Many people in life are troubled by oily hair, hair is always oily, must be washed every day to maintain a refreshing state, if more than a day without washing, the hair will be oily and shiny, always giving people a sloppy feeling.
And for women with long hair, it is really troublesome to wash their hair every day, and many people think that the reason why the hair is oily is due to oily skin, so is this really the case?
Why does hair produce oil?
There are many pores on the scalp, and the tissue under the pores is the sebaceous gland, which is the source of oil from the scalp, and when the scalp feels the change in temperature or perceives but stimulated, the sebaceous gland will become active, and then it will increase the secretion of oil, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the scalp.
So it's not a bad thing to say oil, it's an act of self-defense by the body to protect the scalp.
So what are the specific factors that cause frequent oily hair?
1. The scalp flora is destroyed
The human scalp and fungal microorganisms can live in harmony, it is an independent microbial environment, and the environment of normal human scalp microorganisms is in a balanced state, so there will be no abnormalities in the scalp.
However, when this balance is disrupted due to fungal infections or hygiene problems, it can lead to the proliferation of certain microorganisms or fungi, which in turn can lead to oiliness.
2. There are a large number of mites on the scalp
If the number of mites is small, it will not cause much damage to the scalp, if the number of mites is large, it will eat the scalp, and some metabolic waste and oil generated will clog the pores and cause oil.
3. Irregular living habits
Oil is secreted by the sebaceous glands, and if the usual lifestyle habits are very irregular, such as staying up late and often eating irritating food, the sebaceous glands will become abnormally active for detoxification, and will secrete a large amount of oil on their own, resulting in oily hair.
How can I avoid oily hair?
1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of pillows and bedding
Pillows and bedding are a gathering place for mites, and if you don't pay attention to cleaning, a large number of mites will enter the scalp and eat the dander, which will cause clogged pores and cause oil.
Therefore, if you want to improve the oily hair, you must fundamentally solve the problem of mites, keep the pillow bedding clean, which can greatly reduce the number of mites and maintain the health of the scalp.
2. Use a shampoo with antibacterial effect
For people with scalp flora imbalance, hair loves oil, even if it is washed every day, it is difficult to improve, because the environment of fungal imbalance will not be affected by running water rinsing, and ordinary shampoo can not be improved, you need to insist on using shampoo with antibacterial effect for a period of time, which can significantly improve the problem of oily hair.
It can be seen that frequent oily hair is not necessarily caused by oily skin, but may also be caused by the factors mentioned above.
If you want to improve the oily scalp, in addition to referring to the methods mentioned above, you should also pay attention to developing good living habits every day, ensuring good sleep quality, not staying up late, and eating less spicy and stimulating food, which can reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, avoid excessive oil secretion by the sebaceous glands, and naturally improve the problem of oily hair.
