Having oily hair is a very common problem among women, but who knows how to take care of it best?
Read our tips, you'll find new solutions and old myths to debunk!
Wash them as little as possible
This is no joke! The more you wash your hair, the more your scalp will increase sebum production to protect it from external agents, triggering a process that will wear down the lengths (and your mood too!). It's very difficult, but shampooing should be done a maximum of three times a week, except for people who play sports and need to increase the amount. Consequently, it is advisable to use a shampoo that helps rebalance the skin's hydrolipidic layer, such as Teabase Clarifying, a lotion composed of essential oils and vitamins that regulate sebum production and sanitize the skin.
The treatment can be supplemented with a specific oil to be massaged in before shampooing, Teabase Stimulating Oil which improves blood circulation and oxygenates the skin, further limiting the production of excess sebum.
Rinse with lukewarm water
Here's a myth to dispel: it has always been thought that finishing rinsing with cold water could deter sebum production...nothing could be further from the truth!
Instead, it is advisable to rinse with lukewarm water so as not to irritate the skin and leave the best conditions for rebalancing oil production.
Oily hair, how shall I style it?
Those with oily hair know how difficult it is to manage it after shampooing. To improve the results, it is advisable not to wear your hair too long, as this could weigh it down after just a few hours, and to choose a lighter, short or medium hairstyle.
Another recommendation: don't tie it up!Tying your hair up not only breaks the lengths, but also creates the perfect conditions for the scalp to get much dirtier due to limited perspiration. Leave it loose and adopt a more carefree cut, and you'll be able to manage your oily hair better.
Yes to other treatments
Once you have decided to lighten your hair, opt for a subtle lightening where possible. This will help to "hide" the oiliness of your hair 😉
Comb them, yes, but in the right way
If you have oily hair, you absolutely must comb it, especially if you have a particularly oily scalp and dry ends. By combing your hair daily, you will be able to redistribute excess sebum throughout your hair, naturally nourishing the ends.
Therefore, when caring for oily hair, always use a brush and comb, depending on your needs, preferablywooden ones such as TEK brushes, which have an antistatic function and are perfect for facilitating blood circulation andthe absorption of excess sebum.
