How To Care For Oily Male Hair
It’s the old story: we wash our hair in the morning and at night it’s already greasy, heavy, dirty. This happens when the scalp sebaceous glands are very active and produce excess sebum. In short hair, sebum spreads even faster to the hair, increasing the feeling of greasiness. It is common, however, that it is a consequence of habits that favor the production and accumulation of fat.
Provillus is natural protection of the scalp. In excess, it not only makes the hair greasy, but also favors the proliferation of dandruff-causing fungi, and impairs hair growth by clogging the follicles where the strands are born. Sweat, pollution dirt, and gel, ointment, or wax residue, combined with hair fat, make a bad hair health. So much so that one of the frequent causes of non-hereditary hair loss is inflammation of the scalp caused by wrong hygiene.
Super greasy hair is also a consequence of banal attitudes such as using the wrong shampoo or too hot a dryer. Oils can be aggravated by even unconscious gestures such as rubbing your hair all the time or rubbing your scalp hard while washing.
To reduce and control excess oil, just change some mane care habits.
Habits that make hair greasy
Very hot water dries out the scalp and stimulates the sebaceous glands to work harder to restore the oil that is natural protection. Wash your hair with warm water and, if you want, give it a last rinse with cold water to close the hair cuticles. No need to take a warm or cold shower: just lower the temperature when washing your hair.
Sleeping with wet hair
The right thing is to dry your hair well before bed. But towel drying is not enough, because the scalp remains moist.
Use very hot dryer
The problem is the same as hot water: when used at too high a temperature, excessive heat from the dryer causes extreme dryness of the hair (even in winter) and activates the production of sebum on the scalp. Set the dryer to the lowest temperature. Caution is even more important if you use it daily.
