Oily scalp and dry lengths?
Are you also struggling with whether to wash your hair today or not? Your lengths are dry and tangled, but your scalp is getting oily in no time! Maybe you're thinking about applying oil to your lengths before the shower or letting your hair rest because you washed your hair yesterday. But at the same time, you can't go to work with greasy hair. What exactly causes this imbalance in your hair and scalp?

And how do you solve it? That's what we're going to talk about today.

Scalp, hairs and sebaceous glands – how it works
Each hair grows from its own follicle. On the side of each follicle is an erector spinae muscle and a sebaceous gland. The erector spinae muscle helps create volume by lifting the hair from the scalp. When you shiver, it is the erector spinae muscle that gives you goosebumps!

The sebaceous gland produces sebum – a natural fat that lubricates and gives hair shine. However, when the sebaceous gland overproduces sebum, it can lead to an oily scalp and an unpleasant imbalance between the scalp and the lengths.

What causes the imbalance?
An imbalance in sebum production is often caused by a scalp that is too dry. This can create a vicious cycle: the scalp produces more sebum to compensate, which makes you wash your hair more often, which in turn makes the scalp even drier. The result? An oily scalp and dry lengths.

• Find a hairstyle that works even if your hair is oily, or use a natural dry shampoo like Fluffy .

Brush according to the Brushing Technique
Distribute sebum in the hair and balance the scalp by brushing your hair according to the Brushing Technique . Do 60-100 brushing strokes every evening. This exercises the hair erector muscles and increases blood circulation to the scalp, creating a healthy scalp environment.
