Question 4

Why does my hair get greasy after only one day?

Accepted Answer

Greasy hair is a common problem for many people. There are many factors that can contribute to greasy hair, including hormonal changes, diet, and stress. Hormonal changes such as puberty or pregnancy can cause your body to produce more oil than usual. This can lead to greasy hair because the oil on your scalp will not be able to escape through the pores in your skin and will instead sit on top of your head. Diet also plays a role in how often you have greasy hair. For example, if you eat foods high in fat or sugar it may increase the amount of oil produced by your scalp. Stress is another factor that can lead to greasy hair because it causes increased production of hormones like cortisol which increases oil production on the scalp.
