Hi,

Hair grows from the hair follicle with Sebaceous glands in the follicle. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum which nourish the hair with the essential nutrients. When there is excess sebum, it may cause oily scalp which may cause dandruff and hair-fall. Oily scalp attaches excess dirt and clogging of the hairs results in infection and damage to the hair follicle.

Oily scalp can be protected by maintaining proper hygiene and clean scalp. Daily hair care shampoo helps to clear the oily scalp and prevents the clogging oh hairs and infection. Discuss with dermatologist and have a scalp check up for any damage and further management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
