I had a client in my chair that asked “Can it be normal for my hair to be oily and my scalp to be dry?” Of course, and it can be the other way around. We talked about this very subject in the last newsletter. We get and understand it! Straight, curly, coarse, medium, or fine, sometimes our hair and scalp can be unbalanced when it comes to our oil levels.
I have had clients who will have BEAUTIFUL coils. Their hair would be extremely dry, yet their scalp would be oily. Their hair would be damaged. After all, they would shampoo their hair 2 - 3 times a week because their scalp would be so oily, it would make their scalp itchy, and sometimes flaky.
If you have between 2A - 3B hair type, thick to medium hair, the hair can be oily and the scalp dry. Why? Well, your natural oils work themselves down but it doesn’t reach the scalp. The same is true when we apply a shine spray to our hair. The hair is so thick it never reaches our scalp and we just don’t think about it. Now if you have 3B - 4C hair type, most likely you have a normal - oily scalp, and your hair is dry during the Fall/Winter season.
The reason for this is that we don’t protect our hair properly, for instance, we’ll apply a spray of ail our hair because we want that bounce. Also, we’re not brushing our hair enough to move those oils around to spread through our hair.
Another cause is the change in our diets. During this time of year, Fall/Winter we eat more hearty foods that we like to say "I need something that will stick to my bones." Some meals that are heavy and warm tasting for fall and winter may be hearty to keep us warm, yet lack some nutrients the hair and scalp needs.
Speaking of keeping warm. We sometime love a hot bath or shower. You want to be careful not to cleanse your hair with hot water. Trust me, I love a good steaming shower around this time, however, showering you body and hair with hot water will definitely lead to dry skin and scalp. You want to cleanse yourself and hair with lukewarm/tepid water.
