Say Goodbye to Grease: How to Manage Greasy Hair

Say Goodbye to Grease: How to Manage Greasy Hair 546 450 Number 4 High Performance Hair Care

BONJOUR DAH-LING!

Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder why your hair looks oily and greasy despite washing it the night before? Greasy hair can be frustrating to deal with, but it’s also a common problem for many people. Oily hair occurs when the sebum glands in your scalp produce too much oil, which can make your hair look dull and lifeless. But don’t worry; we’ve got you covered with exactly how to solve this problem and which products can help combat it!

Today we’re diving into the truth behind why your hair gets greasy. Plus, we’ll share some tips and tricks for managing oily hair and even recommend some amazing products from the Number 4’s professional vegan hair care range that can help you say goodbye to greasy days once and for all.

Greasy Hair

Understanding Greasy Hair

You first need to understand why greasy hair happens in order to figure out how to effectively manage it. Some of the most common causes of oily hair are:

  1. Over-washing: When you wash your hair too often, you strip your scalp of its natural oils. This can cause your sebum glands to produce even more oil, resulting in greasy hair.
  2. Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can cause your sebum glands to produce excessive oil.
  3. Genetics: Some people have naturally oily hair due to genetics.
  4. Diet: A diet high in fat and sugar can contribute to the production of excess sebum. Step away from those sweets, dah-ling!

Now, let’s move on to some tips and tricks for managing your greasy locks using the N4 botanical-inspired, paraben-free hair care range.

Tips And Tricks for Managing Greasy Hair

Here are some of the ways you can take control of your scalp and manage unwanted oiliness effectively, ensuring a fresh and confident look every day.

  • Wash your hair less often: Contrary to popular belief, washing your hair daily is unnecessary. Try washing your hair every other day or every two days to allow your scalp the time it needs to regulate its oil production.
  • Avoid heavy styling products: Heavy styling products like gels and waxes can weigh down your hair and make it look even greasier. Opt for lightweight styling products like the N4 Smoothing Balm that will nourish and hydrate your hair without making it oily. Plus, it’s perfect for all hair types!
  • Rinse with cool water: Rinsing your hair with cool water in the shower can help close your hair cuticles and reduce oil production.
  • Brush your hair regularly: Brushing your hair regularly can help to distribute the natural oils from your scalp throughout your hair. Just make sure you use a clean brush so that you don’t add dirt and other oils to your hair!

The best for summer hair

I absolutely love Number 4. I fell in love with the clarifying shampoo first - the smell is divine - and it was the only shampoo that I had ever used that I didn’t have to follow with conditioner for my long hair. Now that it’s summer, I wash with the clarifying shampoo and air dry with support solution and then sprunch with sugar spray. So easy.
Love, love.

Sugar Texturizing Spray 4.9oz and support solution

I am a licensed cosmetologist and these 2 products together are hands down the best I have ever used for curls!!

First, I love the consistency of this styling solution. It's not like gel, which is slippery, but not heavy like lotion- just perfectly in between. On a night out to dinner, I wet my curls good, then I applied some of this product onto my wet hair and scrunched. After that, I combed through my curls, and I was surprised that I did not encounter any tangles or knots! Also, I had less breakage after I combed through. Always, like always, my hair shrinks up. When I apply gel or a styling lotion, my hair looks long and curly but about a few hours later, it shrinks and becomes poofy. I hate that a lot! But what I noticed when I applied this and after a couple hours, my hair was the same as I left it and I love it! Usually when I am wearing gel in my hair, my curls harden and stiffen. But with this, my curls remained soft and bouncy. This hair lotion has a light scent to it and it keeps my hair smelling nice- and I even got a compliment on it! It is lightweight and does not harden your hair as I said before. It makes a great pair with the Reconstructing Masque also from Number 4 Hair. You use that treatment, then rinse, apply conditioner, rinse that out- and apply this styling product! I love this product to keep my hair moisturized and from dryness, to keep my curls frizz-free, and I will definitely be purchasing some when I run out!
