Sticky Hair Remedies: It's common for hair to feel sticky even after washing, or to become oily shortly thereafter. This stickiness can attract dirt and complicate styling efforts. But what causes this issue, and how can it be resolved?

Why does hair become sticky?
Several factors can contribute to sticky hair. An oily scalp, incorrect shampoo choices, frequent contact with unclean hands, the use of various hair products, and hormonal fluctuations can all lead to this condition. Moreover, inadequate washing of the scalp can result in ongoing stickiness.

Ways to prevent sticky hair:
According to Ayurvedic practices, there are several home remedies that can help alleviate stickiness and rejuvenate your hair. Washing your hair with neem or shikakai is recommended. To prepare, soak neem or shikakai in water, boil it, and then use this water for washing your hair. After rinsing, apply fresh aloe vera gel, and consider using a multani mitti (Fuller's earth) pack weekly. This routine helps cleanse the scalp, absorb excess oil, and nourish both hair and scalp.

Additionally, selecting the right shampoo is crucial. Opt for a sulfate-free shampoo and limit oil application to once a week to avoid excessive greasiness. While oiling is traditionally believed to strengthen hair roots, moderation is key. Apply oil to your scalp weekly and ensure thorough washing afterward. A healthy scalp promotes longer hair growth and natural shine, so adhere to these tips for effective hair care.
