油性頭皮
油性頭皮是一種常見的頭皮狀況，主要特徵是皮脂腺分泌過多的油脂，使頭皮和頭髮顯得油膩。這種情況不僅影響個人的外觀，還可能引發一系列頭皮健康問題。以下是油性頭皮的主要特性及護理方法。
油脂分泌過多
油性頭皮的最主要特徵就是皮脂腺分泌過多的油脂。皮脂是由皮脂腺分泌的一種油性物質，它的主要作用是保護和潤滑頭皮和頭髮。然而，當皮脂分泌過多時，會在頭皮表面形成一層油脂，使頭皮看起來油膩、發亮，並且頭髮也會變得沉重和黏膩。
護理方法：
- 使用專為油性頭皮設計的Hair Freshness Shampoo / Hair Fluffy Shampoo，含有: 控油成分 PCAZinc 抑制5-α還原酶來抑制油脂分泌，控制DHT轉化。配合黃金比例天然植物萃成份，適用於油性頭皮及頭皮舒緩。能做到油脂清潔，又能做到水油平衡。
- 避免使用過於滋潤的護髮產品，特別是護髮素應盡量避免接觸頭皮。
易滋生頭皮屑?
油性頭皮容易滋生頭皮屑，這是因為過多的油脂會成為真菌的養分，特別是馬拉色菌（Malassezia），它會分解皮脂，產生引起頭皮屑的脂肪酸。這些脂肪酸會刺激頭皮，引發頭皮屑和瘙癢。
油性頭皮如果沒有適當的護理，確實可能導致毛囊阻塞和掉髮問題。以下是一些有效的護理方法和預防措施：
1. 選擇合適的洗頭水：
- 使用NHRC專為油性頭皮設計的洗頭水，這類產品可以幫助控制頭皮的油脂分泌並深層清潔毛囊。
2. 適當頻率的洗頭：
- 油性頭皮可能需要比乾性或正常頭皮更頻繁的洗頭，通常建議每天或每隔一天洗一次頭。
3. 溫水洗頭：
- 使用溫水而非熱水洗頭，熱水可能刺激油脂分泌更旺盛。
4. 避免過度刺激頭皮：
- 洗頭時輕輕按摩頭皮，避免用指甲抓撓，以免破壞頭皮或加劇油脂分泌。
5. 適當使用護髮素：
- 護髮素只應用於髮梢部分，避免塗抹在頭皮上，以減少油脂累積。
6. 定期進行療程深層清潔：
- 按照個人情況定制療程，配合頭皮專用的產品，幫助清除毛囊內的死皮細胞和油脂堆積。
預防毛囊阻塞和掉髮
- 保持頭皮清潔：定期和適當地清潔頭皮可以預防油脂和污垢堵塞毛囊。
- 改善生活習慣：飲食均衡，避免攝取過多油膩和高糖食物，增加蔬菜和水果的攝入，有助於改善頭皮狀況。
- 適度運動：增加血液循環，有助於改善頭皮健康。
- 避免過度使用造型產品：如髮膠、髮蠟等，這些產品可能會加重毛囊的阻塞。

Oily Scalp
Oily scalp is a common scalp condition characterized by excessive secretion of oil by sebaceous glands, making the scalp and hair appear greasy. Not only does this condition affect an individual's appearance, it can also cause a range of scalp health problems. Here are the main characteristics and care methods for oily scalp.
Excessive secretion of oil
The main characteristic of an oily scalp is excessive oil secretion from the sebaceous glands. Sebum is an oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands. Its main function is to protect and lubricate the scalp and hair. However, when sebum is secreted too much, a layer of oil forms on the surface of the scalp, making the scalp look greasy and shiny, and the hair can become heavy and sticky.
Care method:
- Use Hair Freshness Shampoo / Hair Fluffy Shampoo specially designed for oily scalp, containing: oil-controlling ingredient PCAZinc inhibits 5-alpha reductase to inhibit oil secretion and control DHT conversion. Combined with the golden ratio of natural plant extracts, it is suitable for oily scalp and scalp soothing. It can clean grease and balance water and oil.
- Avoid using hair care products that are too moisturizing. In particular, conditioners should avoid contact with the scalp as much as possible.
Is it prone to dandruff?
Oily scalp is prone to dandruff because too much oil can become nutrients for fungi, especially Malassezia, which breaks down sebum and produces fatty acids that cause dandruff. These fatty acids can irritate the scalp, causing dandruff and itching.
An oily scalp without proper care can indeed lead to clogged hair follicles and hair loss. Here are some effective care methods and preventive measures:
1. Choose the right shampoo:
- Use NHRC shampoo specially designed for oily scalps. This type of product can help control scalp oil secretion and deeply cleanse hair follicles.
2. Wash your hair with appropriate frequency:
- Oily scalps may require more frequent shampooing than dry or normal scalps, with daily or every other day washing usually recommended.
3. Wash your hair with warm water:
- Use warm water rather than hot water to wash your hair, as hot water may stimulate more oil secretion.
4. Avoid over-stimulating the scalp:
- Gently massage your scalp when washing your hair and avoid scratching with your nails to avoid damaging the scalp or exacerbating oil secretion.
5. Use conditioner appropriately:
- Apply conditioner only to the ends of the hair and avoid applying it to the scalp to reduce oil accumulation.
6. Perform regular deep cleaning treatments:
- Customize the treatment according to individual conditions, with scalp-specific products to help remove dead skin cells and oil accumulation in hair follicles.
Prevent hair follicle blockage and hair loss
- Keep your scalp clean: Cleaning your scalp regularly and properly can prevent oil and dirt from clogging the hair follicles.
- Improve living habits: Eat a balanced diet, avoid excessive intake of greasy and high-sugar foods, and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, which will help improve scalp condition.
- Moderate exercise: Increases blood circulation and helps improve scalp health.
- Avoid excessive use of styling products: such as hair gel, hair wax, etc., as these products may aggravate the obstruction of hair follicles.
If you find that scalp problems persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a professional scalp therapist at Natural Hair Recovery Center® for more professional judgment and treatment recommendations.
