How To Treat Oily Hair

Why Does My Hair Get Oily So Quickly?

Hair gets oily for a fairly simple reason. Every shaft of your hair grows out from a hair follicle.

Each hair follicle has its own sebaceous gland which produces sebum. Sebum is a natural oil that keeps hair from drying out.

Other contributing factors that can lead to excessively oily hair are:

Physical Activity- the more active you are, the more sweat and sebum you produce
Natural Texture- fine hair gets oily quicker than curlier hair. People with fine hair have more hair strands on their head than curly haired people. The increased volume of hair strands means more hair follicles, and more sebaceous glands to produce more sebum.
Personal Hygiene and proper hair care products- you should be washing everyday with professional products especially made for oily hair.

Here’s a step-by-step instruction on how to best treat & eliminate excessively oily hair:

Wash hair everyday with a shampoo designed to treat oily hair. I recommend, Oily Hair Shampoo by Framesi. Be careful not to wash your hair more than this because over washing can over stimulate sebaceous glands, causing more sebum production.
Follow with a light, yet nourishing conditioner like Restore It by Framesi
A special once a week treatment like Famesi’s Exfoliating Treatment is a good idea too. It’s like a facial scrub for your scalp, removing any excess dirt, hair product, or sebum. Just rub it into the roots of your hair a few minutes before shampooing, then shampoo/condition as normal.
If your hair stills feels too greasy by the end of the day, and you need it to look fresh for the evening, or you want to start washing your hair every other day, then I recommend also using a dry shampoo like 7 seconds Dry by Unite. Just spray at the roots and brush through. Or for a more voluminous looks, use a round brush and blow dryer to restyle.
