Airing the hair is essential for women with oily hair, especially during daytime, so you should not leave your scalp for several hours in a row without airing the hair. Your diet should contain good amount of fruits and vegetables and drink 8-10 glasses of water every day. Regular shampooing is essential at least 3 times a week.
