How to treat oily hair?

Oily hair is the result of excess sebum produced by the sebaceous glands in the scalp. This phenomenon can be linked to hormonal imbalance, stress, an unbalanced diet, or repeated use of unsuitable hair care products. The result: the roots quickly become greasy, the lengths become heavy, and the hair loses volume and shine.

To treat oily hair, the solution is not to wash it more often. Quite the contrary: washing your hair too frequently or with harsh shampoos will only stimulate even more sebum production. The key is to adopt a suitable hair care routine that gently purifies, rebalances the scalp, and regulates sebum over the long term.

What treatments are available for oily scalps?

An oily scalp should be treated with targeted products:

• A sulfate-free shampoo for oily hair, enriched with purifying active ingredients (white clay, zinc PCA, mint and nettle extracts). They cleanse without damaging the hair and provide an immediate feeling of freshness.
• A weekly detox mask, made with clay or sebum-reducing ingredients, to absorb excess sebum and cleanse the roots.
• A one-time scalp scrub that stimulates microcirculation and removes accumulated impurities (pollution, hair product residue).

In addition, dry shampoo can be used between washes to space out shampooing and restore lightness to the hair.

How often should I wash my hair?

Spacing out washes is essential to break the vicious cycle of hair becoming greasy too quickly. Here are a few practical tips:

• Use a gentle purifying shampoo 2 to 3 times a week maximum.
• Use dry shampoo to refresh your roots between washes.
• Avoid excessively hot water, which stimulates sebum production.
• Adapting your lifestyle: a balanced diet, proper hydration, and stress management contribute to regulating the scalp.

Over time, the scalp regains its natural balance and washing becomes less frequent.

What causes oily hair?

Oily hair is not related to poor hygiene, but to an overproduction of sebum. Among the most common causes are:

• hormonal imbalance (adolescence, pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations);
• an unbalanced diet (too high in fat or sugar);
• stress and chronic fatigue;
• pollution and fine particles that weigh down the roots;
• repeated use of hair care products that are too rich or unsuitable.

Identifying the cause allows you to tailor your skincare routine and choose products that are truly effective.
