After posting an Instagram story where she wrote: \u201cOne for my oily hair girlies. How are we stopping our hair from going greasy the day after washing it?\u201d, the former Love Island star gave her fans another glimpse at her oily hair struggles in a recent vlog. <\/p>\n
In the video, Molly-Mae revealed she got a professional blow dry done just two days earlier, as she showed off her greasy roots, calling it \u201cliteral butter grease\u201d before adding: \u201cI find it really hard to enjoy my hair at the moment because I just associate it with sunflower oil, butter, grease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Molly-Mae\u2019s hair struggles are super relatable, and we\u2019ve all been caught out when we thought we could squeeze in another day between hair washes.<\/p>\n
Greasy hair is typically caused by a build up of excess sebum, which leaves it looking slick and oily, even when you\u2019ve washed it recently. Although you can always pull off a slicked back bun or ponytail to make greasy hair look intentional, it can be frustrating to deal with, especially when you\u2019ve just washed it.<\/p>\n
Although keeping your hair clean is key to fresh looking locks, over washing it can strip your hair's natural oils, causing it to dry out and actually encouraging your hair to produce even more sebum to hydrate it, keeping you trapped in a vicious cycle of daily hair washes.<\/p>\n
