If you are one of those people who wash and style their hair every morning, but within a few hours they start looking sticky and messy, you have oily hair!

Oily hair can be a total mess. They spoil your look and make it appear like you haven’t washed your hair in days!

Here are a few simple things you can do to make them manageable.

1. Shampoo Everyday – People with oily hair should shampoo their hair everyday to keep them clean. Normal hair needs a shampoo that will have a pH between 4.5 and 6.7. But, oily hair would need a shampoo that is beyond this pH range.

2. Aloe Vera Gel – Use aloe vera gel to get rid of oily hair. You can mix the aloe vera gel with any mild shampoo to get rid of oily hair. Leave it on for a few minutes and then wash it off.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar – You should use only diluted apple cider vinegar. Add two to three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar in a mug of water and mix it well. Apply it in your roots and wash it off after 30 minutes.

4. Dry Shampoo – If you do not have the time to go for a wet shampoo bath as you are running out of time, you can try a dry shampoo process. It is basically using talcum powder in your hair. You can also use corn starch instead of talc.

5. Lemon Juice – Take a lemon and extract the juice out of it. Mix this lemon juice in a cup of water and add three teaspoons of honey. Mix well and allow this mixture to dissolve completely. Apply it to your hair roots and leave it on for 10 minutes. Then wash it off.
