Your body has sebaceous oil glands that secrete sebum, which is the body's natural way of moisturizing and waterproofing your skin and hair. Without getting too technical, your body processes the fat you eat and that's in your body and then expresses it through the hair shaft.
So your hair is meant to be a little oily.
Back in the day, really as recently as the 1950s, women weren't even washing their own hair! They were going to the salon once a week, having their hair professionally washed and set. We're actually seeing a trend back this way with the blow-out.
But let's take one day at a time...
Step one: Shampoo your hair
I love Redken's Color Extend shampoo. If you don't have colored hair, I am shocked! (it seems most everyone has some highlights or lowlights these days!) But if your hair is au- natural, than use a shampoo of your choice, mild and a little moisturizing, perhaps like Redken's All Soft
.So Shampoo your hair as you normally would, then condition, but AVOID YOUR ROOTS. Remember those sebaceous glands, they're going to do it for you! Rinse, dry, style as usual.
