Got a scalp treatement which is really greasy, washed my hair three times, and most of the grease seems to be out, but there is stilla trace of it, and as I want my hair colored tomorrow it needs to get all out.

Anybody knows how to get rid of it? I'd be very grateful. Thanks :)

    Wash it again untill the majority of it is out. They'll wash your hair again tomorrow anyway wont they? But, if your worried about it still looking greasy, sprinkle a bit of talc on the roots and comb it through (pat it off a bit if necessary). That'll dry it out a bit and stops it from appearing greasy :)

    Some do. But most blokes have shortish hair, so its not too noticable; when blokes have slightly longer hair, it becomes more obvious.

    For greasy hair, rub a piece of tissue paper on your scalp. If you can see oil on the tissue, treat accordingly.

    Check your shampoo. It could be creating residue in your hair. Once a week, pour 1/2 cup of an astringent like Sea Breeze on your head. Massage it in, leave it on for 10 minutes. Then Rinse thoroughly.

    Oily Hair Tonic

    1 egg
    1/2 cup milk
    2 tablespoons lemon juice

    Combine and massage into scalp. Wrap your head in aluminum foil for thirty minutes. Rinse in apple cider vinegar.


    OR

    Apple Polish

    The pectin in apple juice absorbs the excess oil, which can leave your hair sueeky clean. So in a bowl, combine 1/2 cup apple juice with 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar. Pour over freshly washed hair. Leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse out with seltzer water. The vinegar intesifies the apple juices oil-absorbing power.

    Hope I helped!!

    I don't have that problem :(
    MY hair is thick and normal, but the scalp treatment I got is really strong.

    Oh well.

    Thanks for the answers guys.

    these might seem a bit weird but ive used them both and they work rerally great on getting rid of grease, build up etc. alka seltzer and washing up liquid-however!! use them only once or twice a month!!! ;)

    About a month ago I used Red Wine Vinegar on my hair to add shine. NEVER AGAIN! My hair smelt of a mix of sick and vinegar 5 days afterwards :yuck:
