Strange hair problem- "sticky"/"greasy" hair after wash?

This started not very long ago- at first I thought it was from new shampoo-conditioner I was using, but even after I stopped use, it continues.

My hair is slightly sticky/greasy-looking, on the top of my scalp after I wash my hair. It really acts as if I had put gel in it there.

I thought maybe it was from the new shampoo-conditioner so after I stopped use my mom tried washing that area of my head with vinegar- which helped for a while and I thought it was gone, but it is back (and i have not used that shampoo or conditioner).

It is the strangest thing and I have no idea where it is coming from. Does anyone have any ideas of what is happening or how to fix it? My family and I are all baffled.

After you wash your hair, pour a cup of half and half mixture of vinegar and water as a rinse. This will eliminate the sticky/ greasy feeling and you hair will be very shiny to boot. You might try washing you hair with "Dawn" and cold water. Most times this helps too.

I use baby shampoo when I get the sticky hair and it takes care of it pretty quickly! I think it is build up as well. It grosses me out because I am a very clean person. Report It

My hair has been like that when i have build up. Just take your favorite shampoo and put some in your hand. Then add baking soda to it and rub your hands together then wash your hair. You may have to repeat this again. Then I would follow that with straight shampoo to get all of the baking soda out. After that use your conditioner as normal.

This should help!!!

Maybe you need to get a clarifying shampoo that really will strip your hair of all the build-up from the atmosphere and from products that you use in your hair. If you get one that solely says clarifying, probably only use it about twice a week. I'd also make sure to use a good conditioner though mainly on your ends to keep them from drying out too bad.

That's the only "normal" kind of remedy I can suggest. If it continues I would definitely see a doctor/dermatologist about it. Don't know what it could be because I've never heard of a clinical term for something like that, but I'm sure there's something!

Try using a de-toxifying product. Alternatively, cut your shampoo with water. Start with 1 part water to 3 parts shampoo, and then change it to 1 part water to 2 parts shampoo. Do 1 part water to 2 parts conditioner, or 1 part water to 1 part conditioner.

Maybe a dermotologist would be a good person to see. S/he could tell you if it was a skin problem or reaction triggered by the shampoo. I might even see if other people have had the same problems with the same shampoo.

What are you using now? I'm assuming that you still use a shampoo%26amp;conditioner in one. Stop. Use a shampoo, rinse, REPEAT, make sure it's rinsed all the way out. Get a leave in conditioner. After you get out of the shower, towel dry, put a SMALL amount of conditioner on the ENDS of your hair. Wash your hair EVERYDAY. When I was in high school, my hair would get oily fast so I had to wash everyday. Now my hair isn't that way anymore. It's hormones, it will change a few more times in your life. So don't worry. Hope this helps.
