Oily Hair? Here's how to help!

Oily hair can be a frustrating and persistent problem for many people. Understanding why hair gets oily is key to finding a solution. In this blog post, we'll explore the background knowledge of oily hair and what’s the solution?

Why Does Hair Get Oily?

The scalp produces natural oils called sebum that help to moisturize and protect the hair. However, when the scalp produces too much sebum, it can make the hair appear greasy and weighed down. There are several reasons why the scalp might produce excess sebum:

Genetics: Some people are simply more prone to oily hair due to their genetics.

Hormones: Hormonal changes, such as those that occur during puberty or menopause, can increase sebum production.

Diet: Eating a diet that is high in fats and oils can increase sebum production.

Environmental factors: Exposure to hot and humid weather, pollution, and other environmental factors can also contribute to oily hair.

How to Manage Oily Hair

There are several steps you can take to manage oily hair:

Wash your hair regularly: Regular washing can help to remove excess sebum and prevent build-up on the scalp. Always shampoo twice before applying your conditioner.

Use a clarifying shampoo: Clarifying shampoos such as Evo Gluttony Shampoo can help to remove build-up and excess oil from the scalp.

Avoid using heavy conditioners and styling products: Heavy products can weigh down the hair and make it appear greasier.

Consider using a dry shampoo: Dry shampoo can help to absorb excess oil and refresh the hair between washes. (Water Killer Evo)

Olive’s recommendation for Oily Hair: Evo Gluttony Shampoo

The Evo Gluttony Shampoo is a great solution for those with oily hair. This shampoo is designed to add volume and body to hair while removing excess oil and build-up from the scalp. It contains a blend of natural ingredients, including papaya extract, which helps to regulate sebum production, and hydrolysed wheat protein, which strengthens and nourishes the hair.

To use Evo Gluttony Shampoo, wet your hair thoroughly and apply a small amount of the shampoo to your scalp. Massage the scalp gently with your fingertips, then rinse thoroughly. Follow up with a lightweight conditioner, focusing on the ends of the hair rather than the roots.

Oily hair can be a frustrating problem, but with the right tools and techniques, it can be managed. Regular washing, avoiding heavy products, and using a clarifying shampoo like Evo Gluttony can help to regulate sebum production and leave hair looking clean, healthy, and voluminous.
