JAKARTA - Do you have a problem with hair that is quickly greasy even though you just washed it? This condition is often misunderstood because the hair care products used are not suitable.
However, it turns out that the cause of this is not because of the problematic product, but the condition of the scalp and hair that changes.
"The accumulation of haircare residues, damage to hair fibers and scalp, and even the environmental influences on the hair can be the cause," said dermatologist, dr. Brianna Olamiju, quoted from Women's Health, Friday, April 10, 2026.
It is worth noting that the scalp will continue to change as you get older, so the hair care needs also change. Especially if it is influenced by hormonal changes such as during pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause.
Some diseases such as thyroid disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can also be internal factors that affect the condition of the scalp. These factors affect the production of sebum or natural oil that plays a role in maintaining the moisture and nutrition of the hair.
In addition to internal factors, there are also external factors that are important to consider. Such as excessive exposure to the sun, which can damage the hair's natural proteins and make it more fragile.
"Cold weather conditions, especially heat, also affect the moisture of the hair," he added.
Cold air can make hair dehydrated and easily expand. While hot air can make the scalp more oily so that the hair is quickly sticky.
Another factor that is often not realized is the quality of water used when shampooing. Water with high mineral content can make hair more fragile and difficult to maintain moisture.
With these various factors, the use of hair care products including shampoos that are commonly used no longer feel effective. The changing hair and scalp conditions do require a changing series of treatments.
To overcome this, you don't have to immediately replace all hair care products. Just add products that can help overcome the cause of the problem.
For example, if the problem comes from water that contains a lot of minerals, then you can use a clarifying shampoo so that mineral residues can be lifted. This will keep the hair fresh and not sticky quickly.
Not only that, changing daily habits can also help restore hair health. Starting from reducing the use of hot styling tools, not tying your hair too tight, to using heat-protective products on your hair or heat protectant.
