For many women, fatty hair is a real problem. Fatty hair looks pretty unpleasant throughout the year, but especially in summer and in winter, as well as in those days when the weather is rainy and the humidity is high. Some specialists suppose that too fatty hair is a result of some hormonal imbalances, which cause extra fat formation. However, no matter what causes this problem in every particular situation, let’s see what can we do in order to make fatty hair look better and prettier.
1. If it is possible, choose a nice short haircut. If you have too fatty hair, long hair should not be your choice. As extra fatty hair requires frequent washing and styling, it is more practical to have short hair which can be washed faster and with less efforts.
2. Use only special shampoos and hair styling products designed for fatty hair. Such hair care products are specially created for everyday usage to clean your hair softly and not to damage natural environment of your scalp. If you will start using a usual shampoo, you can end up with suffering from increased fattiness of your hair.
3. Choose to have permanent curling. This help your hair to look less fatty because curly hair does not touch fatty areas of the scalp. You can choose having small or large curls, depending on your face shape and the hair style you like.
4. Choose good hair brushes and do not forget to wash them frequently. If your hair has extra fat, you should choose a comb or hair brush made from some anti-static material (like wood, etc.). Comb your hair gently every morning and every time after washing it.
5. Use some natural cosmetics to decrease your hair fat. The extracts of such plants as rosemary, caraway or equisetum can be used for rinsing your hair (1-2 teaspoon for 5 liters of water) and help you to lower the activity or sebaceous glands on your scalp. You can use sage tea (1-2 tablespoons of dried sage boil in 400 ml of water for 10-15 minutes, cool down the tea and rinse your hair in it after washing). Also, you can use burdock oil, which is one of the best herbal remedies to improve your hair condition.
