How to get rid of oily hair

Struggling with oily hair? You are not alone. There’s nothing more annoying than waking up the day after a long and refreshing shower only to discover that your hair is still super greasy. Oily hair can be especially annoying during the Australian summer, too.

However, there are plenty of ways to get rid of oily hair. Continue reading to learn more about the causes of oily hair, what products to use to stop oily hair and how to prevent oily hair in the future.

Why is my hair oily?

Before you learn how to combat oily hair, you first need to know why your hair is producing so much oil in the first place.

Firstly, it’s important to remember that it is perfectly natural for your hair to produce oils, and it’s actually a very important part of healthy hair. Oils are made by the sebaceous gland, which produces sebum, which is a lubricating oil. They are found all over your body and help your body function properly.

However, there is some bad news. Some people have overactive sebaceous glands, which can lead to overly oily hair and can be incredibly annoying to deal with. Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can deal with extra oily hair.

RY healthy hair tip

When you have oily hair, it can be really tempting to constantly touch it and play with it. If you always do this, you need to stop right away! Your hands touch so many things a day that if you put them back in your hair, you are only destined to make it oilier. If you struggle to keep your hands away from your hair, make sure you tie it up regularly so you stop playing with it.
