Oily hair affects a lot of people, and there are a number of hair care products on the market for this condition. Unfortunately, many of these shampoos tend to treat this condition with ingredients that have a high detergent content. This puts the sebacious glands into overdrive, and makes the problem even worse.
There are several factors that could be causing the sebacious glands to create excessive oil, including hormones, genetics, puberty, and menopause. What I suggest is that you take a two prong approach to the problem. Start on the inside, by taking a daily Apple Cider tablet, available at health food stores. Try eating a diet that contains more acidic fruits. This will help as well. While creating an internal balance, you need to treat the external problem using a shampoo and creme rinse that is free of detergents and Sodium Lauryl Sulphates.
Chalet's Shampoo and creme rinse all have a Natural Apple Cider in them, along with a Rosemary tea. Both of these ingredients are excellent for your dilema. They also have Citric acid, which is a natural astringent. All of Chalet's products are made from all vegetable or citric derived ingredients, which makes them very concentrated and pure. I assure you they have no detergents, SLS products, or chemicals of any kind.
Once you get on a schedule, I am sure that you will be very suprised at the body, bounce, shine, and health of you hair.
Start with a natural, gentle shampoo like the one at Chalet. Do not scrub your scalp. Vigorous scrubbing will activate the sebacious glands. Massage it gently until it reaches a rich lather, and leave it on the scalp for 5 minutes. Since there are no detergents in Chalet products, there is no need to worry about how long the shampoo is contacting the scalp. Rinse well after 5 minutes. Apply a very Small amount of Chalet Creme Rinse, and very gently pull through the ends of your hair. Keep it away from the scalp, and rinse well. Blot excess water from the hair when drying, always keeping in mind that any vigorous action on the scalp will send a signal to the sebacious glands to work. This goes for combing and brushing as well. Stay away from blowdryers completely, as well as any styling products that contain alcohol.
Shampoo every second day to start, moving up to every third day after the first two weeks. You really shouldn't have to wash your hair more than twice a week to maintain clean, healthy hair. If your scalp feels oily while you are adapting to this routine, dab some Witch Hazel to the roots with a cotton pad. I Hope this information helps. If the current approach to your excess oil problem isn't helping, give this program a try. There are many articles on my website concerning skin care and hair care. I hope you enjoy them!
