What are the causes of fatty hair?
What are the causes of fatty hair? The sebaceous glands in your hair produce excessive amounts of sebum when the scalp becomes irritated or dry. Fatty strands of hair are often the result of a thyroid gland dysfunction. This problem affects both pubescent girls and menopausal women. In some cases, fatty hair is caused by high testosterone levels, genetic predispositions or a vitamin-deficient diet. The fatty strands of hair may also result from improper hair care such as washing the hair improperly or using cosmetics, which are too strong or too weak and are not suitable for individual use. The best solution is mild preparations, which reduce sebum production and nourish the skin and hair from within.
How Do I Care for My Hair with Excessively Fatty Strands?
People with fatty hair first need to take care of it:
Such strands should be combed as infrequently as possible – preferably only in the morning and evening. Brushing your hair as infrequently as possible may therefore lead to an excessive sebum production.
It is equally important to choose the right hairstyle. Short layered hairstyles work best for your hair.
A wide-toothed comb is best for greasy hair.
It is best to take care of fatty strands of hair from the inside as well. For this purpose, animal fats should be kept to a minimum in your diet. The diet should be rich in products rich in zinc such as milk, eggs, yeast and spinach. You should also include products that contain vitamin B6, such as bananas, sardines and liver.
