My hair often feels greasy and lacks elasticity. If I don't wash my hair for two days, it will be completely oily to the touch. This is definitely an annoyance for people with oily hair. Even if your hair is oily, your hair will still fall out. It’s really adding insult to injury! I usually grab a lot of it, but more will fall out when I wash my hair. Not sure how to handle it better?

Oily hair and hair loss are most likely due to seborrheic alopecia. If there is inflammation and odor, it will be more serious. You should go for a checkup first. Seborrheic alopecia is a common type of hair loss. If not treated properly, it can cause baldness and permanent hair loss.

Why do people with oily hair tend to lose hair?

A common theory is that excessive sebum secretion accumulates around hair follicles, blocking the hair follicles and causing hair loss. The sebaceous glands are under the skin, which means that the oil is inside the hair follicles from the day they are born, and then gradually overflows. There is no concept of "clogging". Moreover, the presence of oil can protect hair follicles against some bacteria and reduce the damage caused by hair traction to hair follicles. It is beneficial to scalp health. Only fungal infections caused by excessive oil will affect scalp health (dandruff). If your hair is often oily, wash it once every 2-3 days to keep your scalp clean and prevent unhealthy scalp caused by clogging of scalp hair follicles.

So the conclusion is: hair follicle blockage does exist, but it is not the cause of hair loss, but a normal phenomenon of human body oil secretion. Many hair growth products and hair growth treatments claim to be able to solve the problem of clogged hair follicles and unclog hair follicles. Such claims contain commercially packaged ingredients and are not trustworthy.

The fundamental problem of seborrheic alopecia lies in heredity and male hormones. The principle of hair loss still lies in the excessive secretion of male hormones and the failure to inhibit the production of DHT produced by 5-reductase. The cells in the hair follicles on the forehead, top of the head and back of the head are more sensitive to DHT, so these areas are most susceptible to hair loss. People who carry the "hair loss" gene will inherit it from the next generation, and the next generation will have the same physique.

Not all people with oily hair suffer from hair loss, but those with hair loss characteristics are more likely to have oily hair. Oily hair combined with hair loss will be more difficult to treat.

How to treat hair loss due to oily scalp:

People with oily scalp and hair loss should pay special attention to diet and avoid eating spicy, greasy and irritating foods. It will aggravate oily hair and hair loss. You should pay attention to a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables, such as amaranth, spinach, asparagus, banana, etc. These foods are rich in vitamins and can inhibit hair oil production.

Frequent perms and dyeing will damage the tissue of the hair and scalp. People who often perm their hair will have rougher hair and their scalp will be oily, which will lead to hair loss. Only by reducing the number of perms can you avoid oily hair and hair loss.
