7 Affordable And Natural Ways To Manage Oily Hair And Scalp

Do you feel like you hair easily becomes oily even when you’ve just washed it a day or two ago? Your tresses feel weighed down because of greasiness without even applying any after shower hair product? Don’t let this problem escalate! There are natural ways to manage this condition that can be far more effective than chemical treatments.

1.      Lemon Juice

We already know that lemon is packed with vitamins and minerals that can help with hair growth. But the acidic property of lemon is the one that specifically helps with oily scalp. How? It helps balance your scalp’s pH level and controls oil secretion. All you have to do is squeeze one lemon into a cup of water, mix them well and apply it to your scalp. Rinse it with warm water and mild shampoo after leaving the mixture on your scalp for a few minutes.

2.      Tea Rinse

Tea is not only a healthy drink; it can also help you with your hair problems. It doesn’t just stimulate hair growth and help make it shinier, but it can also control grease on your scalp. Tea acts as an astringent, regulating the production of oil and preventing the accumulation of excess sebum on the scalp. Simply dip a tea bag a cup of warm water and apply the resulting tea on your scalp. Let that sit for a couple of minutes before rinsing.

3.      Baking Soda

Some people know baking soda as a cleaning agent while other use it for baking, so the question is, is it too harsh for your scalp since it’s used as cleaning agent or mild enough to be a baking ingredient? Well turns out when it’s in highly diluted form it can curb oiliness on your scalp. Note that when you have chemically treated hair you may experience a different reaction. You may dilute two to three tablespoons of baking soda into a liter of water, leave it for a few minutes and rinse or mix it in your shampoo.

4.      Apple Cider Vinegar

If you don’t have lemon or tea at home, apple cider vinegar is a great alternative because it also has an astringent effect that lessens oil buildup on your scalp. Exposure to this acidity also hardens the outer layer of the hair and flattens the cuticle, resulting in hair that shines, “slides” easily, and is less prone to tangling or snagging. Just remember that if you have dry hair, less apple cider vinegar is best while those with oily hair or scalp issues will do better with more.

5.      Henna And Eggs

Natural products like henna powder and egg yolk is a great hair mask because henna’s antifungal and antiseptic properties causes overproduction of oil on your scalp to subside. Egg yolk on the other hand is packed with protein and useful nutrients which are important to improve our hair growth and to nourish them properly. Just mix 3 tablespoons of henna powder and one egg together and add a little warm water to make a pasty consistency. Apply this mixture onto your hair and leave it on for 2 hours before rinsing as usual.

6.      Switch To Baby Shampoo Or Make Your Own

Most shampoos today contain ingredients that either irritate the scalp or leave residue on your hair that result to oily and dull appearance. Baby shampoos are much more milder though it take more than your usual use before it lathers up. If you wanna be more precise with your shampoo’s ingredients, you can make your own by mixing a tablespoon of lemon juice with a teaspoon of aloe vera gel. Refrigerate it to last for about a week.

7.      Try Luxe Instant Cleanse Formulation
