Hi, I am a 17 year old girl and I have long hair and it is natural. I struggle with maintaining it due to the way it gets greasy. It gets greasy extremely easily and always has. My hair is thick, and I have to do two rounds of shampoo each time I wash it and the next day it can become greasy again. I was also wondering what hairstyle I should do to possibly make management easier or just to make my hair look healthier.
Hi Beautiful! 💛 Since your hair is thick and gets greasy quickly, double shampooing is totally okay — just make sure you’re focusing the shampoo on your scalp, not your ends. I’d also recommend using a clarifying shampoo once a week to help remove buildup, and keeping conditioner only on your mids and ends so your roots don’t get weighed down or oily too quickly.
For styling, avoid heavy oils or creams near your scalp, and try using dry shampoo on day two to absorb oil and add volume. Our Boost X Dry Shampoo is a great option — it’s super lightweight and helps absorb oil without making your hair feel like there’s a ton of product in it.
You may also want to try blow-drying your roots instead of air drying. Sometimes leaving the scalp damp for too long can make roots feel greasy faster, while blow-drying helps keep them lifted and fresher longer.
As for a cut, long layers or face-framing layers would be great for making thick hair easier to manage while still keeping your length. If you want a bigger change, a long bob or collarbone-length cut can make your hair feel lighter and healthier without going too short.
You’ve got gorgeous hair — it just needs the right routine to keep it fresh, healthy, and easy to style! ✨
