How to remove oil from hair after anesthesia?

February 19, 2016
Asked By:MH7982 in Atlanta, GA

I had rhinoplasty 8 days ago and I can't seem to wash the oils out of my hair. My skin is oily too but my hair is more of a concern - I'm using clarifying shampoos and it's still greasy even by the time I blow dry. I know this is due to anti-nausea drugs in anesthesia but can anyone suggest a way to lessen the oil? Is there a shampoo that can help? I know there are recommendations for oxy-wash for skin, but what about hair?
