HAIR TYPES: 7 NATURAL REMEDIES TO GET RID OF OILY HAIR

Hair is your crowning glory! It is easily the most crucial feature of your face-your hair type and hair style tend to define your face structure and the way you look.

And while everyone’s hair grow through the hair follicles and is made up of protein filaments; everyone has different hair type, be it the thickness, the colour, the texture or the type of scalp.

Here are a few hair textures:

• Straight
• Wavy
• Curly
• Very Curly

Here are some hair types:

• Thick (circumference more than 4 inches)
• Normal (circumference between 2 – 4 inches)
• Thin (circumference less than 2 inches)

It is extremely important to know the type of your scalp to treat it accordingly with appropriate hair products; like shampoos, serums, conditioners, hair masks etc.

Here are some types of scalps:

• Dry
• Normal
• Oily

The reason why everyone has a different type of scalp is that the sebaceous glands play an important role in determining the oiliness and the thickness of the hair. This, in turn, categorizes every scalp into different types as stated above. The sebaceous gland produces a substance known as sebum which aids in the strengthening of the hair and adds lustre to the hair strands.

Here are some common reasons why you might have an oily scalp:

• Diet, blood circulation, stress, drugs, ageing process and emotional triggers can affect the production of sebum which is secreted onto the scalp.
• Humid weather can add to your hair being more oily because like skin, the scalp sweats as well.
• Genetic factors – If your parents have an oily scalp, there is a high possibility that you have one too. If you want to get rid of your oily scalp, a lot of perseverance will be required from your end.
• Improper hair care – Too many hair masks, incorrect choice of shampoo and conditioner, avoiding hair washes, and over washing your hair can all cause your hair not only irreparable damage but also make your hair weak in the long run.

An over secretion of sebum because of overactive sebaceous glands end up making the scalp oily. This could happen due to raging hormones when one is hitting puberty or menopause.

Here are a few basic things to keep in mind to avoid oily hair:

• Shampoo your hair frequently.
• Avoid massaging conditioner into your roots as it will stimulate excess secretion of sebum on your scalp.
• Wash your hair with either cool or room temperature water.
• Don’t massage your hair with oil often as this will increase the secretion of sebum once again.
• Avoid touching your hair again and again as it can transfer the oil from your skin onto your hair. Even the dirt on your skin can transfer onto your hair and make it both dirty and oily.
