Doctors’ responses
Oily hair without dandruff or itchiness can be quite normal for some people. It’s often related to the natural production of sebum from your scalp, which can vary based on genetics, hormone levels, or even lifestyle factors. If you’ve been managing this by washing your hair every other day, that’s already a common approach. Indulekha Hair Fall Control Shampoo may help if it’s specifically aimed at reducing hair fall but note that over-washing can sometimes increase oil production as your scalp tries to compensate for the oils being stripped away. Make sure you’re using lukewarm water instead of hot water to avoid overstimulating oil glands. Be cautious with any new products like serums; occasionally, they might add to the residue if not washed out properly. Evaluating the overall formulation of both your shampoo and any additional products is important — sometimes, volumizing or clarifying shampoos can provide a temporary benefit by eliminating excessive buildup. Pay attention to your diet and hydration too; a balanced diet and adequate water intake can contribute to a healthier scalp. For excessive hair fall, monitoring changes in your lifestyle or any stress levels may be of assistance, besides considering a visit to a dermatologist or trichologist if the hair fall continues, especially if it’s significant. There’s no immediate need for concern unless coupled with other symptoms, but keeping aware of overall health and managing stress is always good practice.
