Mild shampooA dry scalp can become irritated by harsh shampoos. It's best to use a mild shampoo and wash the hair every day to rid it of the oil buildup. When using shampoo, you should try to avoid scrubbing the scalp and instead concentrate the shampoo away from the scalp and on the hair itself. After you shampoo, you should rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water, taking care to get all of the shampoo out. Soap residue left on the hair can make oily hair worse. A vinegar rinse with one part vinegar and four parts water can also help remove the oil from your hair. The vinegar can dry out the scalp, so do not get it on the scalp. If your hair is extremely oily, it is best to not use conditioner or use conditioner only on the ends of your hair. -
Healthy dietA healthy diet can help restore the balance of your hair and scalp. Water keeps your hair soft and supple, so it's good to stay hydrated. A diet rich in protein will help strengthen your hair and prevent split ends and breakage. Eat foods that are high in iron. Iron carries oxygen in the body, and lack of iron will starve the hair of the oxygen that it needs to be healthy. Zinc and copper can help guard against hair loss and maintain the vibrant color of your hair. Vitamin C found in many fruits and vegetables is also very important to ensure your hair remains healthy and encourage growth. -
YogaLearn to relax. Exercise is a good way to promote balance in your body and eliminates stress. Stress produces androgens, and androgens stimulate oil production by the skin. The more stressed you become, the oilier your hair will be. Try relaxation methods such as meditation and yoga. Both can provide stress relief, which promotes healthy hair.
