Everyone wants healthy hair, and much attention is paid to over-the-counter products targeting it to enhance its nourishment and moisture. However, not enough attention is paid to your scalp, and the problems you may face there. And one of these problems that's debilitating for many people, especially during the warm weather seasons, is oily scalp.
Now everyone suffers from oily scalp some of the time, which makes it all the more important you don't disregard any concerns you have there. Some people, though, experience scalps that are incredibly oily as a result of extra sebum – or oil - making them feel both dirty and greasy. (1)
Thankfully, there is new information on how you can not only enjoy a HEALTHIER SCALP, but also HEALTHIER HAIR - with the right ALL-NATURAL HAIR CARE ROUTINE that can nourish ALL parts of your head.
In this blog we talk about what oily scalp is, and how you can enjoy a BALANCED and HEALTHY SCALP today!
The first thing to know about oily scalp is that it has direct consequences on your hair, creating more and more bad hair days as your days with oily scalp drag on. Not only that, but oily scalp can also cause your hair to carry a heaviness you can feel, and to cause annoying and unpleasant grease you don't want.
Now these problems can start on your scalp, with an excess production of sebum there. Unfortunately, too much sebum on your scalp can also lead to significant problems on your head, such as itchiness, dandruff, swollen hair follicles, and flakes. (2)
It’s also important you don’t get mad at the oil on your head, or yourself for having it. Oil, in fact, is super important, or else your hair would look lifeless. It’s also important you know that the amount of oil on your head changes as you grow older, and is something that needs to constantly be watched. (3)
To better understand why your scalp is oily, you need to know what your oil is made of. Well, sebum is made up of waxes, sugar, and fatty acids, which may sound like things don't want, but are actually critical to maintaining and achieving healthy skin. In fact, your body’s natural way of hydrating is with the aforementioned sebum. (5)
It’s also important you know where your sebum comes from. It’s your sebaceous glands under the skin hitched to your individual follicles that create the sebum we all need. Unfortunately, your scalp has more of these sebum-producing glands than much of the rest of your body, which can lead to more oil on top of your head. (5)
Another unfortunate truth of oily scalp is that it may not be possible to stop, because genetics can largely determine if you have oily scalp or not. This is why it’s so important you take care in the way you handle and manage your hair. This means being gentle when washing, and choosing the RIGHT ALL-NATURAL HAIR CARE PRODUCTS to help you naturally shine. (6) (7)
It’s also important you know if you actually have oily scalp. Chances are, you’ll know it based on whether the perceived level of grease in your hair is high after a short amount of time. You may also experience odor from your scalp, as well as a flatness in your hair because of the weight of your oil.
You may also know you have oily scalp because of the presence of dandruff. Dandruff can be an indicator that you either have more oil than you should, or that you might need more of it. A good way to know if this is your problem is by looking at the size of the flakes in your hair. If they’re relatively large, then this may mean there's too much oil on your scalp. (8)

Another possible indicator of oily scalp is a skin problem you definitely don’t want – acne. In fact, an oily scalp can lead to the unwanted accumulation of dying skin. You may also notice that your hair doesn’t rebound as quickly as you’d like after cleaning, which can lead not only to hair and scalp problems, but self-esteem and personal ones too. (9) (10)
Even though we’ve said having an oily scalp can be caused by factors outside of your control, it’s very possible that it can be made worse by factors within your control, such as the products you use. For example, more people than you may think are using the incorrect shampoo, which can lead to health problems you don’t want.
It’s also important you pay extra attention to the oil on your scalp now, as the weather gets warmer. This is because an increase in temperature can likewise cause an increase in sebum accumulation. This is why it’s so important you regulate and monitor the amount of oil on your scalp and hair today. (12)
And if you’re thinking to yourself, this isn’t a scalp problem, this is a hair problem, you may need to reconsider. This is because extra sebum as a result of what your scalp does can directly lead to hair that feels oily, and that looks even oilier. But always remember – this sebum is meant to help your hair and scalp – not hurt - so being kind to yourself and your sebum is a good first step in ensuring greater overall bodily health. (13)
