If your hair suddenly becomes more oily, you can consult your gynaecologist to see if this may be the reason. Certain pills have more or less hormonal effects, depending on the dose of the different hormones they contain, so you can produce more or less sebum. ### Avoid the heat During the summer, you are more likely to have more oil in your hair because of sweating and because your scalp is in contact with the sun. The heat stimulates the production of oils from the sebaceous glands. The same occurs when using the hairdryer, the straightener or if the bathwater is too hot. Wash your hair with cold water, wear hats or scarves and let your hair dry on its own. combing-eliminating-greasiness-hair ### Do not comb it when it is dry The only time you can brush your hair is after washing, to untangle it. After it has dried it is best not to touch or comb it, either with your hands or fingers. This only serves to multiply the oiliness. It is also advisable not to brush it before going to sleep. The best combs are those with natural bristles. Clean your combs and wash them once a week. ### No massages or touching the hair It is common, when you are bored, for example, to touch your hair, this is not good if you have oily hair. It is not advisable to massage, and after washing, try to touch it as little as possible. If you are nervous or anxious, don’t curl your hair, for example. All the oil and dirt from the hands go to the hair, which makes the situation worse. How to eliminate oil from hair It is recommended to comb your hair only after washing to detangle it. If we touch it or brush it too much, we will encourage oil production. ## How to eliminate oil from hair? Oily hair is not just a genetic problem or due to the type of skin, as the strands get dirty throughout the day, which increases the oiliness of the hair. Soot, running dirty hands over hair, particles, ■■■■ cells, not washing it every day, can also cause more oil. Here’s how to remove oil from your hair naturally, following simple tips and using natural remedies. Despite the care, sometimes this is not enough and the hair is greasy. This is because the scalp produces more sebum than normal. Oily hair is not always justified by organic dysfunction, but also by the fact that hormones secrete more oils into the body. Therefore, at certain times, such as during pregnancy and during adolescence, there is an increase in oiliness on the scalp and, consequently, on the hair. ## Why does hair oil increase? The reasons why we can have more oily hair are: ### For having washed it inappropriately or not having washed it Using very strong cleansers, or chemicals is not good for the skin. Many shampoos or conditioners are irritating and affect the skin’s pH. This can stimulate the secretion of the oil from the sebaceous glands. The same happens when we don’t wash our hair for days, especially when it’s very hot. eliminate-greasiness-hair ### Genetic or hormonal factors for hair oils The tendency to have oily hair can be inherited in some cases. With regard to hormonal factors, as noted above, at certain stages of life the hair may become more oily than at others, such as during pregnancy, puberty or during ■■■■■■■■■■■■. On these occasions, there is an increase in the production of tallow. ### Very smooth or thin strands can cause hair greasiness Each strand of hair has two or three sebaceous glands that moisturize or irrigate it. If the hair is very thin, it does not use all the oil, so the excess is deposited on the surface. ## Conclusion Oily hair is a problem that affects many women and leaves hair looking heavy, dirty, greasy and without volume. People with a lot of hair are more likely to suffer from this problem, as it is at the base of each hair that the sebaceous glands that produce the “oil” of oily hair are found, so the more hair, the greater the oiliness of the hair. However, with treatment, this problem can be avoided. Follow the 4 tips below and keep your hair always beautiful and silky: Wash your hair several times with shampoo.
