If you suffer from an oily scalp or struggle to keep your locks from looking limp, you might want to listen to this Dr. Jenny Liu‘s advice.

This American content creator trained as a dermatologist and is subsequently a certified member of FAAD. He knows more than a few beauty hacks.

In fact, the expert regularly goes viral for her tips and tricks – gaining her more than 200,000 followers on Tiktok.

Although she often recommends products to help viewers achieve healthy hair, the doctor recently revealed that their hair routine could be doing more harm than good.

Instead of using shampoo and then conditioner, she explained that there’s a better way to achieve luscious locks — especially if you have an oily scalp.

Her first tip was to change up your routine and condition, using conditioner before shampoo.

She said: “This trick is great for anyone with an oily scalp who needs to wash their hair more often, but at the same time is concerned about the damage caused to the hair by frequent hair washing.”

According to the content creator, this can protect your hair from drying out or damaging even if you wash it more often.

She also urged fans to be careful with how they apply any conditioning product, urging them to only apply it to the ends to avoid any build-up.

“Apply the conditioner only to the ends of your hair before washing and this essentially acts as a shield… protecting your hair,” she explained, adding that you can then rinse it out before continuing with your normal hair routine.

Unsurprisingly, the simple hair hack has amazed fans who have struggled with lifeless hair for decades.

Some even revealed that they had tried the method, which simply transformed the hair by changing the wash cycle.

“Yes, I do this every time I wash my hair. It’s fantastic! My hair has improved and is now so shiny and smooth. I will never wash the old way again!” gushed one impressed fan in the comments.

The hack isn’t just for those who struggle to comply oil remotely, with Dr. Jenny also tells fans that the tip is great for revitalizing your locks after a dip in the pool.

In the caption she wrote: “Also a great trick for those who swim often to protect hair from pool water!”

For those still struggling to tame their mane, you can always add a little dry shampoo before bed to give your hair a much-needed boost in the morning.

Ideal for those who get oily quickly or need an extra bit of volume. We recommend using this hack sparingly to avoid annoying product build-up.

These handy hacks should help you banish bad hair days.
