Our biggest beauty gripe? Greasy hair.
Greasy hair is the result of the sebaceous glands on your scalp producing oil. The oil is then absorbed by your hair and too much of it can give a greasy appearance.
The oil in itself isn't bad for the hair - in fact, it makes hair lustrous, healthy and strong, but too much oil can cause a build up that leaves hair looking limp and overly slick.Different hair types will appear greasy after different lengths of time – those with coarse or textured hair may be able to leave hair for a week and it still looks fresh. Those with fine or thin hair, however, may find their hair looks greasy after just one day.
It's all to do with the amount of oil your scalp produces, as well as how well your hair can carry that oil. The temptation when you have oily roots is to wash your hair more regularly, but washing your hair every day can actually contribute to greasy roots. That's because once you've trained your hair into a regular rinse, it can feel icky and greasy if you try and eke an extra day out of it.
