Just like the skin on your face, the scalp also contains sebum-secreting glands to keep it supple. However, due to a multitude of factors, such as diet and climate, sebum glands can go into overdrive, resulting in congested hair follicles and an oily, stringy mane. As a result, hair follicles get clogged, and if left unaddressed, it can lead to thinning hair growth. Target the issue with O’Right’s Camellia Oil-Control Shampoo to balance sebum secretion or try HASK’s Charcoal Purifying Shampoo to rid hair and scalp of grime and gunk.
