Introduction
In general, oily hair can be improved by washing the hair more frequently, adjusting diet, choosing suitable hair care products, and maintaining good lifestyle habits. If these methods are ineffective, other treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, scalp mesotherapy, scalp microneedling, red and blue light therapy, or radiofrequency treatment may be considered. When selecting a treatment, please consult a professional doctor to make an informed decision based on your individual condition.

If these measures are ineffective, medical aesthetic treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections, scalp mesotherapy, scalp microneedling, red and blue light therapy, and radiofrequency treatment may also be considered.

In daily life, wash your hair every day or every other day and regularly perform scalp massages. Diet-wise, increase intake of foods rich in vitamin B complex, such as whole wheat bread, eggs, and milk, while limiting high-sugar, high-fat, and high-calorie foods like fried chicken and youtiao (fried dough sticks). Choose shampoos specifically formulated for oily scalps containing oil-controlling ingredients such as tea tree oil, mint, and lemon, and avoid shampoos containing silicones or excessive moisturizing agents. Maintain healthy lifestyle habits by avoiding frequent touching of the hair, minimizing the use of hot air blow-drying, and reducing chemical treatments such as dyeing and perming.
