My hair usually gets greasy if I skip a day washing. I normally don't use conditioner because it always makes my hair look greasy. I only use shampoo.But the past few days even though I wash my hair it looks sooo oily!! Please help, give me any tips or anything I can do to reduce the oiliness! Shampoos, hair masks etc.

Yes dry shampoo in between washes and try using a deep cleansing shampoo it will strip some of that excess oil in your hair

Maybe try, if you've got some time to not have to look perfect, actually try to go a few days without shampooing.


Just the same way your skin will overproduce oil if you leave it without moisture, your scalp can do the same. It could be getting oily just because you're shampooing very frequently. Brush thoroughly every day with a natural boar bristle brush to distribute oils evenly.


I know this might sound gross, and I'm not saying it will work for you but I've seen it work for others and it worked for me. Hope this helps :)

Does your hair get oily around the roots or just everywhere? Because conditioner isn't known to make hair oily, instead just to keep it healthy. So I would recommend using conditioner but you're only supposed to apply it to the bottom half of your head because your ends need it more than the roots! :)

Sometimes if you don't use conditioner, which helps with natural oils, your scalp gets quite dry and then it compenaates by making lots more oil. maybe thats what's happening for you? xx
