Cure for Greasy Hair:

A lot of people the world over have greasy hair. They might wash and condition their hair in the morning, and by evening, their hair looks limp and oily. If you have the same problem, then it’s likely that you have greasy hair and need to do something about it.

Note: Oil is produced naturally by the scalp to protect the shafts of hair from breaking. The oil is necessary to keep the scalp healthy and for that natural sheen. But sometimes the glands produce too much of oil that can make your hair look greasy. You might have greasy hair because:

• It runs in your family and is hereditary.
• Hormonal fluctuations can increase the greasiness of the hair. Women may experience excessive greasiness during periods, while teenagers with their surging hormones can also experience the same problem.
• If you have been using androgenic hormones, then your body might produce excessive oil.
• People with fine hair experience greasiness as their hair strands are thin and light, and less oil can turn the hair greasy.
• A diet that is partial to oily foods can cause greasiness too.
