My hair is very oily.
I have 2 questions here, but they relate both to the same problem so I'll ask in one.
I have really oily hair for some reason. Like I wash it one day, then it's okay for the next day but the day after it looks like it hasn't been washed in weeks. So I basically have to wash my hair everyday otherwise it gets REALLY oily. I've been told that's bad for your hair too. That's not my question.
My question is, how can I stop it from going oily so quickly? I've tried heaps of stuff. Different shampoos and conditioners, washing it twice, scrubbing extra hard, not scubbing at all etc nothing works!
My second question is: Straight after I wash my hair, the damp bits become oily straight away. And everytime I wash my hair it's different damp bits, and different oily bits. Like above I've tried everything. I think it's something to do with the way my hair dries. It's only the damp bits which are oily. I can't dry or straighten my hair without those damp bits becoming huge oily parts and it's starting to become REAL annoying and a HUGE problem. What do I do?

Omgsh!
I have the exact same problem.
I wash my hair everyday anyways, and yea every hair dresser ive gone to tells me that it's not good for your hair to wash it that much.
So what i do is wash it everyday during the week[i take my showers in the morning] and then maybe on the weekends ill go a day without washing it.
You only condition the tips of your hair not the roots. And yea when you wash your hair with shampoo you have to scrub hard and make sure you get all of the shampoo out of your hair. Also change your shampoos out. Neutrogena is a good brand. I'll use the clean volume one. And I also use the Brillant Brunette volumizing one.
Talk to your hairdresser about your problem, im sure she will have wonderful suggestions.

The oils your hair carries are healthy for your hair.People with dry hair,have to go without washing their hair just to get those oils..But I know it can be annoying.Start using only shampoo for awhile and use conditoner maybe once or twice a week.Maybe try blowdrying your hair after your shower..Good luck!

I know people say it's not good to wash your hair everyday, but if you don't it will most likley look oily. Use shampoo, and only use conditioner on the ends of your hair so it won't look as oily.

I know, I have that same problem, I wash it one day and when I get out of the shower it just doesnt feel very clean. Then the next day it looks ok I guess. But maybe 1 or 2 days go by and it starts looking and feeling really oily. Maybe you and I are starting or getting ready to go through puberty. That's what starts happening when you start or get ready to start going through puberty. If you have any more ?'s for me just feel free to ask me.

Hi,
You could try using a blow-dryer to completely dry your hair after you wash it.
Secondly, shampoo is a bit strange when it comes to oil. If you have a lot of oil in your hair, it won't lather. What you need to do is:
Wet your hair thoroughly
Use about half as much shampoo as you would to wash it, or perhaps even less... and massage that through. It shouldn't lather, and if it does, I doubt whatever it is in your hair is oil.
rinse a little water over your hair, and massage it to make sure the shampoo you've used is distributed well. Once you're sure you've gotten it through your hair well, rinse it all out.
THEN use the same amount of shampoo as you normally would. It should lather the second time. Once you've lathered it, wash it out.
You might want to make sure you're using a conditioner for normal, or oily hair, if you're inclined to use it. I usually don't, because a lot of the conditioners around are crap. But then again, I usually use a small amount of oil to condition it, so I suppose you don't exactly need to follow that bit of advice :)
Washing your hair once every two days shouldn't be that bad, especially if you use a gentle shampoo (Ones not containing sodium laureth sulphate/sulfate, or sodium lauryl sulphate/sulfate are best, especially if they specifically say that they don't have it, because usually they will use good quality ingredients). Most commercial shampoos you find will contain one of the two. It's a natural palm derivative, so it can't be THAT bad, right? Well, yeah, but it's also used in industrial toilet, and floor-cleaners.. so hmm... I avoid them when I can.
If the first shampoo lathers, consider that perhaps you just have insanely beautiful, and naturally lustrous hair.
