Effective Home Remedies for Oily Hair
By sharib on January 4, 2014
The hair can be considered as oily if it has a greasy appearance from 2nd to 3rd day after
shampooing. The secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands of the scalp causes the oiliness.
The secretion of sebum is controlled by androgens which are present in small quantities in women.
Secretion of sebum starts at the puberty stage and the hair will be greasier in women during
menstruation. The oiliness of the hair makes it appear as stringy and dirty even though you wash
your hair regularly. Oil on the scalp is necessary to keep the scalp healthy and to prevent damage
to hair such as split ends and provide a good sheen. Oily hair can cause dandruff and itching.
Causes Of Oily Hair
Several factors are responsible for the excess secretions of oil from the sebaceous glands. Some
of them are
Heredity
Hormonal fluctuation in women due to menstrual cycle, use of birth control pills, etc.
Stress
Excessive consumption of oil rich food
Poorly adapted hair care

few minutes and then rinse it off completely.

every day.

The first point is the worst and the most wrong. Anyone who thinks washing your hair every
day is good is crazy. It strips hair completely of the natural oil and worsens the condition,
making the head produce even more oil to make up for the lost oil. How careless of this
author to promote wrong ideas. Please do some research? Washing hair everyday is
DANGEROUS.
