Navigating through summer with naturally fine hair prone to becoming greasy can be a challenge. This, coupled with an oily scalp that is exacerbated in the heat and a commitment to regularly applying sunscreen, often leads to stringy and lifeless locks. Many find themselves carrying travel-sized dry shampoo cans in their handbags for quick fixes; however, there are some other tips from experts that could keep your greasy hair under control.
A recent chat with Pascal Schymick, founder of About Hair in Düsseldorf, yielded insight into alternate choices over standard shampoo. Schymick recommends a transition to clay-based shampoos such as Kérastase’s Balancing Shampoo. Labeled as a deep cleanser, these shampoos work wonders on greasy hair by removing excess oil effectively. While it’s usually recommended to use this item once weekly, if you have quickly greasing hair like mine, Schymick suggests using it more frequently. Since following his advice of using it every alternate wash, I’ve noticed fewer grease and better volume in my locks despite washing them every third day.
A common apprehension while trying such deep-cleansing products remains damaging the dryer ends of the hair further. This worry intensifies particularly for those who have been regular with highlighting treatments that tend to damage hair ends significantly. To counteract this problem, Schymick recommends mixing products from different ranges tailored for different sections of your hair.
He wisely points out that long or lightened hair has varying needs at different lengths and one must factor that while choosing the right products to use—especially when dealing separately with oily scalp and dry ends simultaneously.
In conclusion, nailing down a perfect summer routine for fine-haired individuals doesn’t have to be painstakingly difficult or complicated—it merely requires an enlightened awareness about product selections suitable specifically for varied needs throughout the length of your mane. By making thoughtful selections ranging from clay-based deep cleansing shampoos for the scalp to more nourishing treatments aimed at taking care of the dry ends, one can definitely navigate through summer with more volume and less grease.
