If your hair is shiny despite the fact that you wash it regularly, then the problem is the overactivity of the sebaceous glands, which are located at their base. They produce excess sebum. This can happen for several reasons:
- intestinal diseases;
- hormonal changes;
- faults of the nervous system.
An oily scalp without bodily diseases indicates bad habits, such as excessive scalp massage, frequent washing of the hairline, which can contribute to an increase in sebum. Constant high humidity and air temperature can become predisposing factors to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands. If you have an oily scalp, eat he althy, take time to exercise, spend more time in the fresh air, the problem may disappear by itself.

Such an environment leads to the multiplication of bacteria and blockage of the sebaceous ducts. If the specialist did not find anything serious, treatment can be carried out at home using masks.
Their periodic use will only benefit the hair. Oily scalp is perfectly cleansed with an egg yolk mask. To prepare it, you need to make a mixture of one egg yolk, half a tablespoon of medical alcohol. A little water is added to the resulting mass, applied to clean hair, covered with a plastic bag and incubated for ten minutes. Then rinse with water, you can add shampoo.
