image1.Care
Of Oily Hair And Scalp Condition:
The principle of care for
oily hair and scalp condition is the same as used
for oily skin condition.The routine aims at removing
the excess oil and to exfoliate skin cells which
clogs up and suffocate the hair follicles in our
scalp.The emphasis is laid on cleansing and toning
routines.Since the hair has to be washed as frequently
as it gets dirty and oily, a natural shampoo on
a formulation of herbs such as amla, shikakai, trijla
is ideal.Massaging hair and scalp is important for
the well being as well as good growth of the hair.For
dry hair, scalp massaging with oil is recommended.For
oily hair massaging with toning lotion is suitable.
