Remedies for oily hair make you shine!

Remedies for oily hair are naturally great.
Some say Blond`s have more fun. Is this true? I am not sure, but what they do have is more oily hair. Also those with very fine and/or straight hair have more oily hair because they have more pores in the head for the oil to come out.

For what ever reason, Mother Nature gave people with fine hair more hair at the root per square inch and this gives more pores for oil to secrete. Generally men have more oily hair because of a natural male hormone called androgen. But this hormone can be activated in women during stress causing more oily hair.

• Remedies for oily hair #1: Before shampooing, massage the scalp thoroughly to bring up any oil just under the scalp at the pores. Using massage will really get the oil where you can clean it away instead of leaving it hiding just underneath the skin.

• Remedies for oily hair #2: Wash with a natural, chemical free shampoo. Add 2 drops of lavender and 2 drops of geranium essential oils to the shampoo. Be sure to test this with just a small dab on your elbow to make sure there is no skin allergies for these oils. If no irritation then these oils work great and smell good too. When you purchase your oils be sure to ask someone knowledgeable about the proper and safe use of these oils.


• Remedies for oily skin #3: After shampoo, rinse with a special mix of one table spoon of apple cider vinegar, one tea spoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice and a pint of water. Really work this in well, then rinse well.


• Remedies for oily hair #4: Don`t use conditioner. If you must, only use at the ends of your hair. If you want to condition the hair the best way to do it is with the remedies offered on this site. By improving your diet, using essential oils and other alternatives you will find your hair is shiny, manageable and full body with out using conditioners that do more harm then good.


• Remedies for oily hair #5: High heat can increase oil from your pores so cut down on the heat of your hair dryer and when possible let it air dry. Also using harsh soaps meant to stop oil production only does so temporarily. Both high heat and harsh soaps dry the skin too much and the body sensing a complete lack in oil revs up the system to pump out even more oil.


• Remedies for oily hair #6: Stress increases oil production in the body, so you can cut down on the oil by learning techniques for reducing stress. Meditation and deep breathing are two great ways to reduce stress and improve health including reducing skin and scalp oil production.


• Remedies for oily hair #7: Eat more deep sea water fish. Although using oil to fight excess oil seems like a contradiction the use of both essential oils and health food and oils can help us to have more healthy skin and hair. Fish have omega 3 oils which will aid the body in many ways including skin and scalp.
  
  Many Japanese are admired for their youthful, healthy skin and hair well into their middle and old age. The young generation which has started eating a more western style diet often struggle with oily skin just as others do. But for those who eat a diet high in fish, seaweeds and high fiber find they have beautiful hair and skin both when young and old.


• Remedies for oily hair #8: Stop eating foods high in fats including red meats, saturated and trans fats. These kind of bad fats will drive up oil production for skin and scalp. Remember that a healthy diet will lead not only to a healthy body, but also healthy skin and scalp.
