EXCESS SEBUM

image

Sebum is a fatty secretion produced by the sebaceous glands of the skin which, mixed with sweat, protects the skin from drying out. Several factors can cause the development of sebum. A diet too rich in fat, hormonal changes, a lack of vitamins, intoxication or stress can all cause this hair disorder.

As we age, we can also develop oily hair and scalp. The accumulation of sebum hinders the development of new hair and if there is new hair then it tends to thin out over time. It can also be associated with a more serious hair problem such as alopecia.
