Is my hair normal?

Is it normal to have to wash your hair everyday or the roots of your hair are super oily, but if you do wash it everyday the ends of your hair dry out?

    The more you wash your hair, the more oil it produces. So make an effort and try not to wash it for at least 3-4 days. Then wash it with a specific shampoo. Look for professional products and avoid buying them in drugstores. If you keep washing your hair twice or three times a week, you'll notice how longer it stays clean.

    I don't think you should have so many problems with your hair. Try changing your hair products to a brand that doesn't dry our your hair and helps with oily hair. I use a Kirkland brand from Costco. This is just a suggestion, hope i helped. :)

    There are products that are meant for oily roots and dry tips - try just shampooing your roots (try not to shampoo your tips)and condition your tips not your roots. There is also a product that you can get at the beauty supply store that you brush on to your roots and it makes them look clean - cant remember what it is called.

    wash every other day. seems counterintuitive, but your hair foliciles are actually responsive. if they're washed very often, they'll produce oil proportionately. You can actually " train" your hair to go longer without getting greasy. Its also important to have a real bristle brush( like boar) that will be more effective in spreading the oil to the ends

    You shouldn't be washing everyday.
    Seriously, go to a hair salon and ask to have a chat with one of the stylists. They can tell you your hair type, how often you should wash and with what kind of shampoos. Drugstore brands are often made with fillers (a common one being floor wax) to increase shine, but it clogs pores and causes tons of sebum. Stop shampooing for a few days, just use warm water, then see a stylist.

      I don't wash it everyday, I wash it every other day or every two days. But it gets very oily at the roots. I use Pantene frizz control shampoo and conditioner once a week and then Tresemme frizz contol shampoo and conditioner the rest of the time. And I know Pantene is no good for your hair, it makes it fall out, but I don't use it every day. The reason I alternate is because if I use the same shampoo for too long it doesnt seem to work at cutting the oilyness. My hair is REALLY thick and I have about 3 inches to go before it's waist length (I grow it long enough that I can cut 6 to 8 inches of it and send to Locks of Love and it still be long)and naturally straight. I use the frizz control because I live in a hummid area but during the winter its never frizzy no matter what I use. I usually use a flat iron on it about twice a week and unless I dont have the time I let it air dry, hate blow drying it.

    Ha my hair is exactly like this. My hair is thin so its oily in the mornings but I think my ends dry out due to straightening it everyday.
