War on greasy hair: Our best tips to put an end to it!

Oily hair is a perennial challenge for many people. The question that comes up most often is: "Help, I have greasy hair... what should I do?" I'm talking about a real fat trend here. When you wash your hair every 5 days, it is not yet considered oily. The norm is to wash them approximately every 3 days. Several factors can contribute to this oily tendency, such as using the wrong products for your hair type, poor diet, hormonal imbalances, or even certain medications, to name a few. If your hair separates into strands, if you wash it in the morning and it is already oily again in the evening, if it is thin and has difficulty growing... it is time to act. Oh, I forgot to mention that excess oil is one of the main causes of thinning hair aka hair loss.

The basis of success: your shampoo!

We've often told you, the base is your shampoo, no matter your hair type. Some girls have a so-called "normal" tendency, but use a shampoo that is too moisturizing or too heavy for their real needs. In these cases, the problem will be quickly resolved... because they don't really have one! If we are talking about real "greasyness" (a term of our own) and it invades your daily life, we advise you to opt for a clarifying shampoo designed for this type of hair. It will clean deeply to remove excess sebum and product build-up.

Oily scalp, but dry lengths?

I can already hear you saying, “Well, but my ends are dry/discolored/lacking shine!” It is with your conditioner that you will remedy all this. You need to take a conditioner suitable for your hair type.

Over the last few years, several ranges have developed products suitable for oily scalps, but which still allow you to hydrate your lengths without necessarily weighing them down.

Several options are available to you. We advise you to use a leave-in conditioner after getting out of the shower or a light conditioner.

To all those who have an oily tendency, whether minimal or more intense, we recommend the Rhythm of the Rain detoxifying mask! It’s pure magic in a bottle! It is a mask to be applied from roots to ends, it is important to leave it on for a good 15 to 20 minutes so that you can see its effect. We recommend using it once a week.

A miracle product

You still can't get over it? I advise you to exfoliate your scalp at least twice a week. The first few times it may seem worse, because the glands are stimulated. After a while, it will become more regular and the glands in your scalp will secrete less sebum.

An important ally

Dry shampoo, your new best friend and everyday ally. It will help you space out your days even further between washes. A GOOD dry shampoo, you can use it 3-4 consecutive days without problem. There is the traditional one based on clay or its derivatives. Do you have an itchy or sensitive scalp? There is Spiritualized which acts like micellar water. You have to dry it, it gives volume and your scalp will thank you.

Some quick tips

A final rinse with cold water is essential.
Remove excess water with a towel before drying and dry with lukewarm air.
Sleeping with wet hair is a NO, stop it right now! ALWAYS shampoo twice.

There are many little tips that you can put into practice on a daily basis to improve your "fatness". However, it is essential to combine them and be patient in order to see the results. They will not be instantaneous, we must move forward one day at a time.
