What causes greasy hair?
There are a bunch of reasons you might be experiencing greasy hair. Your environment can be a large contributor. If you live in a humid climate or a polluted climate, your scalp might produce more sebum, leading to oily hair. This can also happen with a change in hormones or from a diet high in sugar and fats.
Your hair might also be greasy from over or under washing it. If you’re someone who loves the gym but hates to deal with a daily hair care routine, putting your sweaty locks up into a ponytail might actually be causing an excess of oil production, buildup, and an oily scalp. And if you’re over washing your hair, you may be stripping it of its natural oil, causing the scalp to overcompensate with sebum.
Luckily, there are a ton of hair products that help treat and prevent greasy hair.
How can I fix my greasy hair?
The fastest way to fix greasy hair is by establishing a hair care routine that clarifies the scalp, removing excess oil without stripping it (and your hair follicle) of helpful natural oil that results in healthy hair.
