Certain brush habits can actually help distribute natural oils away from roots. Brush your hair from scalp to ends with a natural bristle brush. This will spread the healthy scalp oils to the hair ends \u2013 an extra bonus- as the bottom of your hair tends to be drier and in need of more conditioning. You could also try gently backcombing at the roots to add volume to your hair and prevent it from laying on the scalp and appearing greasier than it really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Shampoo tips for oily hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do I have oily hair? Did you know, the right form of shampooing can greatly help decrease the amount of oil in your hair? At Prose, our <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/products\/custom-shampoo\">customized shampoos<\/a> contain powerful scalp-soothing ingredients such as kale, spirulina, peppermint, jujube tree bark, and wintergreen extract, which deep-clean the hair without over-stripping its natural oils.<\/p><p>To effectively wash your hair, work a little bit of shampoo into your roots and scalp. You should make sure to be as gentle as possible as forceful scrubbing will only aggravate the scalp and cause it to release more excess oil. Slowly add more water to your scalp to create more suds. Finish by allowing the shampoo to flow through to the ends of your hair as you rinse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Conditioning your hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people with greasy hair tend to skip conditioner, thinking it could contribute to their oily roots. However, if you are using conditioner in the right way, it shouldn\u2019t be an issue. Instead of applying conditioner from roots to ends, try applying a quarter amount to the bottom half of your hair (mid-shaft to ends.) This simple approach not only prevents products from weighing down your hair but also helps combat your oily roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Finding the right hairstyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in need of a quick-fix, there are a few hairstyles that are actually ideal for oilier tresses. For instance, you can pull your hair back into a sleek, sophisticated low bun or ponytail. Alternatively, you can pile hair high in a chic bun which will cleverly draw attention away from an oily scalp. While they may not be long-term solutions, incorporating low-key styling tips into your routine could hide third-day hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Limiting your use of heat tools\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not realize it, but heat and hot air also encourage glands to produce more sebum. Straightening through heat application can also stimulate oil production, as can handling your hair excessively while using irons. Try styling your hair with bursts of cool air and, if possible, limit your use of heated hair appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Try the Prose consultation\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In need of professional assistance when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/blog\/how-to-deal-oily-hair.php\">managing your oily hair<\/a>?
