Why is hair so oily

Sometimes we feel that our hair is very oily. We just washed it in the morning, and it becomes oily again in the afternoon. Many people don’t know the reason and just think that there may be something wrong with themselves. But in fact, it is not always the case. There are many reasons that cause hair to become oily. Below are the reasons that cause hair to become oily. I hope you can find the reason why your hair becomes oily.

1. Huge pressure.

Stress will affect the secretion of sebaceous glands. The greater the stress, the more sebum will be secreted, making it more likely to produce oily hair.

2. Excessive use of cosmetics.

In particular, some hairsprays or styling sprays may increase the oiliness of the scalp. Furthermore, some shampoos contain moisturizing ingredients, which may aggravate the problem of oiliness.

3. Not paying attention to cleaning.

Many girls don’t wash their hair during their menstrual period. In fact, a menstrual period usually lasts about a week. If you don’t wash your hair, it would be strange if your scalp doesn’t become oily.

4. Washing your hair too frequently.

Experts say that not paying attention to the cleanliness of your head will make your hair look greasy. In fact, excessive cleaning can also cause excessive oil secretion in the scalp. Because the skin responds based on the information it receives. For example, if you wash your hair too frequently, the sebum will receive a signal of "lack of oil" and will further secrete more oil.

5. Bad living habits.

For example, unbalanced nutrition, eating too greasy, spicy food, staying up late, etc. these factors may affect the human endocrine system and cause oily hair.

So what should we do if oil comes out?

1. Choose an oil-control shampoo

Choose a shampoo that is targeted at oily scalp and has oil-control effects. Such products generally contain lemon essential oil, rosemary, geranium, mint, eucalyptus and other ingredients that can help effectively regulate oil secretion and cleanse the scalp.

2. Do your own scalp SPA at home

The root cause of oiliness is scalp problems. Doing a 1-2 minute massage yourself can help the scalp adjust to a healthy state. At the same time, it can soften the skin's stratum corneum, dilate the capillaries in the skin, and promote skin microcirculation, thereby accelerating scalp metabolism, relieving scalp tension and fatigue, and enhancing scalp resistance.

3. Herbal and healthy dandruff removal

Oily scalp often occurs with dandruff. Choose shampoo containing natural ingredients such as lemongrass and aloe vera. Natural herbs can fight stubborn fungi, relieve inflammation and itching, deeply purify, and promote blood circulation, making dandruff removal more gentle and healthy.

4. Essential oil scalp care before shampooing

Various scalp problems are likely caused by scalp sensitivity and mild inflammation. Choose targeted essential oil products to care for your scalp.

5. If you frequently use styling products, you should prepare a bottle of deep shampoo

Many boys and girls use a lot of styling products on a daily basis, especially boys with short hair, who are very likely to apply hairspray to their scalp. If they are not washed sufficiently for a long time, it can easily cause an oily scalp. The solution is to avoid applying styling products to your scalp as much as possible and to choose products with high-cleansing ingredients that can remove hair dryers.
