Greasy Hair Fixes

I'm sure a lot of you have this problem as well. My hair has been super greasy from detoxing - by the second day, it's like I've coated it in oil. So gross!

Today I added a capsule of activated charcoal to my shampoo (mixed in hand) and my hair feels pretty good. I don't use conditioner very often (my hair is already naturally thin) - just a little of leave-in conditioner to the tips. After, my hair felt very dry, but once I put in the conditioner and let it air dry, it feels good. Seems to be working pretty well, but we'll know more tomorrow.

Anyone else have any great tips for combating that greasy hair?

I have the opposite problem with thick dry hair, so started a tiny bit of conditioner in it dry.

What about rinsing your hair with acv?

July, try using coconut oil in your hair. I have long hair, so I like to apply it and braid it and leave it in overnight, then wash and rinse as usual. Even though I have oily hair, it really helps.

I was just going to suggest that...I may try it for myself one night. I remember you posting this before...or maybe it was in an email...

Although my hair isn't as dry now as it's been before...

I know exactly what you're talking about. I use Jason's tea tree shampoo but my fave is Seaweed Bath Co. peppermint shampoo. It feels so good and leaves you smelling clean/greaseless.
I have to wash my hair every other day instead of every day.
When I was healthy I could go 3 days easily without grease.

I second the acv.

My hair grew back softer when I was diligent about consuming bone broth daily and taking collagen.

My hair still falls out an insane amount (I had a bald spot near my hairline in the front for months) but now the hair grows back faster but still losing a ton of hair. Before it wouldn't grow back.
My hair is still not as thick as it used to be. Back in the day, I used to be annoyed that I couldn't wrap the elastic more than 2x around. Now I would love to have that hair back.
My hair went from shiny jet black to a brown color. Everyone thinks I dyed my hair.
I'm definitely deprived of nutrients but no doctor has addressed this issue. *sigh*
