My hair becomes oily right after washing

The correct way to wash your hair is two to three times a week. If you wash your hair too frequently, it will not only damage your scalp, but also make your hair drier and yellower. Some people actually don’t want to wash their hair every day, because their hair becomes oily immediately after washing, so they have to wash it every day because they have no choice. What should they do if their hair becomes oily so easily? Let’s understand the reasons why hair becomes oily.

1. What causes oily hair?

1. Bad eating habits

If a person consumes greasy, spicy and other foods for a long time, it will cause the sebaceous glands of the scalp to secrete excessively, leading to excessive oil production. Also, if you love to eat sweets or greasy food, it is easy to cause phlegm and dampness in the body, which will cause abnormal body fat metabolism. These oils cannot be digested or excreted, so they will become waste that clogs the body, causing dampness and heat to be unable to dissipate. Some of them will continue to accumulate in the scalp, and long-term use will cause greasy hair.

2. Unhealthy lifestyle

If a person often stays up late, plays electronic products for a long time or works at high intensity, it will affect the endocrine system and increase the symptoms of oily scalp.

3. Wash your hair frequently

It is the hottest time of summer now. Many women who love cleanliness will sweat easily after staying outdoors for a while, and will take a shower immediately after returning home. Frequent hair washing will clean the oil on the scalp. The sebum will receive the signal of oil shortage and accelerate the secretion of oil, which will affect the secretion of oil. The oil secretion will increase and the hair will feel greasy.

4. Wash your hair with very hot water

Many women like to take a bath with very hot water, and they feel very comfortable after taking a bath. However, washing your hair with hot water at a relatively high temperature is not good for hair health. Hot water can easily damage the sebum membrane on the surface of the scalp and affect normal secretion.

2. What should I do if my hair becomes oily easily?

1. Develop a regular life

In our daily lives, we should develop good living habits and a regular life, maintain good and sufficient sleep time, and insist on physical exercise. These habits are helpful for brain rest and scalp health.

2. Maintain a balanced diet

Whether for the sake of physical health or to prevent oily scalp, we must limit the intake of fatty foods, avoid eating too much spicy foods such as chili peppers, fried foods, onions, ginger, garlic, alcohol, etc., and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits.

3. Do not use too high a temperature for washing your hair

We need to develop good hair washing habits. We don’t need to wash our hair several times a day. It is recommended to wash our hair once every two days. Frequent washing will indeed damage the hair. Don't use too high a temperature to wash your hair, just use warm water. Don't grab your hair too hard, as it may accelerate the secretion of sebaceous glands and make your hair more oily.

4. Use the right shampoo

If you find that your hair is often oily, you can change the shampoo you are currently using. You can choose a shampoo that specifically controls oil, such as a shampoo containing zinc pyrithione and salicylic acid, to improve the oiliness of your hair.
