An abnormally oily scalp makes your hair feel greasy and dirty. Most people affected by this don’t know how to solve it and often end up exacerbating the problem. Even though the causes for oily hair can be complex, solving it is quite simple.
Our scalp contains glands which naturally produce sebum to hydrate the scalp and protect the hair. Excessive sebum production is the cause of oily hair, making it feel greasy and giving it a slick appearance. Those affected tend to over-wash their hair and rely on aggressive products to neutralise the grease. Unfortunately, it will only make matters worse as daily shampooing can strip your scalp of its natural oils, so it produces even more sebum to compensate. Washing your hair with NEWSHA’S Daily Ritual Shampoo 2–3 times a week is enough to remove the oily residue.
It is important that you make time for a thorough hair regime. Apply the shampoo on wet hair paying special attention to the oily roots, emulsify and rinse thoroughly. The effect can be intensified by applying the product directly onto dry hair once a week. A gentle massage of the scalp will also help remove excess sebum from the glands.
The Daily Ritual Shampoo contains herbal ingredients such as rosemary extracts, which restore your scalp’s microbiome balance and prevent it from having itchy skin irritations or dandruff. Don’t expect to see results immediately after changing your hair care products – it may take some time before your body is able to rebalance itself. Nevertheless, this sustainable strategy makes more sense than the use of aggressive products for a supposedly quick fix that will cause damage to your hair and skin.
An excessively oily scalp can impair the health of your hair, but it can also lead to dry ends. Even though conditioner is known for its rich and moisturising effect you should not skip out on necessary nourishment. Conditioner helps to protect the hair structure from harmful external factors. Our shampoo has a regenerative effect which can be intensified with our High-Performance Leave-In Conditioner with marula extracts. With its lightweight formula it protects your hair structure without weighing it down.
Promote a healthy balance through a balanced lifestyle
Your genes may contribute to how much sebum your glands produce but oily hair can be a direct result of your lifestyle habits and everyday beauty routine. A happy & healthy life equals happy & healthy hair!
