I all the time carry a travel-sized dry shampoo in my purse, however a hairdresser just lately gave me some nice recommendation for maintaining my greasy hair beneath management. Since I’ve been following his ideas, my hair doesn’t get greasy practically as shortly because it used to.
The greatest professional ideas for greasy hair
Use a deep cleaning shampoo.
.Instead of normal difficulty shampoo, hairdresser Pascal Schymick, founding father of About Hair in Düsseldorf, recommends washing hair with a clay-based formulation. Schymick makes use of one from Kérastase. “The Balancing Shampoo is meant as a deep cleanser. It’s really useful that you simply use it as soon as every week, nevertheless, in case your hair turns into greasy shortly, you need to use the product extra typically.” I’ve been utilizing it each different wash ever since. Not solely have I observed that my hair isn’t as greasy (washing each third day), it additionally has much more quantity.
Consider the scalp individually.
One purpose I’ve shied away from deep-cleansing merchandise up to now – regardless of my oily scalp – is the dry ends of my hair, that are fairly broken by common highlighting. Schymick’s resolution is mixing merchandise from totally different ranges.
“Long hair, particularly lightened hair, has utterly totally different wants on the lengths of the hair than on the scalp. You ought to take into account each in isolation and choose the merchandise accordingly.” I’ve been utilizing the Blond Absolu vary from Kérastase after shampooing: the masks, conditioner and and leave-in care.
