Hello: everyone I'm dr. Felicia Singh. I am a consultant dermatologist and Cosmetic Dermatologist. Ah, we are going to discuss only scan the reasons for having an oily scalp and the remedies that one can use to treat an oily scalp. Always cab essentially means that there is an existed production of sebaceous secretions or oily production from the skin surface. Many people have this during period so for hormonal changes, especially during adolescence or any pregnancy. Some women also have no ice cap when they are on oral. Contraceptive pills or any other hormonal substitutes, some people do have an oily scalp, which is unrelated to periods of hormonal changes, and these are the group of people who usually come into the clinic complaining of having an oily scalp oiliness of this cap in it, particularly bad. During summers, because the dust and the Granton to collect on the skin and help to make it appear more shiny and greasy, which is not really cosmetically acceptable. So if you're someone who does offer from oily scalp, how do we go forwards about treating it? The most important step in treating an oily scalp is to use a shampoo little early. Some people has a dry scalp can get away by shampooing the scan once or twice a week, but people who have an oily scalp will need to shampoo more frequently. They may need to shampoo even every alternative, if required, it is a myth than people with only scared me to use a strong, shampoo, the oiliness of the scalp. If you use a very harsh shampoo, which dries up the scalp, the skin tends to compensate and producing more or a earth. So if you have oily your scalp use a gentle shampoo or use it two to three times a week, and when you shampoo, your hair gently, massage the scalp using the pump of your fingertips, avoid pulling on the hair too hard and a one scratching your head To firmly a fun of the shampoo with a gentle conditioner, you can use a mild conditioner. The conditioner is to be used only the lower half of your hair shaft, and it is to be avoided. Putting on being up light on the scalp. The food you eat. Also can contribute to the oiliness of your scalp. So if you are someone who suffers from an only scan and greasy looking hair, it is best to try and avoid fatty foods, try and avoid deep, fried foods and try to consume a healthy portion of fresh fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. The styling products that you use on your scalp on your hair can also make your hair look greasy and oily. So if you have an oily, scalp and reciprocally, hair avoid styling gels losses and other styling products. Another technique that I use for dealing with the oily scalp is something that we call the change technique. You can cheat people into believing that you do not have oily hair. You have nice dry, looking hair a simple way of doing. This is talcum powder or baby powder applied on your hair. When your hair looks oily, wait for about five minutes and then brush it off with a comb, what happens? Is the charcoal powder absorbs the excess oil on the surface of your hair, and is it a dry cleaning finished? Look under the technique of dealing with oily hair at home is to mix our two tablespoons of vinegar with water and applied on the scan for about 30 minutes. The vinegar gently exfoliates the dead skin on the scalp surface and also reduces the oiliness of your scalp. If you have any further queries about an oily, scalp or greasy, looking here feel free to contact me, my contact details are given in the description box below. Thank you.
