Talcum Powder to Wash Hair...Effective??

Andregs on Beauty, Hair, Talcum

I know lots of you are blogging about beauty. I'm not an expert on this, but that doesn't mean I don't care, so I need your advice :)

I normally washed my hair every day, because it's really thin hair and gets greasy really fast. I am trying to not wash that much, for many reasons (healthier hair, not using chemicals, use less water, etc.)

So, does talcum powder work at getting the grease off?? Have you tried it?

Hi, the powder will have almost the same effect as a dry shampoo, it's just a bit harder to manage/handle, so I'd say rather invest in a dry shampoo, my favourite is Batiste. Others rub a little bit of baby powder in your hands and work through your hair. Also, if you have greasy hair, washing it daily is not a good idea, you've over-stimulating your hair folicle, so basically your scalp is producing more oil. Oil is a natural moisturizer to your hair, what I suggest is invest in a really good shampoo/conditioner made for oily hair, wash it every 2 - 3 days, never use conditioner on the scalp area, use dry shampoo for in between washes. Good luck! Your hair will take a couple of days/weeks to settle, but I'm sure you'll see an improvement in oilyness once you stop washing it daily.
