Hair loss can occur even without washing your hair. Excessive sebum production by the scalp’s sebaceous glands may lead to clogged hair follicles, thereby triggering hair loss. Individuals with oily skin or those who sweat profusely—especially during summer—are more prone to hair shedding. It is recommended to maintain regular scalp hygiene.
