Why does my hair get oily and fall out?

Generally, oily hair accompanied by hair loss may be caused by genetic factors, unhealthy lifestyle habits, over-cleansing or improper cleansing, endocrine disorders, seborrheic dermatitis, and other factors. When necessary, it is recommended to seek timely medical advice and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Genetic Factors

Genetics can affect the sebaceous gland secretion function of the scalp and the sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens, leading to oily hair and hair loss. It is recommended to use products such as Polygonum multiflorum tablets, Yishen Shengfa Pills, and Yangxue Shengfa Capsules as directed by a physician to delay the progression of hair loss, along with proper scalp care in daily life.

2. Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits

Unhealthy habits such as staying up late, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can disrupt normal metabolic rhythms, stimulate excessive sebum secretion by sebaceous glands, resulting in oily hair, and long-term accumulation can lead to hair loss. It is recommended to improve unhealthy lifestyle habits, eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and other light yet nutrient-rich foods, reduce the intake of high-fat, high-sugar, and high-fat foods, and quit smoking while limiting alcohol consumption.

3. Over-Cleansing or Improper Cleansing

Excessive cleansing can disrupt the oil balance of the scalp, causing the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil reflexively. Improper cleansing may further increase hair oiliness, and clogged hair follicles can easily lead to hair loss. It is recommended to adjust shampoo frequency according to scalp oiliness and choose suitable shampoo products, avoiding overly moisturizing or low-quality products.

4. Endocrine Disorders

Long-term sleep deprivation, excessive stress, or conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome may cause abnormal elevation of androgen levels in the body, leading to increased sebum production by sebaceous glands, resulting in oily hair and hair loss. It is recommended to regulate daily routines, ensure sufficient sleep, avoid staying up late, relieve stress appropriately, and actively treat underlying diseases.

5. Seborrheic Dermatitis

Excessive sebaceous gland secretion produces too much oil, triggering an inflammatory response that causes seborrheic dermatitis. Inflammatory irritation affects follicle health, leading to hair loss. Follow medical advice to use medications such as clobetasol propionate cream, betamethasone valerate cream, or halometasone cream for treatment, while maintaining regular sleep patterns and a healthy diet.

In daily life, frequent hair dyeing and perming should be avoided to prevent damage to the scalp and hair, which can increase oil secretion and the risk of hair loss.
