Wat te doen tegen vet haar?
An oily scalp is a sign of excessive sebum production , it can be hereditary, but can also be triggered by hormonal fluctuations, stress, heat or incorrect use of hair products. Ironically, aggressive shampoos (with SLS sulfate) that clean very strongly can actually increase sebum production, because your scalp goes on the defensive and thinks: "Help, I'm drying out!" The result: greasy hair , often within one day of washing.
Fortunately, you can restore your scalp’s balance with a well-considered routine – from the inside out and with the right care. Are you looking for the best shampoo for oily scalp or a natural solution for oily hair ? Read on
Waarom wordt mijn haar zo snel vet?
- You naturally have an oilier scalp, so genetically .
- You use products that unbalance your scalp.
How do you know what is happening to you? A simple self-check helps: do you use a shampoo with strong sulphates (such as SLS) , silicones or drying alcohol? Then there is a good chance that your scalp is reacting to these ingredients. They strip your skin of natural oils, which makes your sebaceous glands work harder. About 70% of people with oily hair get this from unsuitable hair products. Only 30% have a genetically oily scalp.
Our tip: switch to a mild, natural shampoo without sulfates or silicones – like our Calm Breeze or Dewy Spring . Give your scalp some time to recover and see if you notice a difference after two to four weeks.
Is your oily scalp genetic? For some people, it helps to postpone your washing a little (for example, every other day instead of daily), so that you do not constantly trigger your scalp. It is important that you cleanse thoroughly when washing and choose gentle products that do not stimulate your sebum production , such as the Serene shampoo .
simpele oplossing: écht wassen
Many people wash their hair but forget to really wash their scalp. It sounds obvious – shampoo, rinse, done – but to effectively treat oily hair , you need to massage your scalp with your fingertips and nail blades (not your nails!) and really take your time. Think of it as a mini scrub session like you would do for your face.
Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo for oily hair , like our Calm Breeze (with organic aloe vera and a luxurious vetiver scent) or the fresh Dewy Spring variant. These natural shampoos for oily hair cleanse thoroughly but gently, without drying out your scalp and prevent your sebaceous glands from overcompensating.
Do you suffer from sensitivity or itching in addition to greasy hair? Then the Serene shampoo is ideal. It soothes and restores, with organic plum extract, radish root ferment filtrate and linden flower extract.
