What's the matter with hair getting oily the more you wash it? Is it better to wash your hair in the morning or at night? Don't get confused after reading it
A 31-year-old woman from Hebei Province hurriedly went to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment because her mouth was suddenly slanted and her right eye could not be closed. The doctor told her that she had idiopathic facial paralysis.
After understanding, the doctor found that the reason for the woman's facial paralysis was that she did not dry her hair in time after washing her hair the night before, and then hurried to ride to work. Facial paralysis caused by hot and cold stimulation.
I didn't expect that a daily shampoo could cause such serious consequences. Although shampooing looks simple, it is also very important.
1. What's the matter with the hair feeling that the more you wash it, the more oily it is?
Some friends may have this feeling, why is their scalp more and more oily, and the more I wash it, the more oily it becomes. In fact, the hair is not oily, but the scalp is oily. The oily hair is mostly due to the strong secretion of the sebaceous glands in the scalp hair follicles, and there are many reasons for the disorder of the sebaceous glands .
For example, genetic factors, liking to eat spicy and high-fat foods, and high levels of male hormones in the body. Some people are born with higher oil gland activity and density, so they secrete more oil. Spicy high-fat foods and high androgen levels in the body will stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil.
So do you want to wash your hair? Hair must be washed, because greasy and unclean hair can easily accumulate sebum and keratin, cause pore blockage, affect the health of hair follicles, and even lead to hair loss.
When is the best time to wash? According to the greasy level of your scalp, wash your hair when it is oily, and don't wash it if it is not oily. As long as the hair is not greasy and dry, it is generally recommended to shampoo at least 1 to 2 times a week for about 5 to 7 minutes each time. The water temperature of the shampoo can be slightly higher than the body temperature, but not more than 40℃, usually 35℃~38℃ is the best.
People with oily hair should wash their hair more often, but avoid over-cleaning . Excessive cleaning will result in too little oil on the scalp, causing dryness and scaling of the scalp, and it may also become more oily with more washing.
2. Should you choose whiteheads or nights for shampooing?
Many people will struggle with the morning and evening time to wash their hair, and there are many opinions on this.
Generally speaking, for people who need to go out to get their hair done after washing their hair, from an aesthetic point of view, such people are more suitable for washing their hair in the morning. In addition, people with long hair and not easy to dry, such people can avoid sleeping with wet hair after washing their hair in the morning. However , people with basic diseases such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease should not wash their hair in the morning , because the blood pressure fluctuates greatly in the morning to avoid accidents.
The advantage of washing your hair at night is that it makes our sleeping environment cleaner and more healthy. Running around all day during the day, the hair is easy to absorb all kinds of dust and bacteria, so it can be cleaned in time when shampooing at night. In fact, for healthy people, you can wash your hair in the morning and at night , according to your physical comfort and your own fixed shampoo time.
In addition, many people are worried that they will lose their hair when they wash their hair often? In fact, shampooing is not the cause of hair loss. There are two types of hair loss: physiological and pathological. Pathological alopecia refers to abnormal hair loss such as alopecia areata and seborrheic. Even if you don't wash your hair, it will fall off.
3. Regarding "shampooing", can't you wash your hair at these two time points?
There are rumors that women cannot wash their hair during menstruation and confinement periods, but there is no scientific basis for these claims.

Women can wash their hair during menstruation. Although some women’s resistance will decrease during menstruation, if they don’t dry their hair in time, they may catch a cold, but as long as they wash their hair with warm water, dry them in time after washing and keep warm.

The most important thing for women to pay attention to during menstruation is to pay attention to two contraindications, one is to avoid the use of blood-activating drugs, and the other is to pay attention to genital hygiene.
2. Can't wash hair during confinement period?
Many people believe that women who wash their hair during menstruation will weaken their bodies and cause sweating. In fact, postpartum women sweat more because the water stored in the body during pregnancy loses its function after childbirth and needs to be excreted through the kidneys and sweat glands, so women sweating is not caused by shampooing. On the contrary, women need to pay more attention to personal hygiene during the confinement period, and not washing their hair easily increases the risk of wound infection.
4. Do you wash your hair?
Many netizens have had a motivating discussion on the ingredients of shampoo. Some people said that after one month of not using shampoo, their hair stopped falling out, and some said that they grew new hair after not using shampoo.
Although shampoo is not as magical as netizens boast, it does have a certain relationship with our hair. First of all, dry hair should choose a weakly acidic shampoo with nourishing ingredients; oily hair is recommended to choose a shampoo with obvious oil-removing ingredients such as mint and salicylic acid, but at the same time pay attention to hydration; it is best to use hydrating and nourishing type for itchy scalp Shampoo; people with more dandruff go to the hospital for a fungal check, and then use an antifungal shampoo according to the doctor's instructions.
Secondly, it is not recommended to use one type of shampoo for a long time . At least 2-3 types of shampoos should be selected, among which nourishing shampoo is a must. People with severe hair loss are better off taking medication as recommended by their doctor, as anti-hair loss shampoos have little effect . When washing, rub the shampoo out of the foam before applying it on the head . Use the conditioner on the ends of the hair, or buy a conditioner that can be used on the scalp. After washing the hair, dry it with a hair dryer in time , or dry Press the towel to absorb water.
Although there are a lot of particulars about washing your hair, you can choose the right time and shampoo according to your personal situation. There is no problem with drying it in time after washing. You don’t have to worry too much about whether to wash it in the morning or at night.
