Shampoo regularly
If your hair is oily it’s essential to keep it clean but that doesn’t mean that you have to shampoo your hair daily. The myth that it should be washed every day is a big misconception – on the contrary it can cause it to become even oilier as your sebaceous glands will produce more oil. So don’t shampoo every day. Wash your hair twice a week. Look for a shampoo designed for oily hair – it should be mild and see-through formula as it will clean away oil better. Look for a shampoo with amino acids, natural cleansing agents / vinegar, lemon juice/. The shampoo must cleanse your hair from the oils and the impurities, and at the same time it must be appropriate for a daily use.Always rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Apply a conditioner
Although applying a conditioner isn’t a must for those people with oily hair there are some conditioners designed especially for oily hair that may help you. Look for a product that containing the least amount of oils. It should be oil-free and a light conditioner. Apply the conditioner only to the ends of the hair, not to the roots and scalp. It will coat the hair shaft with a thin film that smooths down the roughened cells and fills in the uneven surface
Do a deep-conditioning-treatment
Give yourself a deep-conditioning treatment once a mouth done by a professional. This will help replenish lost moisture and keep locks shiny and resilient.
