Wash Less Often

Washing often can send your scalp into panic mode, making it pump out even more oil. Spreading out your wash days helps calm down that constant strip-and-replace cycle.

Pick Shampoo For Greasy Hair

Go for a low-sulphate, gentle shampoo with clarifying ingredients and little helpers like tea tree or niacinamide.

Lukewarm Water Rinse

Hot water is harsh, cold water is a shock, lukewarm feels just right. It opens your cuticles just enough to gently cleanse while keeping your strands easygoing.

Stop Touching Strands

PSA: Hands off the hair. All that touching, dramatic flipping and “just fixing it” sends oil straight to your strands. Sometimes the best hair move is doing absolutely nothing.

Your hair is low-key what you eat. Too much junk sends your scalp into oil-overdrive, while a cleaner diet helps maintain balance.
