Can you help me with my dry scalp and greasy fine hair?

Share
Hi,
I have long hair which is feathered, layered and cut around my face without a fringe. It is so fine and thin but slightly thicker at the back - I try to create different partings to cover my scalp more. I have eczema and have to use medicated shampoo, but I also use Aussie shampoo and conditioner - as that is the only thing I have found that doesn't matte up my hair.
I have to wash my hair every day as it gets so greasy. If I have a night out I often have to wash it twice a day so that it will still look ok by midnight. I have seen several hairdressers and they always seem to give conflicting advice and suggest that the only thing I can try is some lotion or potion that is extremely expensive!!
Do you have any other ideas that will help a dry scalp and greasy fine hair? I'd also love to know if a graduated bob may make my hair look thicker, and if a fringe would be possible as I'm not sure I have enough hair to create a fringe. Plus I also wanted to know how I should get my fringe cut as I wear glasses and I don't want to look 'blocked in' LOL! Sorry, so many questions!
Thank you, Anon, UK

Hello there,

I can feel for you, but you are not alone with your hair and scalp problem. There are millions of women and men who have a similar hair problem as you. We recently had amazing success with one of our clients at our Manchester city centre salon that had the same hair and scalp condition like you. She tried many of the world’s best products but nothing really helped to cure her dry flaky scalp and greasy fine hair - until I found the only shampoo for her which has cured her problems at last!

The producer of this product is Tony Maleedy, one of the most respected Trichologists in the world. Tony develops and researches hair and scalp products for many large companies. However, he retails online only one super shampoo which has a built in conditioner and which leaves your hair clean and shiny as well free from grease and at the same time cures your scalp over a short time of use.

Your Scalp: The combination of dry scalp and greasy hair is a common phenomenon, especially with women who have fine hair. Men do have the same symptoms but mostly go unnoticed as many men shampoo their hair daily and usually have short hair. I enclose for you Tony Maleedy’s webpage where you can buy this amazing shampoo www.tonymaleedyhair.com.

Your Hair: I would strongly recommend for you to have a short bob, it can be cut slightly asymmetric with a side parting, and yes you could have a little graduation cut into it at the back. The fringe could be also cut into a soft asymmetric, the shorter side to be where your parting is - that way you can balance your face better when you wear glasses. There are many variations of shorter bobs; a good stylist should be able to recommend which bob is the best for your head shape and hair structure.

My Recommendations: I definitely would never recommend long hair to you; long hair is heavier than short hair and therefore has the habit of falling flat onto the scalp which helps the oils running out from your over-active sebaceous glands onto your scalp and then your hair. It is quite often the case that people with greasy hair also have greasy skin. Two sebaceous glands are attached to each hair follicle and serve to keep your hair healthy. Some people’s sebaceous glands produce more oil than others.

There is more you can do to prevent eczema form flaring up. Remember we are what we eat - I also suffer with eczema and choose what I eat very carefully. I learned from trial and error and eventually.
