If you don't wash your hair for a day, it will become tangled.

......

Is there any hope for this "greasy-haired alien"?

Let’s learn together

Why

Is your hair oilier than others?

The scalp is divided into three layers, from the outside to the inside, namely the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The physiological characteristics and functions of the scalp are mainly determined by the hair follicles and sebaceous glands below the epidermis.

1. Related to human metabolism

The health of the scalp is closely related to the basic metabolism of the human body. Some obese and overnourished people have problems such as high blood sugar and high blood lipids, and they also need to adjust their blood sugar and blood lipids.

2. Genetic oily skin

Genetic oily skin oil secretion is affected by genetics. If you are born with oily skin, your genes determine the oil production capacity of the sebaceous glands. If you have oily hair, your hair will become oily again soon after washing it.

3. Certain disease causes

Certain diseases may cause a lot of hair loss in a short period of time, which may be due to nutritional problems, such as iron or vitamin deficiency .

Seborrheic dermatitis can also cause excessive oil secretion, and can also manifest as red spots or small papules on the scalp. The scales on the scalp are greasy, with small particles and itching. The hair becomes greasy and dry, and may even cause hair loss.

4. Some hair looks oily

Some people have oily hair or curly hair. After the scalp is oily, the oil is not easy to adhere to the surface of the hair, so it will not look so oily. People with fine, soft and straight hair are more likely to look oily.

5. Age and gender factors

Age and gender factors: Men are in adolescence or young adulthood, and their scalp is prone to oiliness. Also affected by androgens, men are generally more prone to oily scalp than women. However, women may have higher sebum production during pregnancy and menstruation.

6. In addition, factors such as staying up late, irregular work and rest, and high psychological pressure may also aggravate oily scalp.

How to say goodbye to the trouble of "greasy hair"?

1. Control the frequency of washing your hair.

Frequent hair washing will reduce the oil content of the scalp, and the skin will compensate by increasing oil secretion, making the scalp even more oily, creating a vicious cycle. Different people have different hair washing frequencies:

Oily hair: It is more appropriate to wash your hair once every 1 to 2 days.

Normal hair: If your hair is not too oily, it is more appropriate to wash your hair every 2 to 3 days.

Dry hair: It is more appropriate to wash your hair every 3 to 4 days. If your scalp and hair are very dry and your hair is long, you can wash your hair longer depending on the situation.

2. Choose the right shampoo.

Oil-control shampoo with too strong cleaning power has a strong cleaning power. Although the cleaning effect is relatively good, it may excessively remove normal sebum, damage the scalp sebum membrane and skin barrier, cause the scalp to lose moisture, destroy the acid-base environment, and cause the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil, which may make the hair oilier the more you wash it.

3. You can use ketoconazole lotion or selenium sulfide lotion to wash your hair twice a week, which can effectively remove greasy scalp.

4. Quit smoking and drinking, eat more fruits, whole grains, and vegetables, eat less oil, salt, and sugar, eat a light diet, keep your mind relaxed, and stay up late less to greatly reduce sebum secretion.

Warm reminder: If you have other physical discomfort besides oily scalp, including but not limited to rash, chest tightness and pain, breathing difficulties, changes in stool characteristics, repeated diarrhea, etc., it is recommended to go to the hospital for medical treatment in time.
