Greasy hair, but why?
Oily hair is caused by a disruption of the sebaceous glands, responsible for the secretion of sebum. A natural fatty substance, sebum lubricates the hair and protects it against pollution. When it is produced in excess, it becomes visible in the hair and on the skin.
This oily scalp trend concerns one in four women, the hair is shiny, heavy, stuck to the scalp the day after shampooing.
This phenomenon can have genetic origins but stress, nervousness, an unbalanced diet or one rich in saturated fat, a period of great fatigue, unsuitable shampoos, the excessive use of chemical dyes can accentuate the problem.
Whether you have curly or non-curly hair, thin or thick, it is therefore important to determine your oily hair type. This will help you to better maintain your hair …

Mix 2 drops of thyme or rosemary essential oil (plants with astringent properties) with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon. The goal: to tighten the scales of the hair. Dilute this mixture in a liter of mineral or spring water and rinse your hair with it.
7. How to style oily hair?
Never use a metal comb on wet hair, instead take a plastic comb. The teeth should be round and smooth so as not to injure the scales of dry hair. Forget about combs and brushes, with fine and tight teeth, which will activate the production of sebum. Avoid styling gels which make hair dull and greasy, forget about oils, which make the hair shine, but weigh it down.

8. Oily roots, dry ends, it can be treated!
Due to strong dyes, perms, bleaching, or drying, the hair is not smooth enough to allow the sebum to slide down the hair.
To treat dry hair without risking an overproduction of sebum:
- Apply an absorbent clay mask only to the roots, not the lengths!
- Wash it all off with a purifying shampoo.
- Nourish lengths and ends with moisturizing oils and masks
- Ban scalp massage, because the more you activate blood circulation, the more sebum rises to the surface of the scalp.
