Oily Hair: Ask us anything!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The culprit is sebum (basically oil)- or to be precise- an imbalance in the natural production of sebum. Genetics, hormonal changes, or even stress can all affect production.   

Each hair follicle is linked to a sebaceous gland, which secretes sebum, a complex mixture of fatty acids, sugars, waxes, and other natural compounds. These form the hair’s hydrolipidic film- essential protection against water evaporation. 

So don’t hate too much on sebum as it actually protects and strengthens the hair and keeps it shiny and lustrous. 

But when there’s too much of a good thing, your hair looks slick and greasy. 

Genetics, hormones and stress all play a part as well as your hair type and external factors. 

Coarse or textured hair may still look fresh after a week, while fine hair may be oil soaked in a day.  

 If your hair greasy, it’s tempting to wash your hair daily but over-washing can strip the hair of its natural oils and stimulate the scalp to produce EVEN MORE sebum to compensate- not the outcome you were looking for we are guessing! 

So slow down on those washes and space them out! If you normally wash your hair everyday, it will take time for your scalp to adjust. Try swapping a wash with our Nettle Dry Shampoo. The natural nettle extract helps to purify the scalp and regulate oil production.

Yes, but it can take some stamina!  Gradually reduce the frequency of washing your hair. If you are washing it every day, start by extending to every second day. Dry shampoo is an essential part of the arsenal! While all dry shampoos will absorb excess oil, the addition of organic nettle in our dry shampoo for oily hair will actually help in your quest to regulate oil production, buying you another day away from the shampoo bottle. 

Expert tip- apply dry shampoo before bed so it has max time to absorb excess oil. Then brush or blow dry out the next morning. 

Yes but with conditions! 

Do you run out of conditioner faster than shampoo? Not a great sign for saying goodbye grease! Conditioner should be used sparingly on oily hair and only on the ends. If it’s detangling you need, brush your hair well before jumping into the shower as wet hair is much more fragile than dry.

Care for oily hair: solutions with natural active ingredients

Sebum is a naturally occurring oil of the scalp. It serves as a protective film against external aggressions and dehydration. When there is a sufficient amount of sebum our hair is radiant and silky. But under the effect of certain factors, this fragile balance can break down. Stress, pollution, poor diet, hormonal imbalance, inadequate care; there are many causes of greasy hair and it’s sometimes difficult to identify them.  

Faced with these aggressions, the sebaceous glands begin to produce excess sebum that suffocates the roots and weighs the hair down. The hair then becomes oily and tends to get greasy quickly after each wash. Oily roots are often accompanied by dandruff and dry, brittle ends. Fortunately, this problem is reversible, and solutions exist to restore the hair's shine and lightness.
Klorane Laboratories, specialists in botanical-inspired care, have developed innovative and effective approaches to gently combat these hair issues. 

Nature, an ally of care for oily hair

For over 50 years, Klorane laboratories have been committed to offering quality care products featuring natural ingredients carefully selected for the benefit of your hair and with respect for the environment. It is the combination of science and botany that has given rise to a wide range of products suitable for a wide variety of unique hair needs.
Among them are our sebum-reducing products. Oily hair needs special attention. This requires purifying the scalp and regulating sebum without weighing down the hair. With this in mind, Klorane has developed a range of gentle, natural products specially designed for hair that tends to be greasy.
The first step towards healthy hair is a good wash with a shampoo that suits your hair type. In the case of hyperseborrhea (excess sebum), Nettle works wonders by regulating the activity of the sebaceous glands, which you can achieve with our Organic Nettle Shampoo. Our Dry Shampoo with Nettle, just as effective as its liquid version, allows you to space out your shampoos and regulate how greasy your hair is. Quick, easy and eco-friendly! To complete the benefits of the shampoo, we advise to use a conditioner to apply on the lengths to smooth the hair, make detangling easier, and leave it shiny and soft.
