Oily Hair: What are the Causes?

The causes of excessive oil in the scalp and hair strands can be diverse. Natural physiological conditions, hormonal imbalances, dietary habits, and stress are all contributing factors. 

Additionally, frequent use of chemical hair products, such as masks, and other substances can alter sebum production, while hot water baths and improper shampoo selection may further disrupt the balance, leading to greasy strands. 

This excess oil production can extend from the scalp to the hair ends, resulting in a heavy, unkempt appearance. Furthermore, these conditions may also contribute to the development of dandruff, characterized by white flakes on the scalp. Addressing these factors is crucial for maintaining healthy hair.

How to Stop Oily Hair?

To combat oily hair, restoring harmony between your strands and the natural grease of the region is key. Maintaining a healthy level of oil is essential for hair health, but losing control of it should be avoided. Identifying potential causes of sebum production imbalance, whether physiological/hormonal, is crucial. 

Simple tips can help normalize oily hair, such as avoiding touching your hair excessively and keeping the hairdryer at a distance to prevent stimulating sebaceous gland activity. Using a shampoo for oily hair is also recommended to reduce the oils effectively. However, it's important to avoid overdoing it, as excessive measures can lead to dryness instead. Basically, you need balance!

How to Wash Oily Hair?

Effective guidelines for washing oily hair and using shampoo properly can combat excess of grease. Despite myths, such as washing hair every other day, not everyone benefits from this routine. Washing hair more than once daily can stimulate oil production, but skipping daily washes might also prompt an increase. Accumulated dirt and residues can worsen oily scalp. Here are some helpful tips for washing oily hair:

• Use a shampoo for oily hair: This is the primary tip, prefer shampoo for oily hair. Pay close attention to the product's instructions for use and see if it can be used every day or on alternate washes. Also, make sure to wash focusing on the roots. 
• Avoid hot water: It's also worth regulating the water temperature in your shower, the hotter it is, the more irritated the skin and the greater the stimulation of sebaceous gland production! 

• Be gentle with your scalp: When washing, avoid using too much force to scrub the roots and don't make this movement using your nails. Irritating the scalp can lead to more sebum production, did you know that?
• Go easy on conditioners, leave-ins, and masks: If you're using the conditioner incorrectly — applying the product to the base of the strands, not just the ends — adjusting this use can already have good effects. They should be used in moderation, as they can accumulate residues on the scalp and, thus, increase oily scalp.

What is the Best Shampoo for Oily Hair?

Addressing this question isn't straightforward. Excessive oils stem from various factors, and the plethora of formulations complicates the search for the ideal shampoo. Some may suit certain scalp types, while others work better for different ones. Nonetheless, using a shampoo tailored for oily hair is crucial for achieving lighter, healthier strands.
