Your hair is often fatty and you don’t understand why? We found the reason! Explanations by a hairdresser.
Your hair can also get up on the left foot. And this, because of the excess sebum. Although its protective role is essential to the balance of your scalp, an excess sebum leads to a feeling of fat.
There are several causes at its excess: pollution, hormonal disruption, stress, too frequent shampoos … But there is also a product that can be pointed out, and that we do not always suspect. “The problem when using it is that it absorbs sebum on the surface, but does not regulate its production. Worse still, using it too often, we” stifle “the scalp, which compensates in producing even more sebum “informs us Nathalie dessert, hairdresser in the Blissim living room. We are talking about the dry shampoo. If you use it too often, it is better to curb the pace. The more you put it, the faster the hair regrets.
Our expert has also listed us the ingredients that accentuate the excess sebum: denatured alcohol (which dries up and irritates the scalp), “silicones (which coat the hair fiber but prevent it from breathing), or Still synthetic perfumes (they can cause irritation and itching).
To avoid the “even more fatty hair” effect, limit the use of dry shampoo from 1 to 2 times a week. Also, prefer soft and natural shampoos. Nathalie Dessert recommends notably Cut by Fred – Vegan Dry Shampoo (alcohol -free, silicone -free), or Rahua Voluminous Dry Shampoo (100 % natural, without residues).
Other tips: use natural powders such as cornstarch or white clay (to be applied slightly on the roots and brush well after). Be sure to space washes gradually: the more the hair is washed, the more the scalp produces sebum to compensate. And finally, make massages of the scalp to stimulate your blood circulation and allow better distribution of sebum.
In short, with a suitable routine and soft products, you can rebalance sebum production without having the impression of having oily hair!
