1.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 alma, 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.

moisture in the hair.
