My hair is greasy and i mean very greasy! if i don't have a bath after a day it's looks like i have never washedmy hair plus it sort of stinks why help?

Greasy Hair: Greasy hair happens when the sebaceous glands on the scalp become overactive. This means that the glands produce too much oil. In a normal environment, the sebaceous glands are designed to produce and secret sebum, which is an oil based matter, which naturally lubricates the hair and skin. You should use a detergent shampoo to lesson the oil.
