If your scalp is always easy to travel, then your scalp is like a vibrant ‘small oil field’, and your facial skin is closely linked to share the enthusiasm of summer - when the weather is so hot that people are sweating, your face is shiny, do not forget, your scalp is also quietly ‘oil’! When it's hot and sweaty, and your face is glistening with oil, don't forget that your scalp is quietly ‘fuelling up’ too! These oils, like the scalp's intimate little guards, sneak out through a hidden ‘sebaceous pipeline’ and coat every hair strand in their path with a thin film of protection. But if this oil is too enthusiastic, with too much secretion, it is not good, your hair is like being immersed in a bucket of oil, greasy, and makes people uncomfortable.

But then again, these oils aren't just a useless ‘nuisance’. They are more like ‘moisturisers’ for your scalp, keeping it hydrated and your hair smooth and silky. They also act as a ‘gatekeeper’, keeping out bacteria, dust and other nasties and protecting your scalp from the elements.

But if you are too diligent, every day with the scalp ‘cleaning’, the oil to wash the clean, it can be counterproductive. Scalp look, ‘Oops, my protective layer is gone!’ So it rushes to work overtime to produce more oils to fill the void. That's why, sometimes, the harder you wash your hair, the more likely it is to become ‘oily’.

A healthy scalp is like a well-tended garden with three guardians - oil, flora and metabolism - that work together to maintain the harmony and balance of this ‘scalp oasis’. However, once the grease this ‘naughty boy’ played the game out of control, the scalp began to become greasy, as if covered by a thick film of oil, serious, but also may trigger the scalp's ‘rebellion’, such as seborrheic dermatitis, folliculitis, and even let the hair! ‘Leave home’, resulting in hair loss. So, this grease ‘naughty boy’ why out of control? Reasons can be quite a lot, they are like a small secret hidden in life, and our genetics, age, gender and so on are closely related. Especially those bad habits, like the scalp ‘trouble’ behind the scenes, quietly affecting the health of the scalp.

For example, some people are born with an ‘oily body’, scalp oil secretion; or with the passage of years, scalp oil regulation ability gradually declines; or, bad dietary habits, such as eating too much-fried food, or sweets, so that the scalp also ‘taste’ to the greasy taste; and those who stay up late, lack of sleep days also make the scalp crazier. The oil is not only a good source of oil, but it is also a good source of oil for the scalp. Not to mention those invisible microorganisms, they quietly in the scalp ‘settled’, may also become the scalp out of oil ‘accomplices’.

When you feast on those high-calorie foods, like the body's ‘grease factory’ to add enough fuel, it excitedly begins to accelerate the operation, so that the sebum secretion rate is like a rocket, sebum is also like a tidal wave surging. When you still leave the mobile phone late at night ‘’, it is like the body's ‘biological clock’ pressed the button of chaos. The nervous system and endocrine system, the two original co-ordination of the ‘partner’ began to become busy, and the transmission of information between them was confused, resulting in the scalp oil secretion having lost the usual regularity, and become unusually active. Worse still, if you are over-enthusiastic about scalp cleansing, washing your hair frequently or using ‘hot weapons’ such as hair dryers, it's like giving your scalp a ‘clean sweep’. Although the surface looks clean and fresh it destroys the scalp's natural barriers, so that the oil secretion system mistakenly thinks that the ‘enemy is attack’, and then more desperately secretes oil to ‘defend the country’, the result is to let your scalp into The result is that your scalp is caught in a vicious cycle of ‘the more you wash, the more oil’.

Therefore, to keep the scalp healthy, like caring for a small garden, careful care, and avoid those bad habits so that the scalp of the ‘three guardians’ can live in harmony, and jointly guard this beautiful ‘scalp oasis’.
