It is important that we avoid hair products such as foams, gels and lacquers, since they make the hair very dirty and greasy, worsening the condition. We must choose natural ingredients
Oily hair is a condition that greatly affects people who suffer from it. This is because it gives a dirty look that is only avoided by continual washing, which is also not beneficial for the scalp.
We will review the causes of this excess oil in the hair. We will share some remedies to balance our scalp and remove excess fat without drying it out.
For this purpose we will use natural products and we will learn to do without the conventional shampoo.
Avoid oily hair with proper nutrition
Whenever we want to treat a physical issue, it is necessary to first check our internal health. In this case, our diet, since it influences many bodily aspects.
Next, the hair is showing us that a large part of the fats that we ingest are possibly not assimilating well.
- Therefore, instead of nourishing other parts of the body, our body is trying to expel that fat through the scalp.
Therefore, we recommend reducing harmful fats from the diet and instead increasing healthy fats. With this we will ensure that we do not lack nutrients.
Among the harmful fats or those that should not be abused are:
- Red meats and sausages.
- Margarine.
- Hydrogenated or trans fats.
- Fried.
- Whole dairy.
- Industrial pastries.
But there are also beneficial fats. Among them we can highlight these:
- Vegetable oils extracted from a first cold pressing, such as olive, sesame or flax.
- The nuts, which also contain lots of fiber and many minerals.
- Yolk.
- Blue Fish.
- Avocado, a very nutritious and healthy fruit. In addition, we recommend consuming also its seed, which will help us better assimilate its fat content.
The relationship with the liver
Fat digestion is directly related to the liver. An organ that according to traditional Chinese medicine also directly influences hair health.
That is why we recommend that you take care of it with one of these simple and natural remedies:
- Drink bitter teas before bed: boldo, milk thistle, dandelion, artichoke, etc.
- Sleep with a hot water bottle over the ribs on the right side.
- Make light dinners.
- Avoid alcohol.
Shampoos and styling products
The problem with oily hair shampoos is that they are very aggressive and also remove natural sebum from the scalp. Therefore, we recommend preferably using mild and ecological shampoos, made with natural ingredients:
- Essential oils.
- Saponaria.
- Coconut.
- Aloe vera, etc.
In addition, if what we have is only the scalp greasy and, on the other hand, the ends of the hair are dry, we must be very careful with the shampoo, since if we do not, it will dry out all the hair much more.
- We must always hydrate the tips well.
On the other hand, hair styling products such as jelly beans, gels, foams, among others, mess and grease the hair a lot, so we should avoid them as much as possible.
The ghassoul
The ghassoul or Rhassoul is a clay Arab women used to wash her hair. Although it may seem strange, the truth is that it cleanses the scalp in depth without damaging it. It is due to the fact that it has great absorbent power, regulating natural sebum whether we have it dry or whether it is oily.
- Although there are some ghassoul shampoos, the truth is that we can also get it natural.
- In the form of hard pieces of clay that we will mix with a little hot water to create a homogeneous paste.
- When it is warm, we will use it like the shampoo.
- We will let it act for a minute and rinse well with water.
- The result is very clean hair.
In addition, with its regular use we will notice that the hair is kept clean for longer and, we will not have to wash it every day.
Bicarbonate
Baking soda is a product with multiple uses for health and beauty and, in the case of oily hair, it is also very useful thanks to its degreasing and cleaning power.
- We will wash our hair with baking soda and then we will use apple cider vinegar as a conditioner.
People with dry hair feel that with this natural shampoo their hair gets too dry, which is why it is the ideal option for those with oily hair.
