Incorrect hair care can make sebum glands active, causing hair to quickly lose its volume.
One of the common mistakes is washing your hair too often. When the scalp is overly cleansed, the sebaceous glands will work harder to compensate for the lost natural oil. According to dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, an expert at Mount Sinai Hospital (USA), continuous shampooing can cause the scalp to temporarily dry out and stimulate the body to produce more oil. "When too much natural oil is removed, the scalp will increase oil secretion to protect the skin surface," he said.
Another habit is using too much conditioner or applying conditioner close to the roots. Conditioner is designed to nourish the body and ends of the hair. When applied directly to the scalp, moisturizing ingredients can make hair quickly greasy and heavy.
In addition, not completely washing your hair thoroughly is also a cause of hair becoming quickly greasy. Wash oil, conditioner or styling products residue left on the scalp can accumulate and make hair lose its freshness.
According to hair care expert Anabel Kingsley, an expert at the Trichological Clinic (UK), choosing products suitable for hair type and cleaning the scalp properly is very important. She said that gentle massage when shampooing and rinsing the product can help the scalp become healthier and limit greasy hair.
Experts recommend washing your hair at an appropriate frequency, using conditioner properly, and thoroughly cleaning your scalp. Small changes in hair care habits can help keep your hair clean and voluminous longer.
