Excessive sebum production following cleansing can lead to a perceived oily condition. This occurs when the scalp’s natural oils are not properly balanced, resulting in an overproduction of sebum. For instance, a clarifying shampoo used too frequently can strip the scalp of its natural oils, prompting the sebaceous glands to compensate and produce even more oil.
Understanding the factors that contribute to this condition is crucial for maintaining healthy hair and scalp. Identifying and addressing the root cause of the issue, such as improper product selection or infrequent washing habits, can lead to improved hair manageability and a decrease in the perceived oily texture. A balanced scalp environment is essential for optimal hair health and appearance.
