What causes oily hair on the forehead?

Oily hair is a common problem. Especially for those who have bangs on their foreheads, their hair is more likely to become greasy. Even if they wash their hair every day, it will soon look wispy again, which greatly affects their personal image. So what exactly causes this to happen? Let’s take a look at the editor’s detailed introduction below.

Sebaceous gland secretion is the direct cause of oily hair. It is affected by male hormones and is related to genetics, lifestyle habits, environment and other factors. It is a normal physiological phenomenon for the scalp to produce some oil. A certain amount of oil can protect the skin, but excessive secretion becomes a problem. The main reasons that lead to oily scalp are:

1. Eating greasy and spicy food and having bad living habits. Modern people like high-calorie, high-fat foods, and eat greasy and spicy foods, which will stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands. Staying up late, playing computer games for long periods of time, living a fast-paced life, and high-intensity work pressure will all affect the body's endocrine system and aggravate oily scalp.

2. Washing your hair too frequently will also cause it to become oily. Regardless of whether the hair is clean or not, it has become a habit for many urban white-collar workers to wash their hair once when they get home at night and again when they go out in the morning. Sebum is secreted based on information feedback. After washing your hair frequently to wash away the oil on your scalp, the sebum will receive the information and then further secrete oil, which will lead to more and more secretion and oilier hair.

3. Some shampoos cannot control oiliness but instead increase oiliness. Some shampoos may not have a good degreasing or fat-controlling effect, but instead have more of a moisturizing effect. This has little effect on the secretion of the sebaceous glands. Not only does it fail to control oil, but on the contrary, the moisturizing ingredients will intensify oil secretion.

These are all reasons why hair becomes greasy easily. If you have any of these conditions, you must make corresponding corrections in time. It is best to change to a shampoo containing natural plant ingredients such as ginger juice. Do not face the computer for a long time. If you persist in doing so for a long time, the secretion function of the sebaceous glands can be restored to normal.
