Some holistic hair and beauty experts believe that homeopathic remedies taken by mouth can actually help minimize greasy hair conditions. The homeopathic remedy Bryonia taken in a remedy of 30c is thought to help in some cases.
Other experts believe greasiness is associated with tight sensation in the scalp area which may feel sweaty or clammy.
1. For extra oil removal, leave shampoo on the scalp area to soak in and remove more oil before rinsing.
2. Avoid any vigorous rubbing, massaging or manipulation of the oily scalp areas. This will only stimulate the sebaceous glands further and cause more sebum to be produced.
3. If you enjoy full body massages, ask the massage therapist to avoid massaging your head and/or scalp areas.
4. Be gentle when shampooing hair. Pat shampoo into the scalp area with pads of the fingertips. Be careful to avoid scratching the scalp. Rinse suds completely.
5. Washing hair more often does not cause hair to become greasier. This is an old wives tale.
6. Clay based masks are also very good for cleansing the hair.
7. Wear your hair in easy-to-manage, well cut styles.
8. Chemicals such as hair color, highlights and waving can help as it lifts the tresses slightly away from the scalp, making it less easy for the sebum to easily travel up the hair shaft.
Keep astringent skin care products handy with cotton balls. Dab astringent on cotton balls and then lightly blot the scalp areas where grease is a problem.
Avoid allowing astringent to overflow to rest of the hair since astringents can dry out tresses.
If you worry about using full strength shampoo, consider using diluted formulas or switch to herbal formulations that include seaweed or rosemary. You may also try a final rinse consisting of lemon or vinegar.
