Home Remedies for Oily Hair

Oily hair can be the result of a diet high in fat. Hair’s sebaceous glands that are fed mostly fried foods, red meat, and dairy products are going to over produce oil. This results in greasy hair. The first thing to do is to attack the problem from the inside and cut the fat intake. You can then try the following home remedies for oily hair.

Lemon Rinse for Oily Hair
Squeeze the juice of two lemons in two cups of distilled water and put it in a container (those used for mustard and ketchup). After washing the hair with shampoo, dry it with a towel, and apply the solution to the hair massaging the scalp. Leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse.

Shave Grass Tea
Boil a cup of distilled water. Put two tablespoons of dried shavegrass leaves in a glass container. Add distilled water and let stand for 15 minutes. Strain and put in a bottle like the one in the previous recipe and use the same way as the lemon rinse.

Beer Rinse Treatment for Oily Hair
After washing hair with shampoo give your hair a final rinse with beer and then water.

Egg yolk 
Mix two egg yolks with a few drops of lemon. Apply to wet hair and leave for a few minutes. Rinse.

Vinegar rinse
Dilute vinegar in water and apply to hair as a final rinse after shampoo.

Listerine Mouth Wash to Get Rid of Greasy Hair
Some people say dabbing a cotton ball with Listerine on your hair roots can control oil production, and make hair grow faster.

Witch hazel
Make a mixture of equal parts witch hazel and mouth wash and apply to the scalp with a cotton ball after showering.
