Sudden Oily Hair
by Kristen
All of a sudden it got really dry and like old looking. I got a haircut, and it looked great for about a day, then it just got really greasy! Now it gets greasy after I am finished styling my hair. I tried changing shampoos, even using Head and Shoulders for oily hair. I am just starting to use a tea tree oil shampoo that was recommended to me by a hairdresser at ULTA. I am desperate for help to get my hair back to normal. I don't use any hair products, except for the past few days, a dry shampoo to help the oil, but it doesn't help. It makes my hair staticy and then goes back to greasy within minutes. I beg for some help! I am going to make a hair appointment for another hair trim, but I am at a dead end and need help. ************** It would be interesting to know your age. It sounds like you've got a case of overactive hormones. Unfortunately, until they calm down, you'll have to deal with your oily hair. Sometimes, overactive sebaceous glands are a sign of dry scalp. Products for oily hair deplete available oils on your scalp, and that might signal your sebaceous glands to produce more oils. If you see signs of a dry scalp, (light flaking, tightness, or just dryness) try products for dry hair or dry scalp instead. You must give the products you try a chance to work though. Using them once or twice isn't going to give you any concrete answers. You must use them at least a week or longer to know if they're effective. |
