How often do you wash it? If you can bear to leave it for a few days (tie it up or wear a hat or something) that might help. I think it lets your oil glands, or whatever they are, calm down a bit so that they won't produce so much oil.
- Only put conditioners on the end of your hair, the roots don't need it and it just makes it greasy
- Don't touch/play with your hair too much
- Rinse with lukewarm water, not hot - it stimulates the oil production of your scalp
Can't think of anything else. :yeees:
Try getting a special shampoo for greasy hair. Its worth getting a decent one, even though it may cost more, its worth it, KERÉSTASE do a good one. Also, towel dry your hair after shampooing before you apply the conditioner. Apply the conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair, not the roots. When applying products, do the same and apply to the ends. It is worth leaving your hair as long as possible without washing it, other wise it will make your hair more greasy. Put it up or wear a cap if needs be. You can also sprinkle on a little talcom powder to disguise greasy-ness and pat it in to your head, but be careful that you dont end up with white, powdery, flakey roots!
Shampoo for greasy hair makes my hair greasier :eek2:
Oh, and don't brush your hair. I haven't used a hair brush for over a year. I run my fingers through it while I straighten. Brushing stimulates the hair follicles, so try and touch/brush your hair as little as possible.
Never Not Condition.

I'm doing hairdressing at college. We've been told we must always ALWAYS use conditioner.
As for the greasy hair prob....i think this is what the teacher said, but i'm not sure, so it' prob best not to do it, but.....you put a shampoo for greasy hair on, then put a cap on (for you it's be cling film) then blow dry that for like 5 mins, but not too hot. Then rinse and use a reconstructor type conditioner.
And i suggest just putting conditioner on the ends, and a very tiny bit on the rest of ur hair.
