Haircare oily hair

Oily hair is often caused by overactive sebum production in the scalp. However, with the right care and specially formulated products, you can successfully rebalance oily hair. 

Oily hair is primarily caused by overactive sebum production in the scalp. In addition to genetic predisposition, external factors such as 

• hormonal changes, 
• Stress 
• or unsuitable Haircare can have an influence on sebum production. 

The production of sebum protects the hair, but overproduction can lead to quickly greasy hair. 

Sebum production is a natural process that plays a crucial role in the health of the hair and scalp. It forms a protective film around each hair and keeps it healthy. 

• from drying out, 
• external environmental influences 
• and mechanical damage. 

At the same time, it ensures suppleness and natural shine. 

Balanced sebum production helps to maintain the delicate balance of the scalp - both too much and too little can cause problems: 

• Excess sebum can lead to greasy hair and clogged pores, 
• while too little production promotes dryness, itching and brittle hair. 

Proper care is therefore not only aimed at the hair itself, but above all at regulating the scalp.

• Genetics: A hereditary predisposition can lead to increased sebum production on the scalp.
  
• Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations, for example during puberty, pregnancy or menstruation, influence the activity of the sebaceous glands.
  
• Stress: Emotional stress stimulates sebum production and can have a negative impact on scalp health.
  
• Vitamin deficiency: A lack of essential nutrients can unbalance the scalp and lead to problems.
  

Typical signs are a strong shine and flat, quickly greasy hair without volume. The scalp and hair often feel oily and sometimes itching or dandruff can also occur. 

Another sign is the rapid greasing of the hair, often far too quickly after the last shampoo.

• High shine: The hair looks very shiny - a typical sign of excessive sebum production.
  
• Rapid regreasing: Hair looks oily again just a few hours after shampooing.
  
• Flat hair: The hair quickly loses volume, lies close to the scalp and looks weighed down.
  
• Itching, irritated scalp: Occasional itching or slight irritation of the scalp may occur.

In order to bring oily hair back into balance, it is important to provide the right care to give the overactive scalp what it needs. However, daily habits such as diet can also have an influence on sebum production.

Gentle but effective cleansing products are essential for treating oily hair. Use a mild, sulphate-free shampoo to gently remove excess sebum and rinse with lukewarm water to avoid irritating the scalp.

• Washing: Deliberately keep your washing routine to a minimum - ideally only every 2-3 days and with lukewarm water so as not to stimulate sebum production.
