Many people suffer from oily hair, which causes hair to look dull and lifeless, which can also cause the person suffering from the condition to feel self-conscious. Fortunately, there are an array of homemade treatments for oily hair that will help restore health and vitality to your scalp. A homemade astringent is one of the best homemade treatments for oily hair. To get rid of excess oil, try mixing equal parts of mouthwash and witch hazel, then apply to your scalp with cotton wool.
