i get greasy hair really easily.. which shampoo/conditioner should i use?
Question Posted Sunday June 7 2009, 10:48 am
i don't have thin hair or thick hair, more like in the middle (probably closer to thin).
i have front bangs, which i blow dry and usually straighten the ends. (i heard heat makes it more greasy, faster.)
I use Tresemme moisture & remoisture.
however... the problem is, i shower at night, around 8 oclock, dry it by 9, and then when i'm up ready for school at 7am, its already getting greasy.
I took a shower at 11 am yesterday, and it was greasy by 6pm. what shampoo & conditioner can i use so it doesnt get as flat, messy and greasy as quickly? i feel like a mess when i go to school, because everyone else's hair stays cooperative, while mine is pretty gross. (especially when front bangs go greasy - it looks terrible & stringy).

Use a conditioner formulated for fine hair (it won't weigh your hair down as much) or a volumizing variety. I'm not sure if all the shampoos and things I use are cruelty-free, but I know that Bath and Body Works and Victoria's Secret don't test on animals, and they both have nice hair product lines.
If you pin your bangs back while you're sleeping, they won't get as greasy (from the oil in your skin). Throughout the day, use oil blotting sheets on your face to get rid of any excess oil. You can even use them on you hair! If the problem continues, consider investing in a dry shampoo. They can be a bit pricey, but are often well worth it because they work so well.
- I was going to put a link here, but Sephora's site isn't working for me. Look up Ojon dry shampoo.
