    Oily hair?

    I'm not sure if this is related, but I have never in my life had to deal with oily hair. I could go days without washing and still no oil. But the last week or so my hair is so oily after only 2 days. I though maybe it was hormone related with after birth or something since giving birth is the only thing that's changed in my life.
    I also have not changed shampoo or anything else.

    Any ides? It's really frustrating.

    Re: Oily hair?

    I noticed this after my 2nd DD was born. In my case, the oiliness seemed to build up overnight - I think the lower estrogen was giving me warm flushes, hence extra overnight sweating/greasiness. I just increased how often I washed my hair, and I also changed my pillowcase more often too.

    Ugh, I hate it! DD is 8 months old though, could it still be something like low oestrogen? Damn, I rather liked not having to wash it every other day. Now I feel I can't leave the house unless it's washed

    When you tell me, let me know. I have oily hair, but I always have. I wash it every day.

    It is designed for oilier hair so you can get by without washing as regularly. I love the Klorane one .
