Best Hack for Oily Scalp and Hair that doesn’t hold Curling Irons
Let’s get into the Hack straight away and after that, I will tell you the struggles of my own greasy hair. In this post, I am talking as a Professional and from my own experience.
1. First, wash your hair. Almost all the good brands have products for Oily Scalp in their collection.
I have tried a lot of them, although they do help a little bit, I have never found a product that was good enough to get me the results I am looking for.
So for this hack, just use any shampoo and conditioner you like.
2. Right after you have washed and condition your hair when it is still wet make your hair damp dry with a towel.
3. Now get yourself a dry shampoo product. Yes now when your hair is clean as crisp use dry shampoo, this is the Hack, bare with me and try it out.
As a professional I have a sponsor for salon hair products, these products are for professionals and therefore of better quality, their products almost always contain ingredients that care for the hair too.
For dry shampoo (and hairsprays) I have found that this is actually is a downside. Get a cheap, chemical drugstore dry shampoo, we don’t need nursing ingredients in our dry shampoo.
I use Batiste Dry Shampoo one myself.
Now on a damp scalp spray your cheap dry shampoo, careful that you don’t use too much, you have to test this a little bit, it will differ for everyone, depending on the thickness of your hair, not too much, just enough.
4. Now dry your hair as you are used to, air-dry or blow-dry.
When your hair is completely dry, spray your scalp again with dry shampoo, again not too much.
If you use too much product on your clean hair it gets too “dirty” from the product, but you do have to feel the effects of the dry shampoo on your scalp, the roots, and a little bit on the length of your hair.
Because there is product on the roots and a little on the length of your hair it will hold a straightening/curling iron or a hot roller set much better as a side-effect.
Yay now you have hair that gets less oily because there already is dry shampoo on your scalp whenever your scalp starts to produce sebum and it will also hold your styling methods better than before.
It may sound weird to use dry shampoo when your hair is already clean.
But think about it, if you have an oily scalp you know that the next day you have washed your hair your scalp is already oily, meaning you have high production of sebum on your scalp.
You are slowing this process by treating the sebum before your scalp has the chance to do what it normally does, oiling up your scalp, ruining your hairstyle. Go on and try this, it really works!
My experience with Oily Scalp
I have had Oily Scalp and greasy hair since I can remember.
When I hit puberty I (magically) have gotten curls.
Oily Scalp and greasy hair when you have curls is not a bad thing, I even put some more baby oil in my hair to enhance my curls, so it was working pretty well for me at that point.
Whenever I started my hairdresser’s education combined with working in a hair salon I started styling my own hair with rollers, blow-drying, and irons, etc.
I had to wash and style my hair every single day, but having thick, well-to-handle hair it was not such a big problem for me being a hairdresser.
I used rollers for 15 years every single day and my thick luscious hair held the roller curls all day long.
My hair has always been one of my best features, flipping my hair to the sides all day became a bit of my thing.
In Indonesian culture they say:
Hair is a Woman’s Jewel
I had my mother tell me this all my aunty’s and especially my grandfather’s girlfriend (my grandmother passed away before I was born)
She had long, black, shining hair, very well taken care of. My mother still uses hot rollers to this day.
I was blessed with beautiful, thick, black hair and I knew exactly what to do with it.
When I moved to live on the Caribean island of Curacao, I started to wear my natural curls again.
Styling your hair in a humid climate has no use, so I proudly wore my hair curled, and again it was working very well for me.
Pregnancy can totally change your hair structure
When I became pregnant all my curls were gone, and because I got my curls in puberty I now know for sure hormones cause my hair to change.
Some women are lucky and get their normal hair back after the pregnancy. My daughter is almost 7 now and my hair has never been as straight as it is now, also at the end of the day that I have washed my hair it already is greasy and oily.
If I curl my hair with the hottest curl iron it doesn’t hold whatsoever. By the time I curled all my hair, it has already collapsed. So I have been wearing my hair up in a messy bun ever since.
I went from a “Great-Hair-Girl” to a “Messy-Bun-Girl” I miss having good hair so I recently have been experimenting with all kinds of products resulting in this fantastic Hack.
If I want a fabulous hair day, I can, and just the idea of that makes me happier. I don’t want to wash my hair every day anymore now, so if I have a day off work I try not to wash.
With an oily scalp, it is always better to wash as little as possible, this will only stimulate the production of sebum.
I still wear my messy bun a lot being a single mom and a business owner, but if I want Beautifull Beach Waves, it will actually hold and without greasy hair at the end of the day.
With this Hack Oily Scalp and Hair SO can YOU!! Go try it out and please let me know how it is working for you!
