Tips for Oily Hair
After years of dealing with hair that gets oily in what seems like 12 hours post wash, I finally found products that work well without drying out my ends & causing frizz.
Tips:
- I wash my hair 3 times a week; one wash uses the detox shampoo and tea tree, all other washes I double shampoo with just the tea tree
- Apply conditioner & frizz cream to only the ends; do this before skincare to avoid transferring facial products into hair
- Only apply a small amount of moisturizer to the forehead area avoiding hairline as much as possible
For skin care, I live in a part of the world that is very dry and cold for most of the year, so it was important for me to find products that combat acne and scarring without drying me out. Some days I will add more products into my routine, but those shown are my non negotiables. I wash my face daily with a mild face cleanser when I don’t use the facial scrub.

Dealing with oily hair can be frustrating, but understanding your hair type and choosing the right products is crucial. Start by identifying the causes of your oily hair. Factors such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, and even diet can impact oil production. Incorporating specialized products like detoxifying shampoos and lightweight conditioners can significantly improve your hair's texture and manageability. Another effective strategy is adjusting your washing frequency. For most people, washing 2-3 times a week can help maintain scalp balance without stripping essential oils. When washing, use lukewarm water instead of hot, as hot water can stimulate more oil production. Consider using dry shampoo on non-wash days to absorb excess oil and maintain volume. Additionally, be mindful of styling products, as heavy products can weigh your hair down and contribute to greasiness. Opt for oil-free skincare routines to limit transfer to the hairline, and ensure your hair products are labeled as non-comedogenic. With a thoughtful approach to hair care, you can enjoy healthier, fresher-looking hair every day.
