Question

I have to wash my hair everyday because it is so greasy. Is there any way to reduce the grease?

Answer 1

i have the same problem but i find that if you leave it three of four days (i know you'll find it disgusting but tie it up or wear a hat) you can then wash it every other day because constantly washing your hair makes your body over produce grease

if this doesn't work try washing it in cold water i have know idea why that helps it just seems to

no luck? try investing in some dry shampoo its spray on and it only costs like £2 in superdrug you just spray in on your scalp leave it a few minutes then brush it out

Answer 2

1. shave head; or

2.  Use shampoo obtained from pharmacy, and follow washing instructions to letter, i.e. probably NOT washing every day...

Answer 3

Just keep washing it, a lot of people do this

Answer 4

Yes there is a way by using Head and Shoulders for greasy hair.The shampoo is a good prescription ,cause you have the conditioner and shampoo at one.,it will reduce grease form forming  

Answer 5

You are what you eat.

Answer 6

Try washing it every 'other' day using a shampoo for 'dry' hair.

Answer 7

Washing your hair every day removes its natural oils, causing your hair to become greasy! You should wash it every other day. Use a small amount of conditioner (size if a dime). Sprinkling baby powder in your hair makes your hair look 2x better when greasy. And if you have frizz problems, run a dryer sheet through your hair, it works wonders!

Answer 8

try washing it every other day and though it will seem to get horrible and greasy at first, it should start to improve and you'll be able to go longer without washing it.

one of my friends always rubs a bit of talcum powder on her roots if they look greasy.

Answer 9

I have greasy hair and my hairdresser told me to put the shampoo in my hair wen its dry. Also dont wash your hair so often. If that doesnt work ask your hairdresser what is the best shampoo to use coz that makes a differance.

Answer 10

It depends on different things:-

Firstly how old are you? If you are in your early teens, everything will be greasy, and it doesn't matter too much about washing your hair everyday.

Do you straighten your hair everyday? Because this can cause more grease, same as playing or excessivly touching it.

Also your shampoo may be too strong, because if your shampoo strips your hair of all it's natural oils, your hair will try and replensh it. Try a mild shampoo such as Johnson baby shampoo, and wash every other day.

If your hair is still greasy and you dont want to wash your hair and you have fair hair, dab a little talcum powder on your hair.

Good luck.

Answer 13

I looked on the internet and i found:

Washing your hair too frequently can make greasiness worse.

Hair can get greasy due to puberty.

Perspiration can cause grease

Greasiness can be worse in shorter hair.

If you dont wash your hair enough their can be a build up of grease.

The first point and the last point seem to contradict themselves!!

Well it seems to me use anti grease shampoo (most brands make a version) and odd as it sounds if i cant get to shampoo i 'wash' my hair with talc to refresh it. Maybe the talc would soak up excess grease? just remember dont use too much just a light dusting on the scalp. Plus I dont know if this will combat greasiness ...i use it to refresh my hair. Hope i helped!

Answer 14

Hi it could be the shampoo and conditoner you are using, I find if I use certain types of shampoo and condioners they make my hair greasy, if you are using conditoner you dont need to use it on the roots of your hair just the ends etc as your hair has too much moisturiser and oils in it at the time. I found that using a balancing shampoo and is better for my hair I used one for normal hair even thought my hair is dry and damaged but if I use anything stronger it makes my hair worse.

Also limit the use of hair products as I find the more products I use on my hair the greasier my hair gets, I dont use hardly anything anymore on my hair only a smoothing milk and heat protection spray and if helps alot not to use to much of either, I used to use hair mousse and that was the main culprit of greasy hair. Sometime you will have to wash your hair every other day rather than everyday but you will need to work out what is causing the greasyness.  

Answer 15

Answer 24

Hiya,

i had exactly the same problem and found it horrible.

try not to wash your hair every day because this will then strip your hair from it's natural oils and will produce more grease and will then be much more greasier. Try to wash your hair less and less to get it used to the air around you and you'll then find that you can wash it about every five days and it'll still look clean but in between days when it gets greasy just out a little sprinkle on talc on the roots and massage in with your finger tips!

  Hope i helped! x.
