Oily or Greasy Appearance: Many facial moisturizers contain oils or emollients that can make your hair look greasy or weighed down, especially if you have fine or oily hair. Build-Up: Some facial lotions may leave a residue that can build up on your hair over time, potentially making it look dull or lifeless.
When selecting hair care products for fine, greasy hair, opt for lightweight formulas that won't weigh down your locks.

Excessive washing
Over-washing can make your hair look greasy because it strips the hair of its natural oils. This loss of natural oils causes the body to overcompensate by producing more sebum. Over-conditioning can also lead to greasy hair because it weighs down the hair and this in turn increases oil production.
However, there are dedicated scalp conditioners out there, formulated to hydrate both the scalp and hair (without leaving the latter feeling weighed down or greasy). Dr. Benham says using one of these every time you wash your hair is the easiest way to moisturize your scalp and effortless part of your regular routine.
Establish a Gentle Hair Care Routine: Avoid harsh shampoos, which can trigger sebum overproduction. Opt for a mild shampoo that cleanses without stripping natural oils. Adjust Diet and Supplements: Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants can help regulate sebum production.
