help sticky hair

after washing my hair i notice some of it in the back feels sticky and brushing only pulls it out

I had the same issue. It first started at the crown of my head. I read within this discussion that Listerine worked. Sadly after I used it, the stickiness went from the crown to the whole top part of my head. However, after I bought Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree oil shampoo from Sally Beauty Supply, about 80% of the stickiness went away! Then, a couple days later, I washed it again with that shampoo and it was gone. I honestly think that this is some kind of fungus on the scalp. Tea tree should help. Good luck guys. I understand your frustration. On the bright side, even though I only had this ordeal for about a week, I have been sticky free for a year now.

Hello,
Excessive perspiration can sometimes lead to stickiness of hair. There is no medical condition as such which causes oiliness of the hair. Do clean your hair frequently with a shampoo especially available for oily hair. Do not apply any conditioner on the hair. Shampoo the hair more frequently. In case the symptoms persist then consult a dermatologist. I sincerely hope it helps. Do keep us posted. Take care and regards!
