The kind of problem you describe has a fairly simple solution. You need to take care of your oily skin first, and your dry hair second. If your skin maintains a normal balance between dry and oily, then it will naturally offset your hair as well, thereby making it look better. In order to take care of oily skin, you should begin by exfoliating your skin and then applying a healthy face pack at least once a week. The best exfoliating scrub for your skin type would be one made of equal parts of dried and crushed orange peels, plain, unsweetened, unflavored yogurt and coarsely ground walnuts. This can be rubbed into your skin in gentle circular motions for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Wash this off and then apply a face pack to seal in the effects of the exfoliation.
The exfoliation will remove the top layer of oil and will open up your skin pores. This will lend a healthy glow to your skin, and it will also make sure the oiliness does not recur with frequency. Yogurt is helpful with this problem. The face pack you make should be one part of yogurt, one part of powdered, dried black gram a few drops of lime juice and a few drops of olive oil. Apply this, leave it on till it dries, and then rub it off. Wash with plain cool water. You need to follow this procedure at least thrice a week to begin with. The best time to do it would be the evening, when you return from outside. This will not only be a good cleansing process, it will also be effective longer, since you will more likely remain indoors after this.
To take care of dry hair, it is a better option to tackle the problem from the roots, rather than applying external condiments like gel. Oiling your hair is certainly a solution. But you must apply warm oil, and must also always massage your hair for some time. It is better to leave this on overnight, and wash it off the next morning. This will ensure that your hair is soaked to the roots in oil and the moisturizing effect of the oil will be felt even after the hair is washed. Make it a point to always use a conditioner that is formulated for dry hair after shampooing for a healthier mane.
