I'm thinking that maybe I'm going to try
to not wash my hair for an entire week
you know to my Lou my darling hi guys
its Lou in today's video we are going to
talk about greasy hair and that's not
fun
those of us with greasy hair might
consider ourselves as having an oily
scalp and some of us get that oily scalp
a little faster than others I love the
feeling of freshly washed hair but for
me that doesn't last very long it
literally takes less than a day for my
hair to start showing signs of being
greasy well lately I have been looking
up what causes this and what we can do
about it and it turns out there's quite
a few things first let's get dry shampoo
out of the way yeah dry shampoo works
but it only works a little and for not
very long at least in my experience I
know a girl that used dry shampoo I
think five days in a row and I would ask
her once the last time you washed your
hair in say Thursday and I was very
surprised by this but that's not the
case for me I can use it one day get rid
of some of that grief but the next day I
just can't do it again it has a weird
texture that I don't enjoy now there are
minor reasons that your hair could be
getting greasy so quickly and those are
the foods you eat the temperature of the
water you use on your hair and how much
and where you use conditioner so let's
go over those before we talk about the
big one the big one okay first let's
talk about the temperature of the water
that you use to wash your hair if that
temperature is too hot it can irritate
your scalp and create oils faster so the
solution there of course is to use a
medium temperature water around 100
degrees now I don't know about you guys
but I don't have any sort of thermometer
or temperature device in my shower but
just don't make it too hot okay before
shampoo let's talk about conditioner
conditioner is that second step to
washing your hair that makes it less
tangled and easier to brush
so it stands to reason that if we put a
lot of that stuff on our scalp even just
the residue of conditioner is going to
make our hair feel a little bit greasy
so the best thing to do there and this
is what I've been doing since I've had
greasy hair for years and years is I
just take conditioner and I put it only
at the ends and if there's anything left
on my hands I just kind of swipe it over
and when you rinse your hair after that
you can feel that it's smooth from
conditioner but not in a heavy way
so just condition your ends all right
shampoos now there are organic natural
and even how many champ O's that are
better for your hair and this is because
regular shampoos that you can buy at the
grocery store usually contain sulfates
sulfates are chemicals that remove the
grease from your hair and scalp now that
may seem like a good thing but it isn't
always so your hair and scouts natural
reaction to you washing your hair is hey
I've been stripped of all of my natural
oils and all these sulfates are killing
me so let me pump out some more sebum
so next time you're purchasing a shampoo
check the ingredients and see if you see
that sulfate word chances are you will
I've gotten into buying only organic
shampoo and conditioner and they
actually do have it at my grocery store
it is a little more expensive well a lot
but I think it is worth it if my hair
isn't gonna lube up so fast lube so
here's the big reason that hair gets so
greasy so fast washing your hair too
often yeah that might seem like the
opposite of what is true but when you
wash your hair too often your scalp gets
overstimulated and it responds in
creating more oil instead of less
so that cycle with shampoo creates a
supply and demand situation where you
wash your hair because it's greasy and
it gets greasy because you washed your
hair and then you want to wash your hair
because it's greasy god I think it was
2012 there was this trend or this thing
called no cooling and pooing is short
for sham
going I don't think that's a word that
you should shorten no or call it no
shamming leave you out of it anyway that
was where people just didn't wash their
hair and when you get in the shower you
wet it like you normally would but no
washing now if I did that I think I
pretty much would end up with hair that
always looks wet with grease in fact I
think I've already done that just not
even on purpose but it turns out that
your hair actually gets used to not
being washed so often and reacts with
creating less goo yeah oil sebum I may
actually go a week seven days without
washing my hair and document the gross
Ness of it and share it with you all I
would be anxious to see what that looks
like at the end of seven days maybe not
anxious to see it but wanting it to be
over so I could wash it just in case
editing didn't do a good job of sorting
this all out let's go over what we can
do to avoid getting greasy hair so fast
make sure the water you use to rinse
your hair is not too hot
try to use shampoos without sulfates
when you use conditioner put it mainly
on the ends of your hair and finally
don't wash your hair so often your hair
and scalp will get used to it at first
you might just see your hair getting
greasy or in grease here every day but
as it gets used to not being cleansed
every day especially with sulfates it
will stay cleaner longer ie less greasy
