I’m a beauty buff & know three mistakes that are producing more grease in your hair – here’s what to do instead
A BEAUTY pro has revealed you could be doing three things that are in turn causing your hair to become more greasy.
But the good news is that the bad hair habits are easy to curb, and social media influencer Kelsey Griffin unveiled exactly what you should be doing instead.
Kelsey, who specialises in “beauty and fashion” content, explained that she was always trying to think of ways to “make this hair last as long as possible.”
And she’d picked up on certain instances that always made her hair – and everyone else’s – look and feel so much more greasy.
Kelsey, who can be found on TikTok at @kelseygriffinn, said: “There are three things that you might be doing that are making your hair greasier than it needs to be.”
But what are they and what can we do instead?
Kelsey explained: “Number one is leaving your hair down when it doesn’t need to be.
“If you’re just chilling at home, clip your hair out of your face,” she continued as she used a large clip to pull back the sides of her hair that were previously touching her face.
She continued: “Because the oils from your face and your hands are constantly touching it.
“Just clip it out of the way, or put it in a ponytail. Get it off your face and out of the way.”
She added: “If no-one is seeing you, you have no reason to have your hair down.”
The glossy-haired brunette then went on to tell her 171k plus social media followers the second thing she’d noticed.
Kelsey said: “You might not be rinsing all of your shampoo out.”
She then touched the top of her head, as she said: “Listen, when you’re in the shower, the water is primarily hitting this portion of your head. It’s not hitting any of the underneath.
“So when you’re in the shower, you want to split your hair into sections and let the water run.”
The effects of this? Kelsey answered: “Your hair is going to feel so much cleaner and last so much longer because you’re not going to have a bunch of shampoo stuck in it.”
But as well as mixing up your hair care routine and how you do it, Kelsey had one more piece of valuable advice.
She concluded: “Number three might be a little controversial, but if you’re air drying your hair, your hair will likely get greasier faster versus blow drying.
“I’m not saying you have to do a full on blowout every time you wash your hair, but if you just quickly blow dry your roots – like I’m talking 2-3 minutes – I bet you you are going to notice a difference with how long your hair lasts.”
