What causes oily hair?

To understand what causes oily hair, it helps first to understand the basics of how your scalp functions.

The scalp is just one of many layers protecting the head. It's responsible for protecting the body from irritation and for growing hair. To help maintain hydration in the hair, skin and follicles, the scalp produces oil known as sebum. Sebum also helps maintain elasticity and shine.

When genetics, overprocessing and styling or certain skin conditions like scalp seborrheic dermatitis, scalp eczema and scalp psoriasis clog follicles or dry out the skin and hair, excess oil starts to build up. This can result in oily hair.

For individuals with straight or thin hair, excess oil can cause hair to look much more greasy and shiny compared to someone with wavy, thick or curly hair. Knowing the difference between your hair type and what’s causing excess oil is the best place to start when you begin your search for solutions for your oily hair struggles.

Remedies for oily hair

At LovelySkin, you’ll find a range of hair products formulated to help cleanse, exfoliate, clarify scalp and hair, and absorb excess oil. Depending on what’s causing your oily hair, there are several remedies you can try to improve scalp and hair health.

Exfoliate

For starters, we recommend exfoliating and clarifying the scalp and hair to reduce the presence of buildup that could be clogging your pores or causing your hair to look greasy. We offer several hair treatments designed to help, like the Moroccanoil Oily Scalp Treatment.

Adjust how often you shampoo and condition hair

Since overwashing can strip hair of its natural oils, you may also want to reduce the amount of shampooing and conditioning you’re doing or switch your current shampoo and conditioner with options best suited for oily hair. You may even consider adding a dry shampoo to your routine in place of a second or third wash, like the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Nettle, a special dry shampoo formulated to absorb excess oil and impurities on the scalp and strands.

Avoid heat styling and use styling products with heat protection

With scalp cleansed and hair clean and hydrated, our next recommendation is to avoid heat styling and processing when possible. Since dry hair can lead to excess oil production and appearance, hot tools and coloring or chemical treatments can wreak havoc on the scalp and hair. If heat styling is necessary, protect hair with heat protectants and finish up with styling products that can keep oil buildup at bay.
