Constantly greasy hair
I am so frustrated with my thin/fine hair I want to cry and shave it all off. It’s always greasy and I feel like I look like balding swamp witch all the time. If I wash it at night, I’m a slimy greaseball by the next morning. If I wash it in the morning, I’m greasy by the mid-afternoon. It only takes a matter of hours for it to go from clean and soft (and a little fluffy) to greasy, slimy, and stuck to my scalp.
My confidence is way down because of it and I think it’s also causing issues with my skin (if I keep my hair off my face, my skin improves).
I’m hoping someone can help me with some advice or product help or something that will allow me to be able to wash my hair and be able to leave it without emptying half a bottle of dry shampoo into it to cover the greasiness.
Currently using: Eleven Volumising Shampoo + Conditioner (only condition the ends from ears down) Hazel&Blondie Heat protection spray (Hair dyer on low heat)
Products I’ve been using/cycling through recently that don’t seem to have helped: Eleven Volume Foam (on roots) NAK Volume foam (on roots) EVO Salty Dog Salt Spray (all over before blow drying) Eleven texture spray (just on front)
Products that help but only cover the issue, not fix it: Eleven Volume Powder Batiste dry shampoo
I need help with what to do so I can get out of the cycle of:
Washing my hair only for it to be greasy as hell fewer than 12 hours later.
Having to fill it with powders and dry shampoo because it’s so greasy.
Washing it the next day because it’s full of products.
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Forever grateful for anyone that can help me out here.
