HOW STYLING PRODUCTS CAN AFFECT GREASY HAIR

AGE AND DANDRUFF – WHAT’S THE LINK?

Styling products may help you get a great hairstyle, shine and hold, but if your hair tends to be a little greasy, here are a few lookouts to help keep that style fresh.

Styling products are used to enhance your hair’s overall look, whether it’s using a gel, wax or mousse.

However, if you’re not cleansing properly between styles, the product could build-up on your hair and scalp and if you have greasy hair it could make the problem worse.

Styling product buildup

Styling products help you achieve a fashionable look, but some might contain ingredients that can irritate a sensitive scalp.

If you’re new to styling and you’re not sure what to use, or you’ve struggled to find a solution that works for you, try Head & Shoulders’ new men’s styling range. Designed to be kind to your scalp, without compromising on results, this collection will help you nail the style without the worries.

Even if you’re not typically sensitive to an ingredient, Head & Shoulders’ men’s styling collection’s formulated to be extra kind to your scalp and those strands. Just make sure you cleanse thoroughly between styles to avoid product build-up that can irritation.

Sometimes styling product build-up can be visible too, and can be easily mistaken for dandruff.

The effect on greasy hair

If you have greasy or oily hair, make sure you cleanse tresses before using styling products to avoid a greasy look. Because greasy hair is already oily, adding styling products can make it appear worse by trapping dirt and oil.

So you need to make sure to get rid of any residue and styling products left on your hair and scalp each day.
