Factors Making Greasy Hair More Pronounced

• Perspiration, excessive or not can make greasy hair more pronounced. So can naturally oily skin as well as smog, smoke, environmental toxins and wearing excessive amounts of makeup. Some hair experts definitely believe that spending time in smoke filled bars or other locations will encourage oil and grease to buildup on the skin and migrate to the hair.
• This is especially true to people genetically predisposed to greasy hair conditions.
• Greasy hair is more controllable on longer strands since the grease and oil has to travel further down the strands to the ends then with medium or shorter hair. Because short or very short hair covers a much smaller area adjacent to the scalp, grease and oils can build up much faster and be a more severe problem.
• Fine or thin hair may also experience more oil problems than medium or thicker strands. Wavy and curly tresses have less oil problems than naturally straight hair since it is easier for grease and oil to move down straight strands than wavy or curly ones.
