Oily hair is a common hair disorder in which the hair needs regular cleansing ( one to two times a day) and appear greasy if left for a while. there is a misconception about oily hair which is that it is caused by an oily scalp. Although it might be true in certain cases but usually the exact opposite true. Mostly a dry scalp is responsible for causing the the oil glands in the scalp to produce more oil, and once on the scalp, this excess oil transfers to the hair.

Therefore, to treat oily hair, one of the best things to do is focus on the dry scalp.

The following are some of the tips that will help you manage and care for oily hair:

Using a mild shampoo or shampoo that is specifically made for oily hair should be used.

Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water, because hot water might damage
your hair and left over shampoo can also cause damage.

Applying hair oil on the scalp can help your scalp become smoother but thoroughly wash
the hair after after some time.

Avoid using conditioners, hair gloss or gels.

Don’t brush hair frequently, because brushing oily hair can actually cause the scalp
to produce more oil

The above tips can help your hair become normal but the key is for you to follow these steps for a period of time. do not expect magical results in days as it will do you no good.
