Oily Hair After Childbirth

I just had a baby but never dyed my hair during pregnancy. I decided to dye it after 3 weeks of giving birth. My new growth is growing in and after coloring my hair it has become super oily. What do I do?

***********

Your hormones fluctuate a lot after giving birth to a child, which is probably causing your hair to be excessively oily. Don't worry though. After your hormones calm down (which could take some time), your sebaceous glands should stop producing excess oils and your hair should return to normal. Hair color will not cause your hair to become oily.

In the meantime, you can use shampoos for oily hair to help control the oil.

Hint: Shampooing your hair more often won't help cut down on your hair's oiliness. In fact, shampooing more often will stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more oils.

Oily Hair – Such a Drag!
