oily hair?
Do you wash your hair every other day but it just seems to get greasier and greasier? You are not alone. Overcoming an oily scalp requires the right products and routines, but above all patience!
reasons
The reasons for oily hair (caused by an oily scalp) can be many. One of the most common causes is too frequent washing. Yes, you read that right. We simply wash our hair too much. Like most other parts of the body, the scalp is made up of sebaceous glands that produce sebum. When we wash our hair too often, the scalp's natural fat layer disappears and the sebaceous glands start producing even more sebum to compensate - leading to an excess.
Stress, diet and hormones can also affect hair. For example, fatty, sugary foods can boost sebum production.
how to solve the problem
wash moderately
Don't shower more than necessary. Once you get into a vicious cycle, it can be difficult to suddenly switch to washing your hair only a couple of times a week. The first few weeks can be tough, but eventually sebum production will stabilize and your hair will feel less greasy again.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHAMPOO
There are shampoos specifically designed for different hair types, even for those with oily scalps! Choosing the right shampoo will go a long way towards helping you.
