Oily roots & dry ends

Do you have dry mid-lengths but roots that get greasy quickly?

That’s the definition of combination hair. Sebum, which is produced by the sebaceous glands on the scalp, builds up at the roots but doesn’t travel down the lengths. As they’re not protected by sebum, they become dehydrated and dry.

Understanding the characteristics of combination hair

Are you struggling with oily roots and dry ends? Don't panic, you're far from alone. This type of hair, known as "combination," is often the result of a scalp that produces too much sebum (because you overstimulate it with harsh shampoos or washing too frequently), while your lengths lack moisture. Add to that external aggressors (hair dryer, pollution, sun...) and voilà: oily roots, dry ends. To get your hair back in balance, you need a targeted, gentle, and regular routine.

A skincare routine to balance oily roots and dry ends

The key is to adapt your products according to the different areas of your scalp and hair lengths. Start with a natural shampoo. A purifying product to regulate excess sebum, such as a clay-based treatment or one with plant extracts. You can also adopt a oily hair care targeted for the roots, massaging it well into the scalp before rinsing.

For the lengths and ends, it's a different story: they need nourishment! Apply a dry hair care or a nourishing hair mask. Apply only to the lengths of your hair. Leave on for a few minutes to deeply hydrate without making your roots greasy. And don't forget your leave-in conditioner (oil or light serum) to protect your ends every day.

Tips for maintaining a balanced scalp and hair ends

Space out the washes2 to 3 times a week is sufficient. In between, use a clean dry shampoo if needed.
Massage your scalp: before or during shampooing, to stimulate circulation without being harsh.
Rinse with lukewarm waterToo hot, it stimulates sebum; too cold, it closes the scales without rinsing properly.
Protect your ends: dry them at a low temperature and use a heat protectant.
Adapt your routine to the seasons: in winter, we focus on nutrition; in summer, we boost hydration.

With the right techniques and a personalized routine, you can regain a fresh scalp and soft, shiny lengths.

FAQs

How do I choose a shampoo that's suitable for my oily roots and dry ends?
Use a gentle, sulfate-free, sebum-regulating shampoo. And don't hesitate to double wash your hair: purify your scalp, then pamper your ends with a targeted treatment.

What home remedies can help balance my hair?
A green clay root mask and a jojoba oil mask for the lengths of your hair can do the trick occasionally. But for a consistent routine, it's best to opt for professionally formulated products.

When should you consult a professional?
If your hair remains oily despite proper care, or if your scalp is itchy, flaky, or red, a dermatologist or hairdresser can help you adjust your routine.

How to space out washes for oily hair?
Do it gradually: start by skipping one day between washes, then two. Use a mattifying powder or dry shampoo in between, and tie your hair up to make the transition easier.

By taking care of your roots as well as your ends, you'll see: combination hair can also shine with health!
