What Causes Greasy Hair?

We recommend this article from Glamour Magazine to better prevent and control dirty hair. A lot of different situations can cause greasy hair. These are just some of the contributing factors that can lead to oily looking hair:

Menstruation 

Ladies, your period results in a surge of hormones that affect a whole host of body functions. For your hair, an increase of hormones can result in your oil glands overproducing, resulting in greasy hair. 

Wearing a constant ponytail

The ponytail is an evergreen hairstyle. One that is reliable can be dressed up or down and looks good. However, wearing your hair in a ponytail too much can cause oil and dirt to accumulate under the ponytail holder. That accumulation can leave hair greasy in appearance.

Over shampooing 

Shampooing your hair results in clean hair that is stripped of excess oils. If your hair over-shampooed, then your body will make up for the oils it’s lacking. The constant regeneration of oils may produce oily-looking hair. 

Hairstyles for Greasy Hair 

The following hairstyles are ones that you can do when you have a greasy hair day!

1.Pretty Plaits

To achieve this flattering hairstyle for greasy hair, section the front of your hair in the desired part. To add a polished look, a side part always looks chic. Next, braid the small front section into one or more small french braids. 

This style can be elevated by taking the rest of your hair and putting it into a low-slung ponytail or curling the ends—next, pin plaits where you would like them to sit. 

For a special occasion: tease hair at the crown before curling or pulling into a ponytail. Finish your look off with a spritz of your favorite hairspray.

2.The Side Part 

This is a go-to hairstyle for greasy hair for so many because of its elegance. Simply part your hair to your favored side and tousle it into place. For a sleek look, style ends with a round brush for beach waves. 

Finish off with a texture spray. The side part adds fullness to thinner hair and will mask greasy roots. For further help with the greasy look, a few sprays of dry shampoo at your roots will help.
