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!
