Causes and treatments for Oily Hair
Oily hair is caused by an overproduction of sebaceous glands that are located in the dermis. Very simply, the sebum (oil) that is produced is carried along the hair shaft to give the appearance of oily hair.
There are a few problems associated with this condition. 1) Oily Hair – aesthetically, oily hair is unattractive and feels unhealthy, of course. 2) Oily hair is a symptom of an oily scalp. 3) If an oily scalp is not treated, sebum can build up on the scalp along with dead skin and clog the pours on your scalp which leads to… 4) Flaking and Itchy Scalp.
Many people think they have dandruff. Most of the time, we find that they have overactive sebaceous glands – producing more oil than is necessary. Once they treat the scalp, they find that the itching, flaking and oily hair is manageable. So what we really want to focus on concerning oily hair is the scalp. Follicleanse, by Healthy Hair Plus, is the oily hair shampoo of choice for addressing these concerns.
Follicleanse contains Zinc PCA - an ingredient that diminishes the sebum flow. Shampooing with Follicleanse helps to irrigate and cleanse around the root of the hair. We have had outstanding success stories with Follicleanse. Understanding what an oily scalp can lead to helps to understand what can be a simple solution. For a powerful treatment, use Jojoba Oil (in conjunction with Follicleanse) to help dislodge dead skin and sebum build-up around the root of the hair.
Healthy Hair Plus offers an Oily Hair Shampooing Kit that incorporates Follicleanse, Jojoba Oil and No Weight Conditioner (the conditioner that compliments Follicleanse perfectly). Directions for use: Put a dime-sized amount of Jojoba Oil on top of Follicleanse in the palm of your hand. Shampoo. Rinse.
You can also employ a Jojoba Leave-In Treatment: After shampoo, pat hair dry. Massage a generous amount of Jojoba Oil into scalp. Leave in for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse. People with oily hair can use Follicleanse every day. For those with normal-to-oily hair, use every day until sebum production is regulated. Then use 2 to 3 times and week.
