Greasy hair
Defining your care regime

Hair tends to be greasy not because there is something wrong with the hair itself but in fact this is a scalp problem caused by the sebaceous glands.

The sebum (oil) from the sebaceous glands is released through the hair follicle canal and normally forms a natural protective film on the hair.  However when excess sebum cannot absorbed by the hair shaft, this makes the hair look greasy and stringy. People with greasy hair often have a dandruff problem too.

The right type of care for greasy hair

  • Cosmetically speaking, there are only two things that can help fight greasy hair: washing whenever it seems necessary and avoiding the excess use of care products.
  • Special shampoos for greasy hair contain agents that slow down the distribution of sebum over the hair, which reduces the appearance of greasy hair.
  • If there is also a dandruff problem, an anti-dandruff shampoo should be used.
  • If this doesn't help, a visit to a dermatologist is unavoidable.
  • Schauma 7 Herbs is the proven range for combating greasy hair.
  • For tackling both grease and dandruff, Schauma Anti-Dandruff Anti-Grease Shampoo is an ideal solution.
