Hair

I am having hair issues.  I dont know why the change all of a sudden. I have always washed my hair every other day.  Lately my hair seems to be greasy on day 2, which isn't normal.  I haven't changed any hair products.  I dont even put anything on my hair once it's washed....no hair spray, gel etc. 

Am I having these issues because I am getting older?  Anyone notice a hair change around 30ish or am I just crazy?

Re: Hair

  • I might not be much help cause the chances of me making it 2 days without a wash is slim. My hair hates day 2. But I have noticed that I can make it part of the day if I'm not handling it as much. Are you running your fingers thru it more or anything?

  • My hair has got really greasey since I have got my bfp.
  • I have no clue, but jealous you could go every other day! I used to, but it seemed like the day I turned 18 it had to be washed everyday. I can shower in the morning, and by bedtime it starts the greasy feel, no matter what shampoo condition combo I use. It could just be one of those things that change as you get older.

    I use Head and Shoulders shampoo and conditoner every other day because it helps control the psorisis I have on my scalp. I have been using it for about a year. Every 4 bottles or so I need to get a different brand. Then after that is gone I can switch back with no issues.

  • No help here...I feel my hair just gets so greasy.  There's nooo way I could ever wash it every other day.  Sometimes I feel I need to wash it twice a day! (I don't because I know that would be bad for it...but it def. feels that way sometimes)

  • Maybe it's the water in your new house (hard vs. soft or something). I use a dry shampoo to get me through to day 3.  Day 2 is my good hair day.  This is the one I use, from Sephora.

  • Mrs. Skiz I think I will change the brand of head & shoulders....I use that every time b/c of dry scalp. 

    I might buy some dry shampoo too!  I would love to go to day 3!  Yes, the water could be the difference.  Forgot about that. I wish I could go a week between washes!  I hate washing my hair & drying it.

  • I blame the weather!  My hair has been extra greasy lately!

    But no really.... umm... maybe the water, or touching your hair too much.  I have to mix up shampoo every once in a while because I feel like it makes my head itch after a while and then I am touching my hair all the time.

  • Oh and T-Gel makes a version for greasy hair.
  • I read somewhere that your hair changes around every 7 years.  I've noticed lately that sections of my hair aren't as curly as they used to be.  I'm with Gerrie that I only wash my hair every 3 days.

    If you're not using conditioner maybe you should try using some - your hair might be dry and your body overcompensating by producing oil.  If you are using conditioner try putting it only on your ends...maybe you're not rinsing it out enough?
