Oily Scalp

Some of us suffer an oily scalp, making the hair limp and dull in the bargain. The strands of your hair aren’t free to flow, they stick to one another. Shampooing has to be done on a regular basis for the same. The oiliness never leaves, and comes back in 48-72 hour, and if you are sick, angry or under stress; oiliness shows and more!

Oily scalp treatment and care

[sc:mediad]

Stay away from hair conditioning products and leave-on or live-in conditioners. Oily hair is the hot seat for grime, dirt and bacteria; dandruff too. Baby hair dies because of the secreted oils left on the scalp for a long time. Thrice a week, the scalp and hair needs to be cleansed with a very mild herbal based shampoo. Diet wise, the individual should indulge in non-oily foods and plenty of leafy greens.

Dry Scalp

How would you know if your scalp is DRY? A simple test; place a tissue on the partitioning of your hair (the same can be done for other hair and scalp types too), and leave it for a few seconds. Remove the tissue; if you see nothing (wetness), your hair is dry. Touch your hair strands, do you feel the dryness and does it look brittle? Is it rough to feel when touched? This hair type is extremely tough to manage, and has plenty of frizz and split-ends to add to the woes. Dull and sans elasticity, dry hair is a nightmare. The dry scalp is flaky and shouldn’t be confused with dandruff. Your hair specialist would be best to advise what to do in such cases.

Stay away from chemical treatments, products and hair services; they make the dry hair look dead, dull, brittle and limp. A well-balanced diet (speak to a nutritionist) would help bring back shiny, soft and lively hair. Thrice a week oiling is a must, with a hot turban wrap for twenty minutes to allow the hair and scalp soak in the goodness of moisture and oil.
