Oily Scalp & Fine / Thin Hair Tips - Low Effort | Kbeautyhobbit

Hey everyone, it's lucy from keep beautyhobbit.com. Today'S video is all about my tips for fine hair, especially if you have an oily scalp like i do. I don't claim to be a pro at hair by any means. In fact, i am sure if you tried hard enough or not even hard, you could pinpoint lots of things wrong with my hair. However, i've struggled with it for so many years and i used to shampoo my hair twice a day because it would get just so oily. It never had any volume and just looked awful, and i finally found some things that work for me to make it manageable and also are not a lot of effort, and so i want to share those with you. But please please, please give me your best tips in the comments as well and let me know what works for you and especially, if you're, some sort of hair care professional. I would absolutely love your advice, i'm always willing and looking to learn. These are in absolutely no particular order if you are a dry, shampoo user, which a lot of us are myself included. One tip is to use your dry shampoo, while your hair is still clean. So if you usually use dry shampoo on the morning of let's say day, two meaning the next day after you wash put that in your hair before bed on day one. So, while your hair is still clean spray that in don't brush it out, don't massage it and don't do anything just spray on your dry shampoo, i usually braid my hair before bed so do whatever it is. You do with your hair before bed and go to sleep and in the morning brush it out you'll, see that your hair looks so clean and has more volume by doing that versus waking up with oily or greasy hair and then doing damage control with dry shampoo. It just works so well, and in my experience you also end up needing way less dry shampoo than you would if you were already applying it to oily hair. My next tip is to wash as needed, meaning if your hair looks dirty just wash it. I think hair training is a myth and there are a lot of dermatologists that seem to agree with that. It seems to me and again, i'm not a professional that they're kind of these two camps of thoughts they're. On one side, we have dermatologists like dr dre, who say wash your hair when you need to, and even dr pimple popper i love her channel. But years ago she had the series where she had other doctors on her channel as well, and they had this video about hair, and one of them was saying the same thing that you you don't train your hair. You can't really train your hair to go longer between washes. Yes, if you're over stripping your hair, it could potentially be producing too much oil and then switching your products might improve the situation. But if your hair or your scalp is dirty just wash it taking on more dry shampoo, more dry, shampoo, more dry shampoo by just trying to go a week or a week and a half without washing it can actually hinder the hair growth. It can cause all that buildup. It can cause this yeast growth on there and all of that is harmful to the hair, and i don't know about you. My hair is super super fine. I don't have any of it to spare like. I need to keep what i have so i don't want it to break or not grow because i don't want to wash it. You know as frequently as it needs it. So this is vastly individual, it completely depends on your hair type and what you can handle or what your hair can handle, but my advice is wash as needed. Don'T just go by these arbitrary rules that washing your hair every day is bad. It'S not bad! If that's, what your scalp needs do that, so my hair is very straight, very, very, very fine and i found over the years that a blunt cut with minimal or no layers is what makes it look the best, because when i get a layers, yes, it might Look okay here in the top layers, as we get to that lowest the longest layer. There'S no hair left. It looks sad. It looks like a makeup brush. That'S been used too many years and has lost most of its hair, so it just looks so weird and then, when i get a cut, that's not blunt and and layers, it just looks ripped it. Some people with thick hair can get away with awesome, awesome cuts and all this feathering and all that stuff, and i'm not one of those people and i think, a lot of people who have really fine hair are just not those people. So if you have really fine thin hair, try a blunt cut and see what you think, because to me it actually looks a lot better and also for me having my hair. Not super long helps as well, because the longer it is the heavier it gets. The more it pulls right here and the less volume i have at the root, whereas when it's shorter, it's a lot easier to keep it looking like it has volume at the roots, because there's just not all that weight pulling it down brush and touch your hair. Less - and i don't mean that brushing is bad, it's really not bad, but for me the more i handle my hair, the more i touch it, the more i comb it, the more i handle it. It just gets oilier quicker because the scalp is oily. The rest of shaft is not, but all of that handling just makes it dirty faster. I used to comb and brush my hair all the time. Every day, multiple times a day, i still brush it every day. I don't want it tangled, but i put it in braid or put it up like. It is right now to keep it out of my face and eliminate some of that need for constant touching and it actually stays clean longer. I can usually go about every other day of washing, sometimes it's once in three days, but just probably not any further than that for my specific hair, because i work out quite a bit and i sweat and my scalp sweats, and i just don't want all of That sitting on the scalp for more than necessary, but yeah like every other day, seems to be good. For me, next tip is to get products specifically for oily hair. I have some examples here. These aren't necessarily my holy grails but they're working well for me, um. This one is the one fermented organic seeds shampoo for oily hair. It also comes in a smaller size. You don't have to commit to this ginormous bottle right away, but this works well at getting the scalp clean and it doesn't seem to strip anything definitely with an oily scalp, just like with oily face skin. You don't want to just go with really harsh surfactants or really really harsh cleansing agents and over strip the skin, because it might produce what i call revenge, oil and just make everything worse, but something gentle yet effective works. And then i never apply any treatments. The conditioners or masks to the roots, because that weighs the fine hair down and sometimes will make it look oily even right. After washing, i go from the ear level down right now, i'm using this innisfree conditioner and it's really good and light, and it smells nice and fresh kind of minty as far as dry shampoo. My favorite one is this per cup by amica, not a korean brand, but if you know any korean or asian brands. Let me know this one's really really good. It'S on the pricey side, but it's worth it. It doesn't leave any sort of white residue. Even in my red hair, it's just so good. If i do use anything on the scalp, i focus on scalp specific products, for example this one. This is the enough project, sweet peach, delight scalp treatment and it smells really good. I have a review i'll put in the description box, put a link to it in the description box, but yeah if you're doing something with the scalp get something that is scalp specific and then maybe the first time you use it. Don'T do it on a work night where you have to be back in office or somewhere the next day, just in case it makes your hair look oily or greasy or flat. My last tip is to find some heatless hairstyles that could provide you some volume without damaging the hair, there's nothing wrong with blow drying, and i blow dry my hair today, and definitely the hair looks better and more voluminous when you blow dry it. But i don't necessarily want to heat style it beyond that, so i don't want to be curling it if i don't have to unless it's a special occasion, so a lot of the times i'll put it in a braid i'll sleep in a braid or i'll put It up right now with a clip, but the cool thing happens when you take that out. You get some it's not dramatic, but there's some texture, it's better with braids to get some ways that kind of make everything look less straight and sad, and i i'm yet to find a product. I'Ve looked at a bunch of them and i saw that bathrobe like trick with wrapping your hair at night, but i haven't found anything that seemed comfortable to sleep on that i could put my hair in and wake up with, heatless curls. So if you know something, let me know but braids usually work just as well, and they give little waves. You can actually see that in a lot of my videos, especially when i had longer hair before i donated it. Thank you very much for watching.
