Oily hair care
Most people, seeing that their hair often gets dirty, try to wash them as often as possible. Previously, all experts argued that it was harmful and thus the hair quickly becomes greasy, but now everyone has come to the opposite opinion - it’s better to have a clean head than to walk untidy.
There are several rules for washing oily hair and head:

The modern cosmetic industry produces a large number of shampoos for oily hair type. But do not choose it, based on advertising, you should read the composition. If you choose an inappropriate shampoo, then you will not be able to get rid of the problem.
Pay attention to shampoos that are transparent, white, yellow. As is known, the presence of brightness means harmful and sometimes dangerous dyes and other preservatives. Shampoos for this type of hair must necessarily include natural and herbal ingredients - herbal extracts, algae, zinc and vitamins of groups A, C and K.
