oily scalp

Slick hair roots

An oily scalp produces excess sebum, leaving hair looking greasy or flat.

The condition varies by genetics, hormones, and washing habits.

Products marketed for oily scalp typically aim to reduce buildup without overdrying: I have to wash daily because of my oily scalp.
