If your hair is coming out of wash day looking heavy, greasy, or weighed down after trying my method, this video is me troubleshooting the most common causes and how to fix them fast. The biggest culprit I see is pre-shampoo oiling—especially when it’s too much oil, too heavy of an oil, or it’s paired with a too-gentle shampoo that can’t fully remove that residue. I walk you through the tweaks that usually solve it immediately: use a lighter amount, choose thinner oils (like an oil mist), and save oiling for days you’re using a true deep-cleaning shampoo. I also talk about the other major source of wash day “blah” results: conditioning overload. Leave-ins, creams, masks, and conditioners can be amazing, but some are simply too heavy for certain hair types—and even lightweight products can weigh you down if you stack too many in one routine. My biggest takeaway: you do not need every step on every wash day. If you’re struggling, strip it back to one in-shower conditioner (or mask) and one out-of-shower leave-in spray with heat protection, then only add more if your hair actually needs it.
