Why is my hair becoming more and more oily?

Many people say that their hair is more oily than before. Some people say it is because of the radiation from computers and other machines, while others say it is because of work pressure. But some people say that it is because they wash their hair too frequently. Don’t disbelieve it, this is really the reason for oily hair. But there are more reasons that we don’t know, so now let me tell you what causes your hair to become oilier and oilier.

1. Choosing the wrong shampoo. Most shampoos on the market have the dual functions of cleansing and moisturizing. For oily hair, it is recommended to use products with strong cleansing ability, and do not use products with moisturizing or repairing functions; if the hair is normally oily, only use shampoos with dual functions of hair care and oil control; if the scalp is rarely oily or even dry, you can choose products with strong nourishing and hair care functions. If you also have dandruff or even itchy scalp, you should choose products containing effective antifungal ingredients. Also, don't use the same shampoo for a long time. It's best to prepare two or three sets of shampoos to use in rotation.

2. Washing your hair too frequently. Because after washing your hair to clean the oil on your scalp, the sebum will receive the message of "lack of oil" and then further secrete oil. Washing your hair too frequently will cause sebum to frequently send out "degreasing" signals, causing your hair to become more and more oily. If you are used to washing your hair frequently, or if your hair secretes too much oil if you don't wash it, then don't use shampoo and conditioner every time you wash your hair. You can use them every other day depending on the situation. This can remove stains from the hair and scalp without increasing oil secretion. For people who don’t have severe oily hair, washing your hair two or three times a week is enough.

3. Head care. Although massaging the scalp with the fingertips in the morning and evening has certain health benefits, for an oily scalp, this will passively disperse the oil into the hair shaft, stimulating oil secretion and increasing oil production. People with oily skin should avoid combing their hair for health reasons unless necessary.

To manage oily hair, in addition to understanding its causes, treatment methods are also very important. Based on individual hair problems, we can start with a stable lifestyle, adequate sleep, and a balanced diet, and then further take care of our hair. We can also go to the hospital to consult a doctor's advice. Finally, the editor hopes that everyone can have flowing and smooth hair.
