Oily scalp — the scourge of the women of our time. Once upon a time, women washed their hair every 5-7 days and it really got dirty not at the speed of light. What do we have now? Many people need to wash their hair every other day, and some even every one. Of course, there are quite a few provoking factors that led to this. Including our actions with you. I propose to consider them today.
This topic is very close to me. I am a happy owner of oily scalp and very dry hair structure. Such a combo that you can just envy. I usually have a story like this. First day after washing — pleasantly clean and crumbly roots, and dry and moody hair along the entire length. Second day — the roots are no longer so perfect, the length is slightly better. Third day — oily roots, but flowing and revitalized hair. Such a movie.
Oily scalp: what not to do
I'll start with what I always thought was elementary, but as it turned out, not for everyone. No need to smear everything on the scalp! For some reason, many people apply balm and hair mask (designed to write the length) on the roots. What for? Well, manufacturers are writing. So, not everything that manufacturers write — true.
All such products must be applied to the hair, retreating from the roots! On the scalp, we apply only what is intended for it. Otherwise, both volume and purity are eaten.
DO NOT wash your hair with hot water either. This is straight mine. I love to swim and wash my hair in such water that an ordinary person will have the feeling that they want to cook him in a boiler. And I feel good! I love to warm my bones. Hot water — This is bad.
It is better to use warm water to wash your hair, and to rinse the conditioner, balm, mask — cool. Not icy, girls. Let's go without fanaticism.
The most common advice — wash your hair less often. In every environment there are people who have begun to wash their hair less often and they have stopped getting dirty so quickly. But! For many, this simply does not suit.
If the cause of oily scalp is aggressive or frequent cleansing, then yes. The reason is removed — the consequence is removed.
But the reason is not always this, more often it is inside. And then, due to the fact that we wash our head less often, the greasy secret becomes thicker and more viscous. As a result, it clogs up the follicles. This can lead to serious problems, an inflammatory skin disease, for example, the history is very unpleasant and requires a specialist. Plus it provokes hair loss.
How many times have I, naively, tried to wean my poor head from frequent washing. It was my personal nightmare every time. The head began to itch, and how many hairs were falling out! For some reason I endured all this, and once I endured to the point that oily dandruff appeared. Which comes back periodically, as now there are internal reasons.
Dry dandruff — this is when the head itches a lot and flakes are visible on the hair. With oily, the flakes do not crumble, but such an unpleasant oily film appears on the scalp. Which, after washing with ordinary shampoo, does not come to naught. And here comes the time for pharmaceutical products: sulsens, shampoos with ketonazole (Nizoral, Sebazol).
Dry dandruff from them can go away very quickly, for oily dandruff you need a good course, according to the instructions. Now I have Sebazol, which is several times cheaper than Nizoral.
The smell is pleasant (unlike Sulsena, I don't love her for that), the consumption is very small, since it is applied after washing on clean scalp. Such a bottle of 100 ml will last for 2-3 months. Perhaps I will write a separate article where I will consider all these tools in detail. THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISING. I have been buying all these products myself for about 7 years, this exactly that external treatment that is approved by specialists.
