
eating a healthy diet, using natural, mild soaps and cleansers
along with exercise and meditation which help to reduce
stress which can sometimes trigger excess oil production by
the body. When your body is over doing such as with
producing more oil than necessary, it is usually a sign of some
imbalance. Healthy practices can bring back balance and
should be considered one of you remedies for oily hair.
