It would seem: you washed your hair well, styled it well, and by the end of the day your hairstyle looks untidy and your strands dirty 🥲 

Why does this happen? Why does hair get greasy almost immediately after washing? There can be several reasons and our girls will tell you how to keep your hairstyle fresh and luxurious for a longer period of time 😉

Why does such a nuisance happen?

Oh, there can be many factors here, starting from the habit of twisting your strands and ending with the fact that you forget to wash your comb and change your pillowcase on time 🫣

But if you are smart and do everything right, and your hairstyle still quickly loses its freshness, then the reasons may also lie in the following factors:

  1. The wrong shampoo. If the product contains silicones, aggressive surfactants or does not match your scalp type - this can cause rapid hair contamination.
  2. Frequent hair washing.  Paradoxically, the more often you wash your hair, the faster it gets oily. Because during washing, natural oils, which help moisturize your curls and scalp, are removed. 
  3. Improper use of conditioner and mask. Apply conditioner only to the ends of your hair, avoiding the roots, so as not to accelerate pollution. Don't forget about masks – they do not replace conditioner, but complement care: they close the cuticle and retain moisture 👍

And more. Constant styling with styling products is not great for the scalp. They can cause seborrhea and hair breakage. Periodically give your curls a break and just dry your hair on medium heat with a hairdryer without styling ❤️

How to keep your hairstyle fresh for a long time?

If you are looking for an answer to the question of how to reduce hair oiliness, our girls have prepared a step-by-step instruction for you👏

Choose the right shampoo. 

A product for oily scalp should contain ingredients that reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, deeply cleanse and refresh the dermis, and also have antiseptic properties. Pay attention to the fact that the shampoo has a balanced pH and contains natural extracts that penetrate the epithelium, normalize sebum secretion and promote skin regeneration 🌱

Sis, take a closer look at these products for oily scalp:

Scrub and peeling for the scalp. 

This is not only a great way to cleanse the dermis of excess sebum and remove the remains of styling products. Peeling helps accelerate metabolic processes inside the cells, is wonderfully refreshing, and after the delicate exfoliation procedure, your hairstyle will really stay fresh for a long time 👌

Pay attention to these products:

Scalp masks. 

Such products are a radically new approach to care, because thanks to them the hair follicle is moisturized and nourished, lymphatic drainage improves, the pH level of the dermis is restored and as a result, the hair retains a well-groomed appearance for a long time. And the density of the hairstyle also becomes noticeably better, you will see it in a few uses 😍

Try these products – they may become your favorites:

Head massage. 

It stimulates the hair follicles, which promotes hair growth and improvement of its condition, makes it healthier and shinier. This is a cool way not only to regulate the work of the sebaceous glands, but also improves the overall condition of the hair, promotes relaxation and in general, massage is always a good idea ☺️ 

Stress control and a balanced food.

Hair really loves products such as nuts, liver, citrus fruits and legumes – everything that is rich in vitamins B and C.  Follow a balanced diet, get enough rest, and very soon you will notice positive changes in the condition of your scalp and hair 🤗

Why is K-beauty the best choice? 

Korean shampoos for oily hair are incredibly popular. Because they contain:

  • Natural ingredients. Korean manufacturers often use natural oils, plant extracts, medicinal herbs and pure mineral waters 🌱 
  • Minimal amount of artificial additives. The composition of these shampoos usually contains no more than 10% artificial components, such as dyes, fragrances and preservatives 🥰 
  • Restoring normal pH level. Korean shampoos help normalize the natural pH balance of the scalp, which helps fight dandruff and other scalp problems ⚖️ 
  • Sulfate-free formulas. Many brands offer sulfate-free shampoos, which is especially useful if you, sis, have a sensitive scalp 😊

Oily hair is a signal that your scalp needs a little attention and the right approach.
