No matter what hair style you have, keeping it in great condition can sometimes be hard work. Oily hair can cause problems and turn your 'normally' beautiful hair, dull and dingy. The trick to stopping or at least slowing down oily hair is to know what the cause is and adjust accordingly. You could ensure that you condition only the ends of your hair which gives added moisture to the part of your hair with the least amount of moisture. If you do not treat oily hair, you may end up with acne on your face and back, as if you touch your hair, you will be touching the oil, which you will then spread onto other parts of your body, causing the skin to become oily too. Rinsing well should be a habit in your personal hygiene ritual.

The opposite also applies. Many women suffer from dry hair which can be equally as problematic as oily hair. Use a shampoo that contains humectants (like panthenol or glycerin) which will encourage water to bind to your hair to reduce dryness. To protect your hair from chlorine damage when swimming, apply baby oil before entering the pool. Dry frizzy hair is a pain that can be prevented by shampooing your hair thoroughly and then applying a rinse out conditioner to eliminate static electricity, and adding moisture and shine. When you have dry hair, do not wash your hair every day. Let your scalp's natural oils help treat your hair.
