Hair Troubles

edited November 2010 in General Discussion
Alright, so lately my hair has been getting very very greasy very easily.<br>Maybe one of you know how to cope with this, or possibly how to change this?<br><br>I haven't changed anything like shampoos or what I use in my hair, but I do eat a lot more junk food than normal [not much more, just a bit], and I exercise more = more sweat, and I have a higher stress level.<br><br>I used to wash my hair every other day and now I have to wash it sometimes twice a day due to the greasyness.<br>If I wash it in the morning it'll get greasy by about 7pm.. and if I wash it at night it gets greasy by noontime the day after that night..<br>I now wash it every day, which is a pain. And I wear a hat a lot now. I have a nice haircut and I don't want to wear hats all the time like this :/

    I exercise a lot and that shouldn't affect your hair. Do you wash it enough? My hair gets bad if I dont wash it for 2 or more days. If you wash your hair too much, it can dry out.

    Washing your hair frequently actually makes it more greasy. Shampoo strips the natural oils out, so the hair follicles try to compensate by creating more oils. Try just washing once a day. Hard to do sometimes when you get hot and sweaty though. The other thing may be hormones, not much you can do about that except ride it out.

    Forgot.. Try to not wash your hair in hot water. Hot water further dries out your hair, making it produce more oils.

    I went through the same thing, accept I only washed in once a day. That was to much for my hair, and while it was softer, it was so much greasey! I only was wash it every two days, or every other day depending on what I do.

    I don't think it's because I wash my hair a lot now, since I didn't start washing my hair so much until it began getting greasy like this.. A few weeks after it began getting greasy... I bet it's stress :/ but I don't doubt that me washing it more makes is worse.

    Another thought I have about it is that I just think it's greasy, because I've asked many people when I think it's greasy if it looks greasy and they always say it doesn't at all.. Maybe it just feels that way? It could possibly be my hands or something.. Hmm.

    If you do want to change anything, then I'd say change your diet. I've been eating very healthy for a few months, and my hair went from being coarse to extremely soft. It was freaking me out yesterday, but I can't say I hate it, because it's what I've always wanted. If it's not your diet, then I'd agree with Bama and say that it might be hormones, which you can't do much about, other than look into products that are for treating greasy hair.<br><br>Now, if no one else thinks it looks or feels greasy, then maybe it's just you. I know I have to ask about mine too, but if my mother thinks it's fine, then I know it's just my imagination.
    I'm done with VP. I'll just be around until I get all my dogs and lines placed in good hands. If you want to contact me, please do so through deviantART.

    True, and if it's not my diet then oh well. Eating healthy shouldn't hurt me XD

    Hopefully you have already found a solution, but also...if you use too much conditioner that could cause oily hair too.
