Oily scalp: causes and care

Oily scalp is a condition in which hair quickly loses its freshness, becomes shiny at the roots, and feels “dirty” even after washing.

Most often, the problem arises not because of “dirt,” but due to an imbalance in the sebaceous glands.

🧬 Causes of an oily scalp

Main factors:
• overactive sebaceous glands
• hormonal changes
• improper care
• use of harsh shampoos
• lack of regular cleansing

The situation is often made worse by trying to over-dry the skin.

⚠️ Common skincare mistakes

Many people make the same mistakes:
• using the wrong shampoos
• neglecting to exfoliate the scalp
• not using a post-cleansing treatment

This leads to even more active sebum production.

🧴 How to Care for an Oily Scalp

An effective routine looks like this:

1. Sebum-regulating shampoo
It doesn’t dry out the scalp but cleanses it thoroughly.

2. Scalp exfoliation
Helps deeply cleanse pores and reduce oiliness.

3. Balancing products
Serums or toners that normalize the skin’s condition.
