What many people who are dealing with oily scalp are finding is that they are also losing hair. Could an oily scalp lead to eventual baldness?
If you have an extremely oily scalp condition right now, you may do well to heed some advice on how to deal with this problem. More than likely your oily scalp is something that's occurring naturally due to excess buildup of natural oils in your scalp. Sometimes too it can result from the use of various haircare products such as shampoo, mousse, sprays, and gels.
What you need to do first to alleviate the buildup of these oils and avoid further loss of hair is to stop using any commercial products that contain a ton of oils in them. Some of the above haircare products often times contain a great deal of them.
Aim for the use of such ones with natural healing agents such as aloe vera and other natural substances. Many often wonder why an oily scalp leads to eventual hair loss? It's because your hair follicles need breathing room and they also need a good flow of blood to them to pull vital nutrients.
When you have a build up of oils in your scalp, you cut off this circulation and you also smother your follicles. In the process they eventually die and you're left with oily, thinning hair. Besides avoiding all of those harmful haircare products, you can even apply a home remedy or two.
One that works great for removing excess oils from your hair and scalp involves the use of lemon juice and water. Take 2 freshly squeezed lemons and place the juices from them in a quart of water. Rinse your hair and scalp with this mixture three times a week.
