What's up with my greasy hair?

Check these out, too...

My hair has always been healthy, but now since I got older I guess it got greasy. Why?

Don’t worry, chica. Greasy hair is completely normal. It’s possible that your hair is now greasy because you’re getting older, and your body is producing more hormones. These hormones are making your glands produce more oils, which in turn can make your hair look and feel greasy.

If you’re trying to cut the oil slick, consider your shower routine. If you’re scrubbing your hair every night, you might want to change it up to every other day. Washing your hair to frequently can encourage the sebaceous glands on your scalp to produce even more oil. Another factor? Your conditioner. Ditch leave-ins that can make your hair limp and oily and try conditioning only the ends. A tea tree oil-based conditioner could also help ya get rid of the grease.

Good luck, girlie!

I have a lot of hair, except almost every two weeks, I get lice! My mom's tried everything to get rid of it, and I don't want people to make fun od me. How do I get rid of this for good?

Hey girl, you need to use special lice treatment medication in your hair. Consult a pharmacist or a doctor and ask them to help you find the correct product. Also, since lice is easily spread, make sure everyone in your family is checked for lice and also uses the lice-killing shampoo. Disinfect everything in your house (blankets, sheets, towels, etc.) with lice-killing products as well (ask your pharmacist or doctor about this too). Even stuffed animals can contain lice so do a clean-sweep of your entire house. Good luck!

Sorry, babe, but you can't go against your natural hair type very much. Your born with a certain thickness or thinness and your best bet is to just slowly grow to get used to it. Jordan S.

i was wondering, i shower every second day but sometimes i have to skip 2 days. but when my hair gets greasy i get REALLY bad dandruff, and when i was a baby i had really bad cradle cap and i think i still have some. but what can i do to get rid of this dandruff/cradle cap??

Hey girl! I would suggest trying a shampoo that is specifically for dandruff, like Head and Shoulders. If the problem still persists, check with your doctor to see if something else is going on.

Tips for gresy hair
1:once a week pour vinager in your hair(leave for 15 min then shampoo)
2ONT COINDITION, when you condition your hair it trap in the oil making your hair even more greasy.
3: try not to brush your hair as much
4:When you wear hats it makes your head sweat. So it's a no to hats.
5: if you have bangs, then pullling them back in a head band would be a great idea. But don't wear one while excersizing.

I hope these tips work for you!They sure work for me!

My cousins sometimes skip taking a shower some days. Is doing that ok for you or something i should really avoid? Thanks!

Hey chica, showers are very important for keeping up with good hygiene, so I wouldn't recommend doing that. Having a clean body everyday will give you an overall boost; it will help you AND those around you.
