8 Surprising Mistakes That Can Make Your Hair Greasy

Overwashing

Daily washing strips the scalp of natural oils, prompting it to produce more, leading to greasier hair. Opt for a balanced washing routine.

Incorrect Shampoo

Using the wrong shampoo can imbalance the scalp's oil production. Choose a suitable formula for your hair type and concerns.

Heavy Conditioner

Applying conditioner near the scalp can weigh down hair and make it greasier. Focus on the ends and mid-lengths instead.

Hot Water Showers

Hot water stimulates oil production. Switch to lukewarm water for hair washing to prevent excess oiliness.

Skipping Scalp Massage

Massaging the scalp stimulates blood flow and distributes oils. Skipping this step can lead to greasy roots.

Overuse of Styling Products

Too much styling product can build up, trapping oil and causing greasiness. Use sparingly and clarify your hair regularly.

Ignoring Hairbrush Hygiene

Dirty brushes transfer oil and product buildup back to your hair. Clean your brush regularly to prevent excess grease.

Tight Hairstyles

Tight ponytails or braids can trap oil at the scalp, leading to greasy roots. Opt for looser styles to prevent this.
