sticky extremely greasy hair!
by sk01, Sep 11, 2009 10:58AM
Im 24 years old and gave birth to my daughter 4 months ago. Other than loosing some hair I havent had any other problems. Around 4 weeks ago i washed my hair as usual and as I was drying it I noticed it was very sticky and greasy looking around the top of my head . I tried to re- wash but this made no difference. I thought maybe this was the result of using a hair product although I rarely use anything just the occasional hair moose maybe evey couple of weeks depeding on styling. I have tried to wash my hair with different shampoo but nothing is working! My hair fels sticky after washing and is very greasy aroud the roots and three inces into my hair from the top. I am so worried as I have never had greasy hair or skin. I have never suffered from acne either. I have thick dry hair normally and am puzzled by this latest development. Does anyone know how to treat this or has anyone suffered from somthing similar? I am open to suggestions and would welcome any advice as having stick hair is so distressing, its is so greasy I caanot even go out as it looks so bad.

There is no medical condition as such which causes oiliness of the hair. The only thing that can explain your oiliness of hair is the hormonal changes that occur in the body after delivery. I would suggest you to clean your hair frequently with a mild shampoo(you can use the ones for oily hair) and don’t apply any conditioner on the hair. Also you can shampoo twice during each wash and apply shampoo on the scalp without piling the hair on top.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
