\"should<\/p>\n

Are you thinking of dyeing your hair? Do you still have doubts because you have greasy hair?<\/strong><\/span> Let me tell you a story. My sister Mariana has greasy hair. So much so that just after washing it, it looks greasy like she\u2019s never washed it. In spite of this, she brought herself to dye her oily hair. Do you want to know what happened? I\u2019ll tell you here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My sister, Mariana, has fought for years with greasy hair.<\/p>\n

She always ironically called it, \u201cThe curse of my greasy hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n I have watched her spend hours in front of a mirror trying different hairstyles that will help her hide the greasiness of her hair. <\/span>\n

To tell you the truth, she felt that as much as she washed her hair, and I can assure you that she is a super, hyper, fanatic about cleaning her hair, it always looked dirty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She tried so many magical, earthly formulas that she found to tame the excess sebum in her hair.<\/p>\n

She applied a mixture of two lemons and two tablespoons of honey to her scalp, letting it sit overnight. From then on, she developed a slight allergy to lemons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every once in a while, she prepares a cup of black tea, not to drink, but to put smoothly on her scalp. She lets it soak in for a few minutes, rinses, and according to her, the properties of one of its ingredients, tannic acid, helps reduce excess sebum on her scalp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I could go on with the unending list of homemade treatments to reduce the formation of sebum on the scalp. Still, I started to write this post because I wanted to tell you that my sister, Mariana, in her search for happiness despite her greasy hair, shattered one of the greatest myths that exist about very oily hair.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you already guessed what it\u2019s about.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t dye greasy hair.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About two days ago, she called me to invite me to eat at one of my favorite restaurants.<\/p>\n

That and to ask to borrow my car, generally one came with the other.<\/p>\n

But I accepted anyways.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I arrived first, as usual.<\/p>\n

I started to look through my Whatsapp messages to answer some of them, those that were the most important.<\/p>\n

I felt a shadow in front of me.<\/p>\n

It was my sister, but it didn\u2019t seem like her.<\/p>\n

Her enormous smile that showed all her perfectly white teeth was flanked with a chocolate mane that looked like a magazine model.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n So if you are asking if you can dye greasy hair, the answer is DEFINITELY YES.  <\/span>\n

And my sister is living proof.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not only can you dye it, but it can look spectacular, clean, and healthy with a shine to be jealous of that if it hadn\u2019t been my sister, I would have wanted to shave it off.<\/p>\n

Of course, the topic of the dinner wasn\u2019t the boys of our dreams nor her boss\u2019s bad attitude.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We talked the whole evening about how she dyed her hair and the aftercare for greasy, dyed hair that she should use.<\/p>\n

You might ask if I was bored.<\/p>\n

Not at all!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The happy look on my sister\u2019s face was completely worth it.<\/p>\n

I wish she had dyed it a long time ago.<\/p>\n

Do you still have doubts about if it is possible to dye greasy hair?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Why dye helps reduce sebum on the scalp<\/h2>\n

\"wash<\/p>\n

We all know that sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands of our scalp<\/a>. Its purpose is to keep moisture in the skin on our scalp and our hair, protecting us from the bad effects of foreign agents, like sun rays, for example.<\/p>\n But when this sebum is produced in excess, it makes our hair greasy. <\/span>\n

 <\/p>\n

It could have to do with multiple factors, like for example, a hormonal imbalance, lack of vitamin B, eating a high-fat diet, the use of inadequate hair products or simply a question of genetics.<\/p>\n

My sister, Mariana, falls into the last category.<\/p>\n

And what she explained to about why her hair seemed less greasy thanks to dyeing, and in reality, it was because I could see it with my own eyes, is the same explanation that her colorist gave her to get her to color her hair.<\/p>\n

When dye makes contact with hydrogen peroxide or oxygen water, it activates a principle called alkalinity that, when put in contact with the hair cuticle, makes it open, giving us the sensation that our hair is dryer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n To tell you the truth, dye improves the look of greasy hair, although it doesn\u2019t prevent your scalp from producing excess sebum.  <\/span>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then you might ask yourself why Mariana was so happy with the decision to dye her hair.<\/p>\n

First of all, she doesn\u2019t have to wash her hair every day to look and feel like her hair is clean. She can go three days without washing her hair, and it isn\u2019t a catastrophe like it was before.<\/p>\n

Although, I say again, she is a fanatic about cleaning her hair, which is why I don\u2019t believe that she can go three days without washing her hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, she wears her hair down most of the time, and she\u2019s not burdened by ponytails, which on most occasions, end up breaking her hair strands.<\/p>\n

Also, she debuted her new hair color, which accentuated her deep, almond eyes.<\/p>\n

Definitely.<\/p>\n
