Sticky residue on hair no matter what I wash it in

by Dee
(Mississippi)

My hair has developed a residue that makes it look oily even after I wash it. I can tell while I am drying it with the dryer that it still has the problem.

I have used every shampoo available from my local drug store and still can't get rid of this problem. It feels as though I haven't rinsed the shampoo or conditioner out. It's normally long black silky strands now it's just a clump and is sticky!
HELP!

Couple of suggestions and tips


By: N.F.
Try deep purifying and cleansing shampoos to remove product buildup. You might not be able to find in drug store, so look for salon professional products or on Internet web shops.

Some product suggestions:

KMS California - Head Remedy Clarify Shampoo

SUDZZ FX - Nyrvana detoxifying cleansing treatment

"RENE FURTERER - Curbicia Clay Mask Argilla" is also a good one to remove the excess sebum, which I believe is the problem in your case.

Tee Tree oils also shown to be very effective for oily hair and scalp problems. I can recommend Rusk Purify Shampoo and it contains cucurbita and tea tree oil.

While looking into these products, try also to look into your diet. Any new changes? A well balanced diet is very important. Drink a lot of water and avoid alcohol, salt and spicy foods. Many of our hair and scalp problems can be easy solved from inside out without the need of products.

try this or call a salon

try making a paste of baking soda and your shampoo, apply to your scalp, and rub it in gently. rinse well! then wash again,gently and condition with a little oil free conditioner - the baking soda will strip oil completely so do not do this daily, but it should take care of the problem. probably hormones- my daughter gets this too! hope it helps!

This started happening to me too. Even though I don't use styling products, my hair is sticky when I wash it and kind of feels like I'm washing it with peanut butter, and was all clumped together. Changing shampoos & conditioners didn't help.

Today I went to an Aveda salon and they did a detoxification treatment on my hair (because they tried washing it and had the same problem). The detox seemed to work really well! A bit expensive but well worth it. I was also able to purchase some of that product to take home with me & I will continue with the detox on a regular basis until my hair returns to normal.

Good Luck.

I had the same problem for awhile. About a month ago i realized i wash my hair everyday which is not what your supposed to do because it damages the roots. You supposed to only wash it every other day, so i began washing my hair every other day with shampoo yet still using conditioner every day to keep my hair from getting frizzy and it worked, NO MORE STICKY!

There is a shampoo made by Neutrogena that is called "Neutrogena residue remover." you should use this at least once a week especially if you use a lot of product during the week. Once you massage it in, leave it in for a minute or 2 to really let it break down the residue.

I promise this will work and it makes your hair so soft and fluffy. But, it strips your hair of all of the residue and leaves it bare so be sure to apply a good conditioner and leave it in your hair for at least 3 minutes or so, while you wash up, to really let it soak in.

I have been able to find it at target. But, it comes in a little white box about the size of 5X5 box. So don't go looking for a "bottle" but, it is in the shampoo section. Good luck and i hope you find it.

If you have any other questions, email me. rhiannonromero at yahoo dot com

This is my exact problem.
by: Debbie

This happened right after I colored my hair with Perfect 10, a product I have been using since it first came out and I have had no problems at all with it. I have greasy hair from the temples to the crown of my head but the rest of my hair is OK.

I have shampooed my hair 17 times in the last 5 days with various products, no sulphates, Neutrogena (get's rid of residue), Pantene, etc.

I can't imagine how this happened! I didn't change any of my styling products! I put baby powder in my hair overnight, but to no avail. The heat from the hairdryer makes it worse. Maybe I will try to go to an Aveda Salon. Or should I go to a dermatologist????

My Daughter had the same problem. Mix two fresh lime with tablespoon of honey, and leave it on your hair for 10 min. Then rinse it well. Hopefully it works for you too.
