The other day, I got an email asking: “I’ve noticed that my hair has gotten a lot greasier lately. Could it be because there’s more hair loss? It’s because of my hair being oilier and my hair getting more oily.” There is a connection between falls.” There are actually many reasons why this is happening. I will discuss them in the next article.
Greasy hair, androgens, and hair loss/loss: The most obvious answer here is that oily hair is the result of excess sebum, DHT, or androgens. This may be the result of genetics finally rearing its ugly head. It can also be the result of a medical problem that causes excess androgen production. Examples of these are PCOS, certain endocrine disorders, or an excess or cortisol (in both men and women) or testosterone (in women.) Many people with genetic shedding, hair loss, or thinning have a sensitivity to androgens. It is not necessary that they produce more of these substances than normal. It is that they are overly sensitive to them so that even a little too much can cause damage or shedding.
Sometimes drugs can cause androgenic reactions. An example would be if you changed birth control pills and your new one has more progesterone (this can cause androgenic effects in some.) You may get similar reactions at certain times of the month (for women) . As your period approaches, you sometimes have more breakouts or oiliness on your face and hair because you have more progesterone to deal with.
Hair loss and inflammation from hair loss: Another possibility is that your scalp (and therefore your hair) is reacting to inflammation that is likely the result of too many hairs going into the resting phase at one time. This happens when you’re shedding too little (telogen effluvium). Your scalp may look sore, red, pink, or sore. As a result, your body produces more oil and sebum in an effort to soothe your scalp or combat inflammation. Of course, this can sometimes make the problem worse if you are as sensitive to these things as I’ve described.
Is Your Hair Getting Thinner?: Sometimes, I will tell people that their hair is becoming more dry and greasy when what is actually happening is that their hair is thinning (where their hair is becoming thinner and finer – usually due to AGA). Reason) and these limp, fine hairs aren’t able to handle the same amount of natural oils that they always were because the strands are getting shorter and thinner and the diameter and saturated and weighed down. In such a situation, I often tell people to use conditioner before shampoo and be careful of using heavy products. You’ll also need to shampoo regularly to keep fine hairs from falling out and sticking to your head and to keep your scalp healthy.
Do you avoid washing your hair for fear that more hair will fall out?: Speaking of washing regularly, I have found that it is very common to think about washing your hair less frequently when you are experiencing flaking or hair loss. It may seem logical that when you are losing a lot of hair every time you wash it, you would think that washing it less often might be a good idea. This can seriously backfire as it can make a bad situation worse.
To encourage healthy, thick growth, you must keep your scalp clean and your pores open. The appearance of your hair depends on how much is falling out and how much is regrowing. If you don’t keep your scalp as clean as it should be, you will damage your regrowth. And, the hair that is falling out when you shampoo was about to fall out anyway and there is nothing you can do to stop it from coming out once it is in the resting phase. (It’s actually in that phase for a few weeks before falling out.) So, although you may think you’re protecting yourself from damage by skipping a shampoo or two, you may be doing more long-term damage than you know. Are.
