If you have oily hair, you probably have your favorite hairstyles to hide the damage when you’re a little past the limit of the next shampoo. While it is essential to use the right amount of shampoo to limit this phenomenon, there are also small techniques that we all know more or less to cheat a little, whether by using dry shampoo, micellar water, or even glycolic acid. But fans of natural methods also find what they’re looking for: clay (green or white) like cider vinegar are known to prevent hair from getting greasy too quickly. Less known, cornstarch also works miracles.
On social networks, hairdresser Tom Smith regularly reveals his advice for taking care of your hair. He notably warned against an everyday gesture that we don’t necessarily think about and which can lead to hair loss, and this lies in the way in which we remove our elastic. But he also deciphers the trends of the moment, whether it is to adopt the right bangs according to the shape of your face or to talk about the latest fashionable cut.
How to space out your shampoos to no longer have greasy hair? A hairdresser’s simple and surprising tip
On one of his latest TikTok videos, he delivers a new tip, and it is rather surprising. This is a technique to keep hair clean for longer and prevent it from getting greasy too quickly. For this, he uses dry shampoo. So far, nothing very original. But where Tom Smith surprises us is that he puts it on clean hair, as a preventative measure. He recommends turning to a product with a light, detoxifying formula rich in antioxidants. He advises grabbing your dry shampoo as soon as you’ve washed your hair and finished drying it and spraying it lightly on the areas that tend to grease the most quickly. An amazing new way to use dry shampoo that could change our lives.

Oily scalp: when and how se wash the hair When Are they fat?
The solution to avoid greasy hair? Space out shampoos as much as possible. On its website, Franck Provost hair salons recommend washing once or twice a week maximum. To slow down the secretion of sebum, they advise us to wash the hair with lukewarm water and finish with a jet of cool water to tighten the scales at the end of shampooing. Clay pre-shampoo masks and apple cider vinegar can also help you rebalance the pH of the scalp.
For what my shampoo makes greasy hair?
Once you have finished shampooing, some people may have the feeling that their hair is still soaked with treatment residue. This phenomenon tends to weigh down our hair and make it greasy or even sticky. Several factors can cause this: poor washing with an inadequate quantity of shampoo (the equivalent of a 50 cent coin is sufficient), poor rinsing, the application of overly nourishing hair products or even transition period towards natural and silicone-free products. Indeed, when you start using more natural products, residues of silicones and other chemical substances may gradually be eliminated and create a feeling of sticky hair. The duration of this transition period may vary from one head of hair to another.
