Make greasy, limp locks come to life with everyday ingredients.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Witch hazel
Mouthwash
Cotton pads
Mild shampoo
1/2 tsp. aloe vera gel
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
Distilled water
A blow dryer
Baby powder
1 shot vodka (optional)

Step 1: Pre-shampoo astringent

Apply an astringent before you shampoo. Mix equal parts witch hazel and mouthwash and apply to the scalp with cotton pads.

Step 2: Make degreasing shampoo

Make your own degreasing shampoo by mixing mild shampoo with aloe vera gel and lemon juice. Lather and leave shampoo on for five minutes.

Tip: Use transparent shampoo. It has fewer ingredients that weigh down oily hair.

Step 3: Rinse

Use an apple cider rinse after you shampoo. Mix apple cider vinegar with a quart of distilled water. This gets rid of residue.

Tip: You can also mix a shot of vodka with one quart water for a degreasing rinse.

Step 4: Dry hair

Blow-dry your hair in the opposite direction of growth to give oily hair much needed body.

Step 5: Freshen with baby powder

Sprinkle baby powder onto your scalp between washes. Wait five minutes and comb through.

  • @maysia66 All pharmacies sell witch hazel.

  • This looks terrible! I rather just take a shower thanks

  • since when is witch hazel an everyday ingredient?

  • does it work on pubes as well?

  • This is kinda pointless just use dry shampoo for those days when you really do t have time to mix all that stuff get in the shower and wash your hair.. Just take a normal shower if you have that much time.

  • Why the heck do I care about "GREASE" when i just want to know how to get this oil out.

  • @lalabunnybr: that's not greasy, that's normal. You have greasy hair if it gets greasy one day after washing it.

  • I've always had oily hair since a lil girl, I've just learned to live with it. While my mom and sis only have to wash their hair once a week, I have to wash mine every 2-3 days :/

    I have to say tho I used to have to wash it everyday and got rly bad dandruff sometimes, but since I started using organic products and less stuff on my hair, it's a lot healthier now and less greasy :)

  • i have really greasy hair and even if you wash it eery day its still greasy
