Even the most stylish and sophisticated styling will look sloppy and not attractive if it is done on oily hair. Someone is lucky - you can wash your hair 1-2 times a week and at the same time not suffer from greasy hair. And someone inherited or for other reasons got overly active work of the sebaceous glands, because of which the appearance of the hairstyle deteriorates the very next day after washing. Should I get upset or just try to solve the problem in simple ways? Let's clarify why hair grows fast at the roots on the second day and what to do in such cases?
Why does hair grow greasy on the second day??
Writing off everything for excessively active work of the sebaceous glands, we simply summarize all the reasons that provoked it. In fact, oily scalp is a consequence of several factors:
• changes in hormonal levels,
• unbalanced nutrition, lack of vitamins and healthy elements,
• disorders of the central nervous system,
• disorders in the digestive system and intestines,
• regular hair dryer with hair dryer,
• constant styling using a large amount of cosmetics for hair (gel, foam, wax, varnish),
• frequent wearing of hats.
In addition, cosmetologists say that the problem can be hidden not only inside the body. One of the main enemies of healthy and beautiful hair is stress and lack of sleep, smoking, and alcohol. Constant ingestion of toxins and toxic substances can in no way positively affect the appearance.
Another reason is puberty, in the process of which an optimal ratio of female and male hormones is formed. Excessive appearance of fatty substances in the hair roots is observed in the period before the onset of menstruation in women, due to all the same hormonal fluctuations.
The fact that the sebaceous glands produce fatty secretions is considered to be absolutely normal. They are transferred to the hair roots from the skin, thereby worsening their appearance a day after washing. Some may observe the opposite picture: if the skin fat is not produced enough, then the skin and hair become dry, brittle, thinned. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on normalizing and optimizing the sebaceous glands.
What to do if the hair at the roots quickly grow fat?
If the problem has become too urgent, and the hair does look unhealthy at all, then it is better to contact a trichologist. He will prescribe the necessary drug therapy and examinations that will help determine the root cause of this situation.
If the hair is prone to fat and on the second day lose their attractiveness, you can use simple folk remedies. For example, use herbs in the form of decoctions and infusions, water acidified with vinegar or lemon juice. It is necessary to wash the head with warm water of a comfortable temperature in order not to irritate the scalp and not to destroy the fatty protective layer. Rinsing with such compositions will reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, and the hair will be soft and shiny.
Those who believe that you need to wash your hair with greasy hair as rarely as possible are mistaken. It will not bring a positive result, because in such an environment, fungus and bacteria develop faster, causing even an unpleasant smell from hair. In addition, the curls dull, thinning due to blockage of the ducts in the hair bulb with fat accumulations. A moderate washing frequency - 2-3 times a week is the best way to maintain healthy hair.
Useful tips for oily hair:
• you should not constantly dry your washed hair with a hair dryer - let the strands dry in a natural way with minimal use of styling products,
• do not use the comb too often, as the scallops cause an increase in blood circulation and activate the sebaceous glands even more, while distributing fatty secretions along the entire length of the hair,
• with fast greasy hair, a short haircut is appropriate - so the styling looks neater
• reduce fatty foods in the diet.
You can fight with high fat content and folk methods:
• apply fresh juice from the leaves of aloe on the scalp or smear it with sour milk for 30 minutes, wrapping it with a film, then wash your hair, as usual, without drying it with a hairdryer,
• use a mask: 2 tablespoons of blue clay (sold in any pharmacy) mix with 1 tablespoon of vinegar (it is better to use apple, but table salt will do), repeat the procedure 2 times a week before washing,
• dry hair roots can be masked from the juice of 1 leaf of aloe and 1 tablespoon of honey, the mixture is applied on the head for 30 minutes before washing,
• use for rinsing decoction of chamomile, oak bark, peppermint, horsetail and lovage, all parts in equal proportions mix and chop, brew 2 tablespoons in 1 liter of boiling water for an hour (more convenient in a thermos).
Cosmetologists recommend rubbing kefir or serum into hair roots, evenly distributing the composition over the strands. This mask contributes to the narrowing of pores on the skin, and also removes impurities and has an antiseptic effect. A paste made from mustard powder and warm water, will eliminate the fat and shine. In the set of hair care products should include coconut oil. It allows you to restore the hair structure, improve the curls, and also eliminates the excessive formation of fat.
Why do hair quickly become greasy at the roots?

