Hi. People have different kinds of hair. Some have oily, some dry and some normal. Oily scalp means hair becomes oily within 2 days of head bath. It’s totally normal and it’s just hyper activity of sebaceous glands. Do use shampoos meant for oily scalp which has additional surfactants to remove oil better. It’s easily available in pharmacy or general stores. If you have additional itching or dandruff do consult dermatologist near to you. Take care.

Dandruff can be treated with lotions and shampoo (not commercial ones). Some people do have more oily scalp which cause visible flakes which we cause dandruff.

Please contact me with photos through online consult option or visit me for treatment.,
