To wash or not to wash? What helps against greasy hair?

Greasy hair and a well-groomed appearance do not harmonize at all. But what can you do if you suffer from greasy hair? Washing is not the solution, as it has been proven that hair and scalp become greasier the more often they are washed. Washing removes natural oils from the hair. The body tries to fight this by stimulating oil production in the scalp - a vicious circle, as you can see. But what helps against oily hair? Wash it? Not washing at all? With shampoo or without?

Six home remedies that help against oily hair

#1 A healthy diet

Avoid ready-made products and sugar.

#2 Don't wash your hair too warm

Heat stimulates sebum production, so it's better to wash with warm water.

#3 Hair masks made from healing clay

Mix 10 tablespoons of healing clay with 200 ml of water and apply to the scalp. Leave on for about 10-20 minutes and then rinse well.

#4 Use baby shampoo

Baby shampoo is particularly kind to the skin and contains no additives.

#5 Do not brush too often

When brushing, the grease is distributed from the roots to the lengths.

#6 Avoid headgear

The warm atmosphere under hats and caps promotes sebum production.
