Hi Friends!! I know how difficult it is to manage oily hair. I am a victim myself, even in coldest days I have to shampoo my hair. Oily hair is a due to secretion of sebum which creates a coating of oil on the scalp. It gives a greasy look to the hair and it feels dirty even though washed regularly. It also makes the roots weak. The causes can be many like heredity, hormonal fluctuation, excess consumption of oily food. The symptoms have to be taken seriously as oily hair means weak roots and progressive thinning of hair.The excessive sebum blocks the follicles of the hair and disturbs the blood circulation. Also the sticky surface provides bacteria & fungi feed to grow. Some easily available remedies for oily hair:
Eggs: Take an egg mix it well. Add a few drops of lemon juice, this will remove the bad smell. Apply the mix on your wet scalp. Let it stay for half an hour. Rinse it well and then wash it with mild shampoo. Use this therapy 2 times a week to get rid of oily hair.
Organic Vinegar: Take 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar and mix it in a mug of water. Rinse your hair with this mixture and let it stay for 5 min. Wash off the mixture well, this would take away the excess oil from the hair. Try this 2-3 times a week, it will give you help in managing your oily hair.
