Oily scalp care and dry hair ends treatment

Oily scalp and dry hair ends? For many women, it is a true disaster. What cosmetics to use in such situation, regenerating or cleansing ones? Or maybe try out something different? If you do not have an idea for a comprehensive care of oily scalp and dry ends of the strands, then check how experienced hair stylists cope with this problem.

Why does the scalp get oily?

Scalp oiliness can be caused by various reasons. The most common ones include: hormonal imbalance, lack of vitamins and micronutrients, poor diet, inappropriate care and diseases. As a matter of fact, good nutrition is a key factor in proper hair condition. Dairy products, processed foods, small amounts of fruit and vegetables can affect the oily skin of the scalp.

Shampoos, hydrolates a remedy for oily scalp 

To wash your scalp, you will need purifying and moisturising shampoos. However, they should not contain SLS or other strong detergents that could contribute to increased sebum secretion. You can use such a mild shampoo as often as necessary. Also, a good idea is to combine clays with water.

Moreover, hydrolates will also be a great solution in regard to oily scalp care. You can add half a spoon of apple cider vinegar, white clay, rice or bamboo powder, mica or starch to the floral water. Then, just apply it to the scalp with an atomiser. The valuable ingredients of this home-made product provide refreshing and antibacterial properties. They will also absorb excess sebum.

Treatment for damaged hair ends 

Damaged tips should be protected at all times, during washing and on daily basis. A shampoo that removes sebum could dry the ends of the hair and increase splitting. Therefore, before washing, it is enough to apply a cosmetic that will create a protective coating and prevent damage.

Hair ends oiling, applying mask or ampoules

Applying oils to the ends of the strands is a good way to protect them from the effects of a drying shampoo. The oil is to be applied one hour before washing. We can do the same trick with the mask. However, before washing the hair, make sure to wet the ends of the hair and lather the mask. Furthermore, the cover protecting the hair against damage will also be provided by ampoules. These, unlike masks and oil, should be used more often.
