There is nothing like oily hair to make us feel down and without self-esteem and this is one of the most common and difficult to treat hair problems, which affects more than 35% of Portuguese women .
Capillary oil is characterized by excess sebum, which clogs the pores of the scalp, preventing the roots of the hair from being nourished and in good health. This excess sebum causes dirt in the hair, making it shiny and greasy, which can be quite annoying.
This problem can also be responsible for the development of dandruff, itchiness and even hair loss.
But, it is important to know how to distinguish poorly washed hair from oily hair.
How to know if your hair is really oily?
Many people have a genetic predisposition to excessive sebum production. And the time of year can also be a conditioning factor, since in summer, the scalp tends to sweat more and consequently appear more oily.
Some signs that your hair is really oily:
- Feeling of greasy hair from root to tip;
- Dirty feeling one day after washing;
- Heavy appearance;
- Dandruff outbreak;
- Itch.
What to do to take care of oily hair?
Oily hair requires specific treatments, and therefore, it is important to create a care routine suitable for this type of hair. These are some tips you should follow for the correct care of oily hair:
-
Avoid touching the hair.
If your hair is oily, find a way to not be constantly tempted to touch it with your hands.

Apply conditioner, leave-in and mask only to the ends of the hair.
Applying these products directly to the root of the scalp helps in the development of more oil, since they are more hydrating products and that by themselves already have oils in their constitution.
-
Do not abuse hot water when washing your hair.
Hot water stimulates the sebaceous glands, but cold water is not recommended either, because not only does it not clean the hair in depth, but it is also responsible for drying out the skin, which causes our body to produce more oil to protect itself. . Therefore, use warm water in the bath to more easily remove oil and residue from hair products.
-
Do not excessively rub your hair.
Massaging the scalp too hard can stimulate the sebaceous gland and consequently cause it to produce more sebum.
-
The more washes, the more oil your hair will produce…
Cleaning is essential, but washing your hair every day is no solution! You really need to use the right products, preferably with a neutral pH, and consequently wash your hair less often.
