1. Causes of greasy hair

The scalp secretes a certain amount of natural oil to keep it moist. However, depending on each person, this amount of oil will be different.

In some cases, the scalp secretes a lot of sebum, which will make the hair greasy quickly. This is a problem that causes headaches for many people.

People with oily hair or a body with active sebaceous glands will have their hair greasy faster than others.

An imbalance of hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol in the body can stimulate the sebum glands to overwork.

This problem is common in people who are in puberty, pregnant, or premenopausal.

Stress causes hormones in the adrenal glands to increase, which also promotes sebum secretion in the body, including the scalp.

In addition, an inadequate diet and a lack of important vitamins such as vitamin B also cause the scalp to secrete a lot of sebum, making hair greasy quickly. This is a vitamin that plays a role in regulating oil on the scalp. Without it, oil secretion is disrupted and can increase oil secretion.

Habits such as sleeping with wet hair, not washing pillowcases, not cleaning helmets… also make hair greasy faster. Frequently stroking hair also makes hair greasy faster.

In addition, using hair care and styling products will increase irritation, leading to the scalp producing more oil, and hair being greasy after a short time of washing.

You can mix coarse salt (use small grains) with shampoo and apply it to the hair roots, close to the scalp. Gently massage to remove dirt, excess oil, dandruff… Then, wash your hair with clean water.
