What's up with my greasy hair?

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 used to have this and it sucks !
Here are some ways you can help solve these issues:
1. Be sure you are talking showers on a regular basis, make sure you get all the shampoo out to.
2. don't use lots and lots of hair spray and such. A little goes a long way. Product build up can be some of your problem.
3. Try different methods of getting rid of it like using a certain shampoo for oily hair. There is a shampoo that is called " dry shampoo ' which might work for you . I personally didn't like it but it's what workd for you. Baby powder and flour are also odd remedies that may rid you of thsi icky stitch!
Thanks and I hope I helped!

I straighten my hair all the time, to the point that it's completely straight. But, my natural hair is really wavy, so the straightness never lasts through an entire day. Is there any way I can keep it straight all day?

I recently started getting dandruff, and im freaking out! I have never had it before and i wanna know if there is a way to get rid of it before next week (i start school) im going into HighSchool and i dont wanna be known as dandruff girl...HELP!!! :\




Hey girl, try getting a dandruff shampoo at your local drug store and following its instructions. It should help clear it up quite a bit.

I have LOOONG, straight hair. My hair is also Very flat. Is there anything I can do to it to make it more volumized or cute, instead of boring?
Thanx!

Hey babe,

This is just like my hair - it's thin, long, and way straight. Ugh! But luckily there are some things we can do to give it a lil boost. Try a volumizing mousse at your roots when your hair is still damp from the shower. Blow-drying your hair is also a major way to give it some shape - run it all over your hair to get the moisture out a bit, then use a barrel brush to pull your hair up from the roots and blow dry, from the roots to the bottom. It'll give it more volume and you can either leave it down, or style how ya like Smile

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
