What are the Remedies for Oily Hair?
Making the necessary dietary changes is one of the most effective remedies for oily hair. Eating plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit and drinking 8 glasses of water everyday is not only good for hair it is great for overall health too. Fast foods, greasy foods and dairy fats are best reduced or avoided altogether. A mild, oil-free shampoo for oily or greasy hair helps control secretions. Shampoos with Zinc PCA have been found to be the most effective. Zinc PCA regulates the sebaceous glands reducing oil deposits. Do not use harsh shampoos in an attempt to get rid of oil from the hair as harsh shampoos can strip the hair of vital nutrients and moisture, causing it severe damage. When shampooing, work the lather in gently and thoroughly rinse off till the hair is completely free of all soap residue. Avoid rubbing the scalp vigorously when shampooing as this again can lead to an overproduction of sebum.
