Oily hair is a common problem known to every second girl and many men.
Washing curls every day is not a solution to the problem. In this way, you will force the skin to secrete even more oil.
To prevent hair from getting oily at the roots as quickly, you need to identify the problem and choose the right treatment. Natural ingredients are a good solution as you can easily make masks at home and they will give your hair a neat look in no time.
Causes of excessive oily hair:
- Improper hair care can stimulate the skin to produce more oil. This includes washing your hair too often, using very hot water, and drying it with a hair dryer.
- Improper use of balms and masks. Women often apply these cosmetics to the roots, and not just to the tips, which is strongly discouraged.
- Fatty and spicy foods cause excessive function of the sebaceous glands.
- Constant stress can also affect normal sebum production.
- Certain medications, such as antidepressants, antibiotics, and hormonal contraceptives, contribute to oily hair.
- Various chronic diseases and hormonal imbalance stimulate the production of excess sebum.
To reduce oily hair, you first need to find the problem and then try to fix it. You will learn that the most common products that are at hand can help with this.
