How to look after Greasy Hair

Limp, oily strands of hair are more than just unbecoming.  Greasy hair is very often a  problem that results as a natural buildup of scalp oil, or sebum.  All scalps need to produce a little bit of oil, which keeps hair moisturized and leads to healthy growth.  However, greasy hair strands attract more environmental dirt (even dead skin cells) more than any other type of “problem hair”.  If left unshampooed, the slippery sebum (a product of hair's sebaceous glands) begin to coat the entire length of hair, causing each strand to separate.  Hair weighted down by excess dirt and oil can become nearly as uncontrollable as a dried-out, wild and frizzy mane, not to mention, its not the most attractive hair do going around! 2969
