Oily Dandruff: Causes, Treatment & Prevention

What is Oily dandruff?

Greasy scalp with dandruff. It is mainly caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia due to excess oil secretion from the sebaceous glands, stimulating the scalp and leading to dandruff.

Causes of Oily Dandruff: 

Hormonal imbalances, poor scalp hygiene, unsuitable products, diet, nutrition, stress, and lifestyle choices.

Symptoms of Oily Dandruff:

  • Overgrowth of Malassezia can stimulate the scalp and cause dandruff.
  • Your scalp is oily and itchy.
  • The flakes are sticky.
  • The flakes are larger (some of the cases are small).
  • The flakes are yellow (some of the cases are white).

“I have noticed less sensitivity on my scalp and my hair is softer than before. The dandruff is not completely gone but has subsided quite a bit. I like that this shampoo doesn’t have a strong scent and it is very easy to use.”

Q&A

Should I shampoo everyday? Why?

Having an oily scalp indicates that your hair gets greasy fast. Using an oil-balancing shampoo daily can manage the oil, reducing itchiness and dandruff.

Can a strong cleaning shampoo reduce oiliness on a greasy scalp?

Absolutely not! While applying conditioner immediately after shampooing may provide temporary relief, it can actually lead to scalp dryness and increased oil production. A more effective approach to combat greasy hair is to maintain a balanced scalp secretion.

What sets oily dandruff and dry dandruff apart?

Oily dandruff is usually caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia due to excess oil secretion from the sebaceous glands, which can stimulate the scalp and lead to dandruff formation.

Dry dandruff occurs when the scalp lacks natural oils, causing the scalp to dry out and shed flakes. Regularly moisturizing the scalp is the best solution for treating dry scalp.
