A SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR OILY HAIR

Find out how to fight greasy hair due to sebum hypersecretion!

If you have been experiencing itching all over your scalp for some time and your hair appears shinier and greasier, then, most likely, you may be experiencing what, in medical jargon, is referred to as. “sebum hypersecretion.”. Generally, it presents with greasy and perpetually dirty hair and is very common, even affecting one in three people in the world, according to recent statistics.

But what is sebum hypersecretion caused by?

There are other various factors that can lead to this situation, including:

Prior predisposition: genetic and birth factors can influence hyperseborrhea;
Hormonal imbalances: The hormones, particularly androgens, influence sebum production. Hormonal imbalances , such as those occurring during puberty, pregnancy or menopause, can exacerbate the problem;
Diet: A diet high in saturated fats, refined sugars and processed foods can stimulate sebum production;
Stress: Stress affects hormone balance, which, as already explained, can alter sebum production.
Unsuitable hair products: Using hair products that are too harsh or comedogenic ( clog pores) can irritate the scalp and stimulate the sebaceous glands;
Washing too frequently or too infrequently: Both extremes can unbalance the hair’s balance. Too frequent washes can stimulate the sebaceous glands, while too infrequent washes can cause sebum and dirt to accumulate on the scalp;
Environmental factors: Pollution and moisture can exacerbate the problem;
Skin diseases: Some skin diseases, such as seborrheic dermatitis, may be associated with hypersecretion.

What are the consequences of excess sebum on the scalp?

Excessive sebum production by the sebaceous glands of the scalp has several consequences on the hair:

Oily and greasy hair: Excess sebum makes hair heavy, greasy and lacking in volume, giving it an unattractive appearance.
Oily scalp: The scalp becomes shiny and greasy, often causing itching.
Oily dandruff: Excess sebum can promote the formation of oily dandruff, characterized by yellowish scales.
Unpleasant odor: Excess sebum, as it oxidizes, can give off an unpleasant odor.
Folliculitis: Obstruction of hair follicles by sebum can cause inflammation and folliculitis.
Acceleration of hair loss: Hypersecretion of sebum can weaken hair follicles and contribute to hair loss.
Difficulties in hair management: Oily hair is more difficult to style.

Is there any way to counteract it?

As this is a very common situation, there are various ways to prevent and counteract sebum hypersecretion and oily hair:

First, it is important to wash the hair regularly, but not too frequently, as the sebaceous glands on the skin may be overstimulated;
in terms of products to use, sebum-regulating and anti-dandruff shampoos are preferred, such as RestaX Shampoo AF Men’s or RestaX Shampoo AF Women’s, which are ideal for counteracting some of the implications of excessive sebum production in the skin;
it is advisable to maintain a balanced diet, especially rich in fruits, vegetables and protein and low in saturated fats and refined sugars;

In summer, in addition to what was listed before, it is crucial to moisturize and use a sunscreen specifically for hair, such asTriVis UV Spray, and it is very important to rinse hair in fresh water when it comes in contact with sand or salt spray at the beach or chlorine at the pool.

Are there SPECIFIC products to counteract sebum hypersecretion?

To regulate sebum secretion and limit damage to the scalp, Wikenfarma research has developedRestaX Shampoo Sebocare and RestaX Shampoo Sebocare Women’s.
The shampoo, designed in versions specifically for men and women, does not contain any kind of synthetic active ingredient:
Restax Shampoo Sebocare is a shampoo with an organic, not aggressive and natural, recommended for treating oily hair, as it is enriched with Serenoa Repens oil extract. In contrast to competitors, which use only cosmetic and generalist active ingredients, the use of Serenoa Repens oil extract gives Sebocare Shampoo an edge because it goes to act directly on the causes of sebum hypersecretion as well as hair loss. In addition, in contrast to the other alternatives available, this product is 100% BIO and does not contain surfactants, which, by removing excess sebum from the hair, make it considerably drier.

Restax Women’s Sebocare Shampoo is unique because of its physiological action. “Simil-Drone Cosmetic”: in fact, thanks to this technology, its active ingredients penetrate in depth of the hair follicle, freeing it from excess accumulated sebum and making it transpire more effectively, as opposed to other shampoos on the market that merely remove sebum from the surface layer of the skin. For this reason, Shampoo Sebocare Donna turns out to be the product that acts most effectively in removing excess sebum.

Both versions are suitable for frequent, daily washings, thanks to their carefully designed formulation not to irritate the skin and to respect the hair structure.