Why hair is greasy? How to get rid of greasy hair?
Oily hair at the roots - what to do?
Hair quickly becomes greasy - why is this happening? This problem may appear as early as several hours after shampooing. In most cases, the problem of oily hair is innate. Due to the fact that the scalp is rather oily, the hair has the ability to lose a fresh look several hours after washing.
However, there are often situations when the skin and the roots of the hair begin to suddenly get fat, although before such a problem was not observed. Why does hair become so? To solve the problem, you need to know the sources and causes of the appearance of fat content:
Hormonal disbalance. Very often it is hormonal failure that affects the condition of hair and skin. Do not forget about regular check-ups at the doctor and testing!
Gastrointestinal problems. We are what we eat. Take care of your health and nutrition, it is this that affects your well-being, appearance and grooming. If you notice that the condition of your hair has deteriorated and your skin has become oily, be sure to consult your gastroenterologist.
Improper nutrition. And again, let's talk about nutrition: eliminate fatty, salty, fried dishes from your diet, adding to the diet a lot of fish, fresh fruits, vegetables, berries and greens.
Eat right, exercise, not experiencing health problems, but the hair is still very oily? Perhaps the problem is in the wrong selection of care products.
Use hair spray. It is he who is able not only to give the hair a beautiful volume and firmness to the hairstyle, but also to dry the scalp a little, thereby saving it from excessive fat content.
Use mousses and foams for laying. Also, like lacquer, these types of styling products will help to preserve the freshness of the hair and their bulk styling.
Clay hair masks. They will have a beneficial effect on the scalp, as well as on the hair roots, due to the effective absorbing properties of clay.
After you have selected the necessary care for your hair, learn how to properly wash your hair.
Do not wash your hair before bedtime! Of course, evening hair washing is very convenient - without the confusion, you can manage to make different masks, as well as allow the hair to dry naturally. However, it is at night that the sebaceous glands begin to work very actively, which means that in the morning the freshness of the hair will simply disappear.
Watch the water temperature. Do not wash your hair with cold and too hot water - it will only worsen their condition. Always heat water to a warm, comfortable state.
Rinse your hair more carefully. Many girls apply shampoo only once, believing that this will be enough. However, oily hair is better to apply shampoo and wash hair twice. Be sure to carefully wash off the shampoo with the entire length of the hair, paying particular attention to the scalp areas and roots.
Discard the use of high-temperature devices. This will have a beneficial effect not only on the lack of fat content of the roots, but also on the condition of the hair as a whole. That hair dryer is the cause of increased dryness of the ends of the hair.
For regular shampooing, choose shampoos designed specifically for oily hair. The most popular ingredient of such shampoos is clay. It is able to absorb excess sebum to the maximum, which in turn affects the freshness of the hair. Today, cosmetic brands produce a large assortment of shampoos designed to combat oily hair.
The leaders in this category are:
1. Schauma shampoo "7 herbs for normal and oily hair" - due to the high content of herbs, as well as extracts of chamomile, hops and rosemary, shampoo perfectly cleans very oily hair, giving them volume and eliminating fat.

Many different oils, such as caraway, aloe vera, cotton, shea and olive, will help to moisturize the length of the hair, saving them from dry ends.
All of them are aimed at combating greasy hair, giving them volume, softness and a feeling of freshness for a long time. Choose shampoo based on your own preferences and hair condition.
Follow all the rules of oily hair care, and the result will not keep you waiting long. Oily hair is not a problem, but just a reason for more thorough care, as well as the normalization of nutrition. Stay beautiful and healthy inside and out!

- Oily scalp. This feature is handed down to people. People with this problem are most difficult to cope with an unpleasant situation. Requires proper and regular care.
- Frequent washing. Paradoxically, one of the frequent reasons why hairs quickly become dirty and greasy is washing too often. Because of it, a defensive reaction occurs, resulting in the sebaceous glands secrete more fat than is required.

What to do if hair gets dirty quickly: expert recommendations
You can learn many of the causes of the problem from the trichologist. The specialist deals with the physiology and morphology of the hair and scalp as a whole. We have prepared the best recommendations of trichologists to help deal with a delicate problem:
- Increase the amount of minerals and vitamins in the diet. Especially important in this case, vitamins A and E, affecting the synthesis of collagen, strengthen the structure and condition of the hair. These substances can be obtained from food or vitamin complexes.
- Washing with hot water will irritate the skin. She reacts to this stress by sebum production. It is recommended to wash in warm water, and even better boiled, and not hard tap. An excessively frequent washing is able to aggravate the situation - every day: because of this, the hair grows fat even faster.
- It is necessary to choose wisely shampoo and other means.

Apply the powder on the partings with a wide brush (for example, for powder), and then comb it out. It carefully absorbs excess fat, resulting in hair gaining a fresh and voluminous look. Also stop washing your hair with hot water and start rinsing it with one of the herbal remedies we described.
If you follow all these recommendations, you can manage to train your hair for rarer washing in 3-5 weeks.
Bad shampoo
And why are the hair, roots, greasy, dry ends? To do this, you need a lot of things. But first, pay attention to the means by which you wash your head.
Most likely, this may be the wrong shampoo, which consists of harmful components that wash the protective layer from the scalp. When this happens, the sebaceous glands begin to release fat in a double volume in order to protect the skin, and the result is a completely unaesthetic appearance. As a result, the roots may be greasy, hair is dry. To do in this case, especially nothing is needed, it will be enough just to change the shampoo to one that includes only natural substances. Then the condition of the hair in a short period of time is normalized, the sebaceous glands will no longer secrete sebum, and the problem will resolve itself.
Combing
If the hair is oily at the roots, what to do? How to care for curls? Pay attention to the combing. Probably most of the owners of hair with high fat content of the roots do not even think about how important it is to properly comb them. The fact is that during this procedure, sebum is evenly distributed along the entire length of the hair, thereby removing excess fat from the roots.
The main thing is to gently comb the head, so as not to damage the skin and so vulnerable and not to provoke the repeated production of protective substances. Another moment is time. Fully distribute all the fat from the roots to the ends can only be combed at least 7-10 minutes. If less attention is paid to the procedure, the hair will remain very oily at the roots, and at the ends will most likely be overdried. In addition, the correct combing allows you to not so often wash your hair, because it will no longer seem dirty.
Blow Drying
There may be another reason for very oily hair at the roots. What to do then? First you need to determine the causes. Perhaps the problem arises due to the use of a hair dryer. Streams of hot air provoke sebaceous glands to produce a new portion of subcutaneous fat.
Thus, the girl, having just washed her hair, herself makes her dirty again.
