You wash your hair in the morning, and by late afternoon, you already have that suspicious shine at the roots that rivals a jewelry store window display. If this happens to you, you're not alone. Many men have the same problem: oily hair that doesn't stay clean for even two days .
In this post we're going to tell you how to keep oily hair clean longer , why it gets oily so quickly, and what routine you need to keep that "oily" effect at bay.
Why does hair get so oily? Common causes of oily hair in men
Oil on the scalp isn't necessarily a bad thing: it's a natural defense that moisturizes and protects . The problem arises when there's an excess of sebum , and that can be due to several things:
-
Hormonal changes (thanks, testosterone)
-
Stress and lack of sleep
-
Using overly harsh shampoos
-
Washing your hair with very hot water or too frequently
Many guys make the mistake of thinking that "if I wash it more, it will be cleaner." But the rebound effect is real: the more you scrub it, the more oil your scalp produces to compensate .
And that's when you enter a vicious cycle: oily hair → daily washing → more oil → maximum frustration.
Anti-grease shampoo: what it should have (and what to avoid) if you have an oily scalp
The solution for oily hair isn't washing it more often, but washing it better . And for that, you need an anti-grease shampoo that cleanses deeply without irritating or drying out your hair .
What ingredients work?
-
-
Zinc PCA : regulates sebum production without leaving hair dry
-
Natural ingredients without silicones or parabens
-
Balanced formulas that respect the scalp's pH
-
What should you avoid?
-
-
Strong sulfates (like SLS), which wash everything away and leave the scalp "unprotected"
-
Heavy silicones that accumulate and weigh down the hair
-
Mineral oils and synthetic perfumes that can cause irritation
