If you are one of those who have an oily scalp and, even if you wash it frequently, in less than a day it already seems to give the sensation of dirty hair, we have the solution so that your hair does not lose that feeling of freshness so quickly. We have turned to Abbey Yung, a trichologist especially known online for sharing her tips to improve the health of our hair. The expert has given us tips to prevent our hair from getting dirty so quickly and we have taken note of all of them.
Adjust the washing frequency
Spacing washes too much is not always the best strategy to keep hair clean. As the expert explains, “the longer you go between washes and the greater the amount of oils you accumulate, the more difficult it will be to eliminate them when you do, especially if you are using shampoos that are too mild.” Additionally, insist on avoiding pre-shampoos in your routine because they are products that tend to be loaded with oils.
Includes a deep cleansing shampoo
There is no correct frequency to wash your hair, when your roots start to get oily, that is when you should do it. The expert insists: “Don't be afraid to use a shampoo daily if you need to; adding deep cleansing shampoos has made a tremendous difference in the time it takes for my hair to look greasy between washes.” And you can opt for a milder shampoo for everyday use and once a week use another detox.
Exfoliates the scalp
Oily scalps are going to love this step and occasionally resorting to products formulated with exfoliating acids, such as salicylic or mandelic, is a must for deep cleaning. What these ingredients do is help remove dead cells and debris that accumulate on the scalp, in addition to avoiding excess oil.
Don't leave the roots wet for hours
It is a very common mistake to think that, if we avoid heat tools such as the dryer, our hair will be healthier. Well, it turns out that this is not the case, because leaving the hair root wet for hours waiting for it to air dry, especially now in winter when it takes much longer, what it does is encourage the accumulation of moisture and generate excess sebum. The expert explains: “When you let your hair air dry, it tends to look greasy faster than when you use a blow dryer, which also helps lift the roots.”
