If your scalp feels greasy a few hours after washing, you are not the only one. An Oily scalp can cause hair to lose volume, dandruff, and even hair loss if not properly managed. Too much oil accumulation blocks the hair follicles, which makes the scalp itchy and susceptible to flaking.
Through our products, we try to help with scalp oily issues, which many of our underserved might find troubling. Laval, a premium skincare division of AVA Skincare Pvt Ltd, has designed the Cocktail Collection in mind to help control excessive oil while keeping the scalp and hair fresh using natural ingredients.
What Causes An Oily Scalp?
The skull has a natural system of oils, which is known as sebum, but excess sebum can be produced due to:
✔ Shampooing too frequently – If too much oil is stripped, your scalp will naturally want to adjust by producing more.
✔ Product Buildup – The Workload of shampoos and styling products can render pores ineffective.
✔ Diet & Stress – Unhealthy food and high stress levels can be linked to.
✔ Humidity & Irritants – increase the sweat as well as the oil content of the scalp.
Together, let’s explore the best skincare for an oily scalp for oil adjustment.
Best Haircare Routine for Oily Scalp & Hair Fall
1. Use deep cleansing shampoo
Regular shampoos may not be enough, you may need to use a combination of a shampoo and conditioner system, like a clarifying cleanser, which gets rid of dirt, oil, and product buildup.
Detoxifying Vodka Shampoo is a good option, it will cleanse the scalp and free it from oil while preserving the shine in your hair.
2. Hair mask tailored to the scalp
The weight of conditioners may be too much for oily hair, but a light mask will do the trick when it comes to nourishing hair without adding grease.
This simple Beer Hair Mask fits perfectly, it moisturises, controls oil and is good for strengthening hair, helping to mitigate hair loss.
3. Avoid overwashing your hair
Overzealous shampooing will remove the natural oils from your scalp, leading to more oil production. Instead, wash every other day and in between, utilise dry shampoo.
4. Minimise contact with your hair
Frequent hair contact can add oil from your fingers, leading to a faster onset of grease.
5. Wash with lukewarm or cool water
Sweaty water will overly stimulate the oil glands on your scalp. Warming them rather than assuming your vessel is ice will maintain balance.
Additional tips for oily scalps
Eat a well-balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, and proteins, cut down fried and sugary foods as this can lead to increased oil.
✔ Stay Hydrated – Drinking enough water keeps your scalp healthy.
✔ Choose Oil-Free Styling Products – Avoid heavy serums and creams that can make your hair greasy.
✔ Use a Satin Pillowcase.
