Hair problem

Former Member

I am going out on Friday for the night straight after college, I have to change in the loos first but anyway. My problem is that I am scared that my hair will go greasy before the night has ended. Does anyone know how I could prevent this?

Former Member

if you wash your hair in the morning before college then i dont see why it would
an easy thing to do with long hair is to dampen it and then put it in a french plait, leave it half an hour and then let it out and put serum on!

Former Member

I wash it in the morning but it gets greasy really quickly.

Former Member

yeah my hair goes greasy really quickly too, but I find if I tie it up it goes greasy less quickly... so maybe you could tie it up throughout the day at college and take it down before you go out? or something...

Former Member

I hate tieing my hair up.

Former Member

oh ok.... well I'll keep on thinking....

Former Member

My hair get's greasy easily, but not by the end of the day! Might a different shampoo help?

Former Member

Nah doesn't really make a difference

Former Member

well i find head and shoulders for classic clean/greasy hair is quite good for just a one day wash. thing is the next day it doesn't look too good! there'll be a shampoo out there for you, it's just finding it. do you drink plenty of water and what not?

Former Member

Yeah I drink water throughout the day.

Former Member

what shampoo do you use? if you don't mind me asking?

i've seen products you can get to put on your hair, like a powder but i can't imagine it working.

Former Member

Sunsilk for greasy hair.

Former Member

see, this is where i've had problems. i find that shampoo's designed for greasy hair make it worse. i don't know why. but the head and shoulders one works a treat...for a day anyway!

Former Member

Really? I wash my hair bout 5.45 in the morning will it last all night?

Former Member

It depends on you, everyone finds different shampoo's work better on their hair than others. Do you find that you're constantly playing with/touching your hair? 'Cause that doesn't help. Also using conditioner doesn't tend to be a good idea...though using it at the ends is good for your hair.

Former Member

Do you use conditioner? it doesnt sound like you need it really but if you do use it then you should only condition the very ends of the hair.

Former Member

yeah I do play with my hair and I know it doesnt help but I do it when I nervouse or bored or whatever.

I just said that.

Playing with your hair won't help, try leaving it alone. Sometimes if my hair looks a bit limp, I put some curls in it to give it some lift and it really works. It works for me anyway. What's your hair like...i.e. straight/curly.

Former Member

I have straight but fine hair which is annoying becuase it goes flat really quickly too.

me too, though it doesn't go flat. i have thick hair, which is fine at the same time. have any hairdressers ever recommended any products to you?

Former Member

i agree with whoever else said it head and shoulders is really good for greasy hair, and maye you should not play with your hair the day your going out!
oh also u can buy that dry shampoo stuff which u springle in and it soaks up greese and then u brush it out, never used it before though

Former Member

yeah that dry shampoo is called batiste, and I hae used it before, but not for years. you just spray it, leave it a minute or so, and then brush it out THOROUGHLY. It takes a while to brush it out, but it did work ok (if i remember rightly) It was a bit of a faff though, but im planning to get some to take to reading festival with me, because I dont think i could go from thursday to sunday without washing it at all.

You can even use talc to do the same thing in an emergency. But you have to brush it out well or you end up looking a bit dusty.

I dunno.... in a greasy hair emergency I just tie it up and wash and dry my fringe. It's surprising how much difference that makes.
