Oily Hair

Hair, each strand of it, has its very own sebaceous gland, which produces oil to protect our hair by keeping it shiny and waterproof. When these glands produce more oil than required, then the hair becomes oily and too shiny and greasy. In order to minimize the production of oil from the sebaceous glands, wash your hair thoroughly, preferably twice a day. Excessive oil accumulates on the scalp of the head and forms dandruff. Thus, washing your hair with an ant-dandruff shampoo will help your issue of oily hair. With warm water (not hot), gently wash the scalp of your hair and rinse thoroughly to make sure that your scalp is not soapy from the shampoo. Do not use hair gels or hair lotions; this might make the condition worse. Visit a dermatologist if you are unable to control your oily hair through shampoos and other market products.
