Greasy Hair Care
- When washing your hair make sure that you use small quantities of well-diluted shampoo for oily hair. It is best to wash your hair as quickly as you can after applying shampoo.

-Try using a mild shampoo and wash it less, so that the natural oil balance of the hair shaft is restored. Conditioner can be applied to the tips of hair.

- An old remedy might cure oily scalp problems which is talcum powder. All youneed to do is sprinkling talcum powder onto the scalp. That helps soaking the excess oil of the scalp and restoring the oil balance. Sprinkle talc or baby powder and leave it on the scalp for a few minutes before brushing with a wide toothed comb or brush.
