My hair is fine, straight, and blonde and i wash it daily. I know that you shouldn't wash hair daily, and I want to make the transition to washing every other day, but my hair gets greasy so fast and is really easy to tell is greasy. Are there any tricks to help me with the transition?
i have the same issue!! first off a good a dry shampoo will help and absorb all the oil (try the bars from lush). Also, you can also rinse your hair and just use conditioner at the ends and not use shampoo. Those are just some of the things i like to do hope that helps! http://misscitychic.wordpress.com/
Hi Genna,I have the same problem,i have thick hair so it's a real pain but i've learn a trick that really helps- When you wash your hair (every 2 days i advise) Only dampen your hair (because oil and water dont mix,they seperate) before you shampoo (a shampoo with a moustrising formula,will help with the oil) and really scrub into your scalp then wash it off as best you can afterwards condition your hair on the ends with little Product and work your way up to your roots so not as much product gets into your roots.If you follow this routine everytime you wash your hair this should really help as it did mine!
Baby powder! Its a simple but effective remedy! I do it :) put some baby powder in your hands and run your fingers through your hair, then use a brush to comb it out!
Suave makes a really great dry shampoo. You just apply it to the roots of your hair when its feeling a little greasy and it will aborb any unwanted oils from your hair! Also, If you wash your hair TOO much that may be the cause of all the extra oil production. Its like your hair is drying out and trying to survive so it makes oils for itself haha. I also have oily hair and do find that inbetween washes dry shampoo helps SO much! Hope this has helped you =)

Another thing you can try is baby powder. Put a tiny bit on the scalp and then brush it through; it'll absorb the oils.
