Home Remedies for Oily Hair
27 July 2009
Oily hair can be the result of a diet high in fat. Hair‘s sebaceous glands that are fed mostly fried foods, red meat, and dairy products are going to over produce oil. This results in greasy hair. The first thing to do is to attack the problem from the inside and cut the fat intake. You can then try the following tricks.
Lemon rinse – Squeeze the juice of two lemons in two cups of distilled water and put it in a container (those used for mustard and ketchup). After washing the hair with shampoo, dry it with a towel, and apply the solution to the hair massaging the scalp. Leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse.
Shave grass – Boil a cup of distilled water. Put two tablespoons of dried shavegrass leaves in a glass container. Add distilled water and let stand for 15 minutes. Strain and put in a bottle like the one in the previous recipe and use the same way as the lemon rinse.
Beer rinse – After washing hair with shampoo give your hair a final rinse with beer and then water.
Egg yolk - Mix two egg yolks with a few drops of lemon. Apply to wet hair and leave for a few minutes. Rinse.
Vinegar rinse – Dilute vinegar in water and apply to hair as a final rinse after shampoo.
Witch hazel - Make a mixture of equal parts witch hazel and mouth wash and apply to the scalp with a cotton ball after showering.
More tips:
- Leave the shampoo on for a few extra minutes
- Keep your brush or comb clean
- Comb your hair instead of brushing
- Do not dry hair with the super-hot air because it activates the sebaceous glands.
- Do not use hats or tight bands
