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 have softball each morning at 8:30 to 11:00. I don't shower before practice, I shower after, should I shower before, or does it matter?




Hey girl,

It's probably better to shower after practice because if you get sweaty, showering will remove all the sweat and dirt you have on your body. x0x0

My hair is oily too but its never been greasy since I switched to a daily clarifying shampoo. It cuts out the residue from hair products and gets rid of excess oils. Hope I helped <3

MODMODMOD about a year ago, i have started spitting a lot while i talk, and it has been becoming a problem. Every time i have a simple conversation with my friends, i spit and they always tell me that i spit a lot. I really want to prevent this from happening because this year I'm going to a new school, and i don't want to try making new friends while spitting in their faces. A lot of people say that that might be happening because the person has a gap between their teeth, but i don't have one. What should i do to make this stop?




Hey girl,

Try drinking more water and swallowing more frequently. You can also ask your doctor if he or she suggests anything that you can do to stop the spitting. Good luck! x0x0
