First of all, a common mistake is washing your hair daily. Many people believe that if they have oily hair, it needs to be washed excessively. However, daily washing only intensifies the activity of the sebaceous glands, which will secrete an even greater amount of sebum to replenish what was removed during washing. The more often you wash your hair, the more sebum will be secreted, resulting in hair that looks greasy, dull, and lacking shine and volume.
Dermatology specialists recommend washing your hair once every 4 days. You will notice after a few weeks that your hair will not become oily as quickly.

Black Tea Mask
Black tea contains an astringent substance known as tannic acid, which helps eliminate excess oil produced by the scalp by closing the pores. Add 2 tablespoons of black tea leaves to a cup of water and boil for 10 minutes. Strain the tea leaves and let the solution cool to room temperature. Pour this solution over your head and massage your scalp and hair well. Let it act for 5 minutes, rinse well, and then wash your hair with an appropriate shampoo. Repeat the process 2-3 times a week.
Clay Mask
Mix a handful of clay powder, vinegar, and water in equal amounts until you obtain a homogeneous paste. Apply the mask to the roots of your hair, let it act for 10 minutes, and then rinse with lukewarm water. Shampoo with a mild, plant-based shampoo, and then rinse.
