Why is my hair oilier now that it's long? I have had short hair all my life and now that I have it shoulder length it is totally different. It gets oily much faster and needs to be washed daily. Is this normal?

Sometimes it can be normal But i have extremly long hair as you can probley see and my hair never gets like that Unless i use to much conditioner. You can try bying something over the counter for oily hair or maybe dye your hair maybe your color that you have makes the texture look like that or do what i do Use a little bit of conditioner not much cause that can be the main problem; especially when you wash your hair daily.

Many people find that the more they wash their hair, the oilier it gets. The oil is a natural product and is your body's attempt to waterproof its insulation layer. If you brush it thoroughly every day, you will only need to wash it with shampoo once or twice a week, otherwise just rinse out the dirt with clean water when you have your daily shower. Within a week or two it will look and feel beautiful. (I used to have long hair and this worked for me.)

Brushing that oil through is healthy for your hair. It helps form a protective layer. Don't wash too often if you want it to grow long. Essentially what you are doing is washing out the natural oils and replacing them with fake ones in conditioners.

I have really long hair and I've found over the years that washing it more frequently actually increased the oil production. What I do is space out washing my hair and then when I do, I wash with shampoo not once but twice, follow up with a really good conditioner. In a few weeks you will notice that your hair is less oily and you can comfortable go longer between hair washes.

I have always washed my hair every day long or short, A trichologist told me it is far better to wash the hair every day than let all the fumes grease grime smoke and filth from the normal daily living get into you hair . Remember it also touches your skin and makes the skin bad.Spotty faces from greasy hair is very unattractive
