Medical Conditions - Oily And Greasy Hair

Sebaceous glands of the scalp secrete an oily and greasy substance called sebum to protect the hair. A mixture of sebum, dirt, and sweat causes oily and greasy hair. Proper hair washes with shampoo decrease the oily coating. Though it recurs, it removes the oil build-up. Overwashing can also stimulate the scalp to produce more sebum. Some home remedies that help are using apple cider vinegar, essential oils, and aloe vera.
