Hi, recently my hair has been very oily right after I wash and blow it dry. It doesn't happen all the time and varies on frequency; however I have tried a million different things to try and pinpoint what variable may be causing this. I have switched shampoos and conditioners, only conditioning the ends, not conditioning at all, changing brushes and combs, showered in different showers with different water (literally from one side of the country to the other!), yet there doesn't seem to be any kind of discernible factor that leads to the oily roots. My hair is very long, and I haven't treated/colored it in over a year. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I'm out of ideas. Help! Christie.

Hi Christie, there are a few things that can cause oily hair, and believe it or not, washing your hair can be one of them so I'd like to ask how often do you shampoo your hair? Every second day should be normal; however, some people need to shampoo their hair every day. If you find that your hair is getting oily after one day, then you should be shampooing it every day. Another question I have is whether you are shampooing once or twice. I recommend that you do shampoo twice as doing it once will not always give you a total clean and can still leave oil on your scalp. Make sure when you are washing your hair that you scrub your scalp and focus mainly on this. When you rinse your hair out, the shampoo will then run through your ends and pick up all the impurities and wash them away when you rinse. Give this a go and see if your hair improves.
