An oily scalp can be aggravating, making hair limp, greasy, and difficult to style. Excess oil production occurs when the sebaceous glands become overactive, causing clogged follicles and scalp irritation. Our specialised treatments address the underlying cause, restore scalp balance and lower sebum production. We use a personalised approach to help you achieve a healthier scalp and more manageable hair.
An oily scalp occurs when the scalp's sebaceous glands produce an excess of sebum, or natural oil. While sebum is necessary to keep the scalp and hair hydrated, excessive production can cause persistent greasiness, clogged hair follicles, and unpleasant symptoms such as itching and irritation. This imbalance frequently causes hair to appear limp, greasy, and difficult to manage, affecting both the health and appearance of the hair.
Genetic factors have a significant influence on sebum production levels, so some people are predisposed to having oily scalps. If oily skin or scalp runs in the family, the sebaceous glands become more active, producing more oil than necessary. This inherited trait frequently results in chronic oiliness and scalp discomfort.
Certain dietary and lifestyle choices can cause excessive sebum production, affecting scalp health. Diets high in fat, as well as chronic stress, can exacerbate oiliness by causing hormonal imbalances that stimulate sebaceous activity. These factors, combined with inadequate scalp care, frequently result in persistent greasiness and scalp irritation.
Hormonal changes influence sebum production, particularly during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. When hormones fluctuate, they can overstimulate the sebaceous glands, resulting in excessive oil on the scalp. This change frequently results in a greasy feeling and visible oiliness, which can be difficult to control.
External factors, such as humidity and pollution, can stimulate the scalp to produce more oil as a protective mechanism. High humidity levels cause sweat and oil to mix, exacerbating scalp greasiness, while pollutants in the air can clog pores, resulting in increased oil production and potential scalp problems.
When the scalp produces excess sebum, the hair appears oily almost immediately after washing. This persistent greasiness makes it difficult to maintain a fresh, clean appearance and can be frustrating as hair loses volume and cleanliness quickly, even with regular washing.
Excess oil on the scalp can cause discomfort, itching, and irritation. Sebum accumulation traps dirt and debris, resulting in inflammation and discomfort. This irritation can disrupt daily activities because the scalp is constantly itchy and inflamed, affecting overall well-being.
When the scalp produces excessive oil, it weighs down the hair, making it appear limp and greasy. The excess oil coats the hair strands, making them look dull and dirty. This makes styling difficult because the hair becomes heavy, unmanageable, and lacks volume and texture.
