Below you will find some hints and tips to help manage and care for oily hair:

* Use a mild shampoo, shampoo for oily hair, shampoo for dry scalp, or a baby shampoo

* Wash oily hair daily but concentrate the shampoo on the hair away from the scalp to remove the excess oil from the hair not on the scalp itself because this can dry the scalp even more.

* Always rinse your hair thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water because soap residue can make oily hair worse.

* Use a hot oil treatment directly on the scalp itself gently massaging the oil into the scalp and then rinsing the oily hair thoroughly afterward.

* If hair is very oily do not use conditioner at all or use conditioner only on the tips or ends of the hair.

* Oily hair is likely shiny enough so avoid using hair gloss gel or shine hair care products on oily hair.

* Don’t brush oily hair frequently because brushing oily hair can actually cause the scalp to produce more oil.

* Don’t rub or scratch your scalp when you have oily hair because stimulating the scalp like this can produce more oil.

* Diluted lemon juice can provide similar results to the vinegar rinse for oily hair with a much more pleasant scent.
