- Style hair to hide the oily roots.
- Day 1 – hair down
- Day 2 – half up
- Day 3 – ponytail with some loose pieces
- Day 4 – slick bun
- Day 5 – wash or slick style again if you think you can handle it
- Shampoo 2 or 3 times when you wash.
- Change your shampoo, Extravagance Volumising Shampoo is great even if you don’t have fine hair.
- Focus conditioner, treatments and any moisturising hair products on the mid-lengths and ends only.
- Use a light conditioner/treatment such as Extravagance Volumising Shampoo/Power Shot Energy Treatment and reduce how often you use heavy treatments.
- Use Angel Magic Moisture as a conditioner replacement.
- Slightly reduce oily foods in your diet (nuts, fish etc).
- Reset wash cycle by stretching washes out by a day every few weeks. SOME people have success with nourishing the roots for a week or two with conditioner/treatment/moisture at the roots and then cut back – this enables your body to recognise it doesn’t need to produce as much sebum.
- Stop touching your hair. The more you touch the more it will want to create/show the oil.
- A fine bristled brush will help distribute the oil down the hair strand.
- Time gym day with hair wash day, exercise with hair out and blow dry sweat off afterwards.
- Change your pillowcase regularly.
- Dry shampoo – this is last on my list because dry shampoo can cause scalp issues and hair loss so treat this one with caution.
Remember – darker roots and fine/low density hair will always look greasier sooner. Bottle blondes can usually shampoo less frequently as the hair is dryer and absorbs the oil before looking greasy.
