Establish a washing routine suited to your hair type
Identify the ideal washing frequency for your hair based on its type (dry, oily, normal). If your hair isn’t excessively oily, space out washes to avoid stimulating sebum production. This will help your hair maintain its natural balance and stay clean longer.
Use suitable styling products
Choose lightweight, residue-free styling products. Heavy or sticky products can attract dirt and sebum, making your hair greasy faster. Opt for light formulas that add texture without weighing down your strands.
Avoid touching your hair too often
Hands tend to accumulate natural oils, which can transfer to your hair when you touch it frequently. Avoid running your hands through your hair constantly to minimize adding oil and dirt.
Protect your hair overnight
Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction between your hair and the fabric. This will help prevent sebum buildup and keep your hair cleaner for longer. Also, tie your hair in a loose ponytail to avoid it rubbing against your face and absorbing oil from your skin.
