DIY Tips for Excessively Oily Hair Care Naturally
- It is absolutely essential to stimulate circulation via scalp massage.
- Regular brushing is also vital to distribute natural oils and promote healthy hair growth.
- Add just a drop of one of the following essential oils to a little bit of mild shampoo to discourage excess oil production by the scalp: lemon, lemongrass, cedarwood, cypress, sage, patchouli.
- Use Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder to condition hair, reduce oil and eliminate dandruff.
- Avoid harsh shampoos containing detergents that dry hair too much, in turn your scalp responds by producing even more oil to compensate. (Good shampoo cleans without stripping your natural oils or irritating your eyes).
- Use a sage tea rinse to eliminate excess oil and reduce dandruff.
- Use an apple cider vinegar rinse (ACV rinse) regularly, as needed.
Simple Treatments and Herbal Shampoos for Oily Hair Care
Apply a muddy paste of Multani Clay Powder (mixed w/water) to hair and scalp. Leave on for 30 minutes. Using warm water, completely rinse the mud from hair and scalp.
Then choose one of the following:
Lustrous Henna® Shampoo Powder is 100% natural and premixed with hibiscus flower and other natural herbal extracts. Just add a small amount of water and make a paste. Apply to hair. Wait 5-10 minutes and rinse out.
Pure Reetha Powder Organic Wash Mixture: Add 12 drops each chamomile and lavender essential oils to 2 tbsps. Reetha Powder made into a paste with a small amount of water. Apply to hair. Wait 5-10 minutes and rinse out.
Apple Cider Vinegar Herbal Rinse for Oily Hair Care
An ACV or apple cider vinegar rinse is quite beneficial for treating oily hair. It rinses off excess oil and discourages dandruff. It also cuts soap and shampoo residue, leaving hair soft, smooth and naturally shiny. No worries: the vinegar smell does not remain after rinsing.
1 pint boiling water
1 teaspoon 3 or more: burdock root, calendula flowers, chamomile flowers, lavender flowers, lemongrass, sage leaves
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Pour boiling water over herbs and steep for about 30 minutes. Strain and add vinegar. Let cool. Pour over scalp and hair as final rinse after shampooing (with either shampoo suggested below). Leave on without rinsing out.
DIY Quick Dry Shampoo
Divide hair into sections and fluff a little Multani Clay Powder through each section. Rub in well and leave on for 10 minutes. Brush out thoroughly with a clean brush. The Multani Clay Powder will absorb most of the oil and dirt from hair. (Can be done if it’s inconvenient to do traditional shampoo).
