Using oils regularly allows you to shine your hair, moisturize the scalp and promote growth. However, oily products can be difficult to remove. You can usually get rid of them by shampooing and applying conditioner as usual, but using a clarifying shampoo can be even more effective. There are also many home remedies you can try to wash your hair, including apple cider vinegar, baking soda, aloe vera, or eggs.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Use Shampoo and Conditioner
Step 1. Wash your hair several times
Use your usual shampoo to wash them in the shower. Massage it thoroughly into the scalp with the help of your fingers and rinse it well with lukewarm water. Repeat the process one or two more times if necessary.
After washing, apply some conditioner to your hair and leave it on for five minutes before rinsing it off
Step 2. If regular shampoo doesn't work, use a clarifying one
Clarifying shampoos have the function of thoroughly cleansing the hair, removing all residues and accumulations of dirt that have formed over time and which are often difficult to remove with normal shampoos. This type of product should be used just like a traditional shampoo. Just apply it to wet hair, massage it into the scalp and lengths, then rinse it well.
After rinsing off the clarifying shampoo, be sure to wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Clarifying shampoo can actually remove many vitamins and minerals from the stem, causing dryness. Using moisturizing shampoos and conditioners helps recover lost nutrients
Step 3. Try using dry shampoo to absorb excess oil
Before using it, wipe your lengths with a clean, dry towel. Lightly massage your hair from root to tip. This procedure helps to absorb at least part of the superficial sebum. Now apply the dry shampoo. Spray it on your hair and work it on your scalp.
- It is recommended to use a natural bristle brush to help distribute the build-up of sebum.
- If you continue to have oily hair, try applying baby powder after using the dry shampoo. Massage it into your scalp until the dust is completely gone.
Step 4. Use dish soap for stubborn sebum
This product is very effective for removing dirt residue from dishes, but it can also be useful for the hair! Just apply two tablespoons (30 ml), massaging it on the scalp and lengths. Rinse well to make sure you get rid of it completely - if you leave it on for too long, it can damage your hair.
- Use a dish soap designed for sensitive skin to be gentle on your hair.
- After rinsing off the detergent, remember to wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. This helps replenish lost nutrients during washing.
Step 5. After shampooing, use your usual conditioner
After washing, you should apply conditioner as usual. Massage it into the scalp with your fingers and distribute it to the tips.
Leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse it well with warm water
Step 6. Use a leave-in conditioner
Once you have thoroughly washed your hair and eliminated even the most stubborn oil residues, use a leave-in conditioner. This product is very practical because it should not be rinsed or disposed of in other ways.
- Leave-in conditioners are available in the form of sprays or creams.
- If you have trouble getting oily substances out of your hair, you can use either a regular or a leave-in conditioner.
Method 2 of 2: Using Home Remedies
Step 1. Make a paste with baking soda
Pour a handful of baking soda on your hand and add water until it forms a paste. Apply it evenly from root to tip. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse it off with warm water.
You may need to make larger amounts of paste to make sure you cover the entire hair
Step 2. Rinse with apple cider vinegar
Mix equal parts of water and apple cider vinegar, then apply the solution to your hair using a spray bottle. Massage it into your scalp, cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the vinegar on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Apply conditioner to your hair to recreate a correct hydrolipidic balance and eliminate the vinegar smell.
Alternatively, you can rinse your hair using regular white vinegar
Step 3. Use aloe vera
Aloe vera contains many minerals and enzymes that help remove oils from the hair. You can apply it directly to your hair and leave it on for 15 minutes. At this point, rinse them with warm water.
Alternatively, you can mix a teaspoon of aloe vera gel with two tablespoons (30 ml) of your usual shampoo and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Blend the ingredients evenly, apply the mixture to your hair and leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing it off
Step 4. Rinse your hair with mint and rosemary
Pour two cups of water into a saucepan and set the heat to high. While the water heats up, add a two-inch sprig of rosemary and a tablespoon of mint leaves. Let it boil for a few minutes. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the solution and let it cool.
Once the solution is cool enough to touch, use it to remove oil from your hair. Massage it into your scalp and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with warm water
Step 5. Make an egg solution
Break an egg and pour its contents into a bowl. Beat it as if you were making scrambled eggs, so that the yolk and egg white blend completely. Add two tablespoons of cold water and keep stirring. Apply the mixture on the scalp with the help of your fingers.
- Leave it on for five to 10 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water.
- You could also massage about a teaspoon of Castile soap into your scalp. It is not necessary to distribute it to the tips. Rinse off using lukewarm water.
