Expert shares how often you should clean your brush to avoid greasy hair

Nobody wants to be walking around with greasy hair - but changing your hair care routine is often easier said than done. Hair care specialists have shared the biggest mistakes people make with their hair that makes it turn greasy - and how to get the most out of it between washes.

President of Philip Kingsley, Anabel Kingsley, says people should regularly clean their brushes in order to stop transferring months-old oil back onto their newly washed hair. She said: "Wash your brushes every two to four weeks. Using heavy styling products can also make your roots greasy, as can using a dirty hairbrush".

However, the most common cause of greasy hair is not shampooing often enough and using a conditioner that's too heavy for your hair texture. She says people should spend approximately one minute gently but firmly massaging their scalp when shampooing, paying attention to all areas.
