When it comes to your hair, you’ve probably been told over and over again not to wash it every single day. Washing too often can lead to weak strands and breakage, and it can even make your scalp oilier than it would be if you washed less frequently. However, if you are someone who has oily hair, it may be impossible to go a day without washing. In today’s post, we will provide you with a few home remedies that you can try to help combat your oily locks.

Perfecting your hair care routine can be a struggle, especially if you find yourself buying hundreds of dollars’ worth of products trying to find the right one.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Believe it or not, apple cider vinegar may be the solution you’ve been looking for! In some cases, your hair may become oily due to a build-up of a fungus called malassezia. This fungus is naturally found on the scalp and is completely normal. However, it does have the potential to grow out of control, which can irritate your scalp, make it oily, and cause dandruff. Apple cider vinegar is a substance that most people have at home, and it has the ability to kill fungus and bacteria. If you’re unsure what may be causing your oily hair, then using a small amount of apple cider vinegar may be worth a shot. Simply dilute two or three tablespoons in a cup of water and then use the mixture in your hair. To make the process easier, we recommend using a spray bottle to ensure that you fully saturate your roots and scalp. Let the apple cider vinegar sit for two to three minutes and then rinse!

Clean Your Styling Tools

How often have you cleaned your brush or your comb? For most people, the answer is probably never. You use your styling tools every day, even when your hair is not the cleanest, so it makes sense that dirty brushes and combs may be contributing to your oily hair. Cleaning your hairbrushes and combs is easier than you may think, and it can help keep any excess dirt and oils at bay. First, remove as much hair as you can from your brush, and don’t be afraid to use other tools or even scissors to aid your endeavor. Once you’ve removed all of the hair, create a solution with water, a small amount of shampoo, and a little baking soda. Apply the solution to your styling tools using a toothbrush or another device that can help you really scrub. Once everything is cleansed, rinse it off and lay flat to dry.
