In summer, the temperature is high and the weather is hot. With excessive sebum secretion, not only does the face easily become shiny, but the hair also falls victim to greasiness. So, what can we do to help control oil and keep the hair fresh in the summer?
Maintain a proper hair washing frequency
If the hair is not washed for a long time, it will easily become greasy. On the other hand, washing the hair too frequently can also lead to greasiness. The scalp needs a certain amount of sebum to protect it. Frequent hair washing will wash away this protective sebum, resulting in even more sebum secretion. As a result, the hair becomes greasier over time. Generally, people with oily hair in the summer can wash their hair once every 1-2 days, ensuring that the scalp is thoroughly cleansed each time.
Choose silicone-free shampoo
If shampoo contains a large amount of silicone, it can easily cause problems such as hair greasiness and hair loss when other hair care products are applied after washing. Therefore, it is best to choose a mild and non-irritating shampoo without silicone every time you wash your hair to help control oil and improve hair greasiness.
Avoid using hair styling products
Hair styling products such as hair gel should be avoided in the summer. These products can easily hinder the hair's ability to breathe freely, and if the hair is not properly cleaned, it can lead to the accumulation of dirt and worsen the greasiness of the hair. In the summer, it is best to keep the hair fresh and natural. If hair styling products are necessary, choose ones that are lightweight and thoroughly wash them off before going to bed.
Use baby powder to quickly reduce greasiness
If the hair is greasy and you want to quickly absorb oil, you can try using baby powder. Baby powder has excellent oil-absorbing and oil-controlling effects. Just sprinkle a small amount of baby powder on the greasy areas of the hair, then pat it with your hands or a powder puff, and finally blow dry the excess powder with a hairdryer.
Note: This is only a temporary solution and cannot solve the problem of greasy hair from its root cause.
Wash the hair with white vinegar to effectively remove oil and control oil
In summer, if the hair is prone to greasiness, you can add a few drops of white vinegar to the water when washing the hair, mix it well, and use it to wash the hair. If greasiness still persists, you can mix vinegar essence with shampoo, massage the scalp and hair, and then rinse. This can help improve the pH imbalance of the scalp and control oil.
Avoid touching the hair to reduce oiliness
Frequent touching of the hair with hands can easily make the hair greasy. This is because hands come into contact with many things and carry a large amount of bacteria and sebum. When touching the hair, these substances are transferred to the hair, making it dirty and greasy. Similarly, people with oily skin should also avoid touching their skin with hands.
