Oily Hair by Noon
Roots that look clean in the morning and greasy a few hours later, and what actually slows that down.
Hair that turns oily by noon is a timing problem. Sebum is produced continuously at the scalp; nothing in a styling routine stops it. What a routine can change is how fast that oil travels down the strand, how much it is spread by hands and combs, and whether the product on top holds oil at the root or lets it disperse.
That is why "wash more often" often makes the pattern worse rather than better, and why a heavy cream applied at the root reads as grease by lunch even when the scalp itself is behaving normally.
Start with the mechanics, then adjust washing and product placement.
