Greasy hair!...

[ladypink06]

Recently my hairs started becoming really greasy, just the frist inch or so from the roots.. i wash my hair and even after i've blow dried it it tends to look a bit shiny, so by the end of the day u can imagine it looks a bit worse! i find myslf washing my hair daily now, wheras i used to be able to do it every other day. ANy idea what causes this and how i can prevent it?! x

do you touch it alot? that causes greasy hair

are you using shampoos like, pantene, dove, fructis? these all contain silicone that after a while adds a 'build up' to the hair making it limp, lifeless and greasy. Switch to Nuetrogena shampoo & conditioiner (only condition the ends) and rinse your hair in cooler water this closes the pores on your scalp.

hobo, no i dont touch it at all, it looks and feels greasy after ive washed and blow dried it!!

angel, i have been useing fructis for quite a while, i'll try changing to someting else, and hopefully that'll help! thanks

I was told to change my shampoo regularly because my hair is thick and becomes almost immune to shampoos i.e. after a month or so of using the same shampoo my hair starts becoming limp.

However, I once tried Fructis and from the first wash I found it to make my hair feel sticky at the roots and greasy.

Ive had the same problem !

I now use Herbal Essences 'cornflower, aloe vera and cherry bark' its for greasy roots/dry ends - blue bottle, really good, smells lovely to !!
