Here you go again, another twenty dollars spent this week on some fancy smell good shampoo in a pretty bottle.
You are excited to try it out but you end up with the same result.
A head full of shining...
Um...
Oil.
Not at all what you were aiming for.
Forget the pretty packaging and try some oily hair shampoo.
A fair amount of oil is necessary but you don't want too much.
Oil comes from sebum that is produced by the sebaceous glands at the bottom of the hair shafts.
Sometimes they work more than they should and provide too much oil.
This will lead to greasy, weightless hair.
It is important to know that certain factors can and will effect your hair.
The weather around you will play a role.
Certain medications such as birth-control and menstrual related medicines can tend to make your hair oilier than usual.
Also, if mama or daddy had oily hair it might be passed along to you.
You can help combat this problem by choosing a good oily hair shampoo.
These are sometimes referred to as clarifying.
They will usually have a lot more cleaning detergents in them than your normal hair shampoo and they will leave out all the extra conditioners.
You don't need the conditioners because you have your fair share already from the oil.
Use your oily hair shampoo along with some little daily changes to get your hair looking and feeling healthy.
Lay off on extra conditioning, one or two times a week should suffice.
Try not to over brush your hair, this spreads the oil down your hair.
You might also try changing your pillowcase more often than usual, because the oil can be left on the material.
You don't have control over everything, however, like if you have straight hair then you will probably be able to see the oil more so than if your hair was curly.
Thin hair will show more than full hair and again heredity might have just decided to give you an abundance of oil.
Don't give up though, there is hope.
With a little research, patience and time you can find the perfect oily hair shampoo that is right for your hair.
You will save your self-esteem as well as the money you have been throwing away on all the new products.
When you find the right shampoo it can work wonders on your crowning glory.
You will shine but not too much!
