Professional Care for an Oily Scalp
An oily scalp occurs when the sebaceous glands produce more sebum than the scalp and hair need. This can cause roots to become greasy quickly, leave the scalp feeling heavy or uncomfortable and contribute to recurring buildup.
Hormonal changes, stress, genetics, lifestyle and unsuitable hair-care products can all influence sebum production. Simply washing the hair more often does not always address the scalp concern, which is why a targeted professional scalp-care routine can be beneficial.
Why Sebum Balance Matters
Sebum is a natural part of a healthy scalp and helps protect both the skin and hair. The goal of an oily scalp routine is therefore not to remove every trace of oil, but to cleanse excess sebum and buildup while maintaining the scalp's natural balance.
Professional products developed specifically for oily scalp concerns can provide more targeted cleansing than a standard shampoo while supporting scalp comfort, cleanliness and freshness.

Oily Hair or Oily Scalp?
Hair that becomes greasy quickly is often a sign that excess oil originates from the scalp rather than the lengths of the hair. Understanding the condition of your scalp can make it easier to choose a routine that addresses the source of the concern instead of repeatedly treating only greasy-looking hair.
If the lengths and ends of your hair require additional conditioning while your scalp becomes oily quickly, complementary products from our Healthy Hair Solutions can be used to care for the hair without changing the purpose of your targeted scalp routine.
Is Oily Scalp Care the Right Routine?
Excess sebum is only one possible scalp concern. Flaking, tightness, sensitivity and increased shedding can require a different Mediceuticals routine.
Choosing products according to the actual scalp condition is more effective than selecting a shampoo based only on how the hair looks immediately after washing.
