It is suggested that too much sebum and hormones can cause oily hair but no one really know why it happens. There are also suggestions with regards to the job that you may have. For example a lifeguard is exposed to the chlorine in the swimming pools or the salt in the sea. Such exposure to will not be doing the hair any favours at all.

There are some jobs that can lead to you developing oily hair. Such as jobs that are labour intensive and make you sweat a great deal. There is not that much that you will be able to do if your job is causing your hair problems, other than to leave that job of course. But there are plenty of ways of treating oily hair if that is what you have.

The best way for treating hair that is oily is to wash it carefully using a shampoo that is mild and natural. But you need to try and avoid products that will do no more than strip your scalp and hair of essential natural oils. This is something that you need to avoid at all costs. But even if your hair is oily, it still needs essential oils in order to stay fit and healthy.

Natural hair products are the best option for treating any hair condition as they help to restore any lost oils and also are very good at treating the scalp.

You can also try simple products at home to treat your oily hair such as talcum powder, vinegar and also lemon juice. Whilst talcum powder may seem a little odd, it does actually work. Just sprinkle some on to your hair, leave, relax and brush off. You hair will appear to be less oily and much cleaner too.

Another great trick is to have a towel and some hairspray. Whilst you should try to avoid applying products to your hair, hairspray can help with oily hair. Just spray some onto your hair and then straight away rub your hair with the towel. It is the alcohol within the hair spray then soaks up any excess oil, and your hair will look alive once again.

Also if you have a job that is very stressful you may also be adding to your oily hair this way too. Hormones that are released when a person is stressed can add to the problem and you need to find a way to relax when at work and also when you are at home. You should never take your work home with you as this will cause you to be stressed all the time.

Find a hobby that you will enjoy and that you can find time for. It is important that your hobby will take your mind away from work and one that will make you calm. Find something such as fishing that can help lower your blood pressure, but generally you need to find ways that will keep you calm and positive too.
