Treatment For Oily Hair

Kevin Pederson



The principle of care for oily hair and scalp condition is the
same as used for oily skin condition. The hair routine aims at
removing the excess oil and to exfoliate skin cells which clog
up and suffocate the hair follicles in our scalp. Infection
usually erupts in the blocked hair follicles which lead to hair
loss and other scalp disorders.



The emphasis is laid on cleansing and toning routines. The
cleansing routine involves washing and rinsing the hair. Since
the hair has to be washed as frequently as it gets dirty and
oily, a natural shampoo on a formulation of herbs such as Amla,
Shikakai, Trifala is ideal.



The ideal shampoo is always gentle in action, thorough in
dissolving the grime and at the same time, not harsh like a
detergent shampoo. Massaging hair and scalp is important for the
wellbeing as well as good growth of the hair. For dry hair,
scalp massaging with oil is recommended. For oily hair, massage
with toning lotion is suitable. A two minute brushing, stroking
and combing routine is sufficient massage exercise for the
scalp.



Oily hair home cure: Shampoo Cleanser Recipe 1. Buy some
shikakai powder from the market. Powder some green grams and
fenugreek (methi) seeds. Mix two portions of shikakai powder,
one portion of green gram flour and half portion of Fenugreek
powder and keep it. When required, mix a tablespoon of this
mixture in the white of an egg and use it as a shampoo. It does
not lather like a soap, or shampoo, but cleanses the hair.



2. Take some dry soap nuts (reetha) and soak them in water
overnight. Mash them in the morning and strain the soapy
solution. Add a teaspoon of shikakai powder and wash your hair.



Oily hair home remedy: A Mint Infusion Recipe 1. If you are
unable to make the shampoo cleanser at home, use this infusion
recipe. Prepare it and mix it in the shampoo you use. To make
the infusion, boil two handfuls of mint (pudina) in
one-and-a-half glass of water for 20 minutes. Strain the
solution and mix in a 300 ml bottle of shampoo.



Oily hair treatment: The Toning Lotion Mix a tablespoon of Malt
Vinegar in a glass of water. Add a pinch of salt in it. Dab two
tablespoons of it on your scalp and massage it with your finger
tips twice a week. Leave the lotion on for one hour. Rinse with
cool water, brush and set your hair.



Treating Oily hair: Other tips 1. Do not use detergent shampoos.
2. Do not use oils unless the cleansing routine leaves your hair
extremely dry. 3. Regularly massage your scalp.
