How to Cure Oily Hair

Oily hair can have many causes. Diet, hair products or genetics can all play a role in your hair's texture. Practice the proper maintenance on your hair and you will see results within a week's time. Stay consistent and your results will be long-lasting, leaving your hair soft and healthy, as well as less oily.

Things You'll Need

• White vinegar PH balanced shampoo Baking soda

Instructions

1. Rinse your hair with white vinegar. Before you shampoo, rinse the white vinegar through your hair. This will extract any residue that is left over in your hair from products. Let the vinegar sit in your hair for about 15 minutes. Rinse the vinegar from your hair and shampoo like normal.

2. Choose the right shampoo. It's best to use an all-natural shampoo that doesn't contain any silicones. Silicones build up in your hair each time you shampoo and can promote oily hair. There are also pH balancing shampoos that are helpful in balancing your scalp's oils. In addition, baby shampoo is a great pH balancing shampoo.

3. It's best to wash your hair at least every other day to avoid oils from building up in the first place. Refrain from using any conditioner.

4. Apply baking soda to your hair. While your hair is dry, sprinkle small amounts of baking soda to your roots. Brush through your hair to allow the baking soda to be evenly distributed and to soak up any oils. Continue brushing through your hair until the baking soda is out of sight. Do this as often as necessary for immediate relief.

5. Avoid fatty foods as well as processed foods. These foods promote oily skin and hair. Eat plenty of green vegetables. If you stick to healthful eating, you should notice natural differences in your hair's texture within a week.
