It doesn’t matter how meticulous you are with your haircare routine; at some point, greasy hair gets the better of us all. Whether your hair is naturally fine and oily, you thought you could squeeze in one more day between washes, or you’re just suffering the results of a humid summer, we’re all constantly battling against greasy roots that leave your hair looking limp and lifeless.That's why it’s no surprise that a video has gone viral on TikTok that shows a simple hack that helps keep greasy roots at bay and leaves your hair looking light and voluminous, without an oily strand in sight.
Beauty lover Elle McNamara, who goes by the handle @BambiDoesBeauty, shared the straightforward hack on her TikTok account, which promptly racked up hundreds of thousands of likes and saves from people who are desperate to try out the trick for themselves. It couldn’t be easier to try at home either; to achieve the weightless look, Elle recommends using a salicylic acid treatment on your scalp once a week, which removes excess oil, dead skin and product build up from your hair and scalp.
A build up of these leaves your hair limp and lifeless and weighs down your hair at the roots, leaving it looking greasy and dull. In her video, Elle uses the Bumble and Bumble Scalp Detox, £29.50 here, and sections her hair before liberally spraying the foaming cleanser onto her roots and massaging it in.
She leaves the product in her hair for several minutes, before washing her hair as normal and returning to show off the results. Gone are her greasy, limp locks, and in their place are weightless, bouncy curls that look soft and shiny.
