Getting rid of oily hair

-

OILY hair can be extremely frustratin­g and is undeniably one of the most common woes that the majority face in this modern era.

According to the 101 Hair Care clientele database, approximat­ely 96% are diagnosed with hair fall and scalp problems due to an oily scalp.

This condition affects people from all walks of life after puberty to their 40s and affects both genders.

Oily hair is the result of excessive production of sebum, which is the natural oil secreted by the sebaceous glands on the scalp.

It plays an important role for it seals hair cuticles and protects hair and scalp from moisture loss, harmful UV rays, bacteria and yeast.

Although sebum is beneficial to us, excessive or insufficie­nt production of sebum can cause problems.

Excessive sebum production gives the appearance of limp, sticky hair that looks unattracti­ve and makes it difficult to style. It may even act like glue, attracting and trapping dirt particles.

This in turn causes the developmen­t of an offensive smell, clumping of dead skin cells, hair follicle blockage and becoming a breeding ground for bacteria and mites.

If no proper action is taken, this condition can progress to scalp and follicle infection as well as premature hair fall.

Although this condition could lead to premature hair fall in both genders, 94% of the leading cause is due to male pattern hair fall, based on 101 Hair Care’s statistica­l analysis in 2012.

Symptoms of an oily scalp range from an overproduc­tion of sebum, thus giving a “sticky” feeling to the hair, a heavy feeling on the head, itchiness, dandruff, excessive hair fall, premature hair thinning and more.

It is very important to get your scalp condition diagnosed at an experience­d and reliable hair care centre and get customised treatment.
