Part 2: Washed Out Wednesday

Bad limp hair days attack. It’s bad enough that humidity kills styling, but bad limp hair days take the cake.

Even after daily washing, does your hair fall flat and greasy by lunch time? You might be the victim of product build-up. Invest in an anti-residue shampoo or shampoos that are meant to wash out gunk from your hair. Gunk meaning the remnants of your styling products and leave-in conditioners. Depending on your hairy situation, you can alternate your normal shampoo with the anti-residue shampoo every 3 days or once a week. If you find your hair still becoming too greasy too soon, consider changing your normal shampoo to something less luxuriant or creamy.

One trick to reduce greasiness is to apply your hair conditioner away from the roots of your hair and scalp. The lower ends of your hair tends to be dryer and in need of conditioning, not the roots. Though I must say, the lack of directions on the bottles does not help anyone- ” ..apply on wet hair after shampooing. Rinse clear.”

I’ll recommend the Anti-Residue Shampoo from Neutrogena – value for money and suitable for all hair types (and no – they’re not paying me to say this..yet :) ).
