Oily Hair Remedies

When you're having a problem with greasy or oily hair, you may not think of this as a symptom of dry scalp.  Your hair gets that oily feel by the end of the day or the very next day after washing.  Why would this mean I have a dry scalp?  When your scalp is dry, your body works harder to provide it with the extra oils and nourishment it needs.  All bodies produce a substance known as sebum – a type of oil. If your body produces too much sebum it can result in a build-up of this oil, which then results in greasy hair.  So what could be a cause of dry scalp resulting in oily hair?  Interestingly, one possibility has proven to be a deficiency in essential fatty acids.  Essential fatty acids must be obtained through diet because the body cannot make them.  Essential fatty acids increase the absorption of vitamins and minerals, nourish the skin, hair and nails, promote proper nerve functioning; help produce hormones; ensure normal growth and development and prevent and treat disease.  A good supplement to take to provide the essential fatty acids we need each day is Ultimate EFA Plus.  It is a proprietary blend of essential fatty acids from Borage, Flax and Fish Oils.  Maybe you are already taking a fish oil supplement.  Is your body absorbing it?  If you have digestive issues, you may not be absorbing.  A supplement for digestion which can help with absorption is Ultimate Flora FX.  It's a blend of pre- and probiotics  formulated to support healthy digestive function and optimal nutrient absorption and metabolism.  So if you've tried many different shampoos and other remedies to combat oily hair that don't work, think about supplying your body with the nutrition it needs for healthy hair.
