If you or someone you know is plagued with oily hair, then you need not fret. You can use several home remedies. The good news is these remedies come from your own kitchen.

    Why You Have Oily Hair

  1. Oily hair is a buildup on the hair follicles and is often hereditary. You can also have a problem with oily hair due to your age or your lifestyle.
  2. Remedy One

  3. After you have washed your hair, rinse with apple cider vinegar, which will help with the removal of all chemicals and oils from your hair.
  4. Remedy Two

  5. Squeeze some fresh lemons and apply the lemon juice to your scalp twice a week when washing your hair.
  6. Remedy Three

  7. Take a can of beer and let it go flat, then wash your hair as you normally would with the flat beer. Rinse with water and then towel dry your hair.
  8. Considerations

  9. Do not use a conditioner or a shampoo with a conditioner in it. Using conditioner will only make your hair oilier.
  10. Warning

  11. Lye soap and bath soap is often used to remove oil from the hair, but it often causes an even bigger problem in the end. By using the soaps they will make your hair very dry, which in turn can cause breakage and damage.
