Oil Slick in Your Hair?

Why it occurs?

Since hair grows from a skin follicle, it’s inevitable that oil is produced.  But how much sebum ends up on your scalp, and trickles down the strand is due to genetics, the condition of your scalp and your intake of certain foods.  While hormones play a part, hot and spicy foods can cause your body temperate to rise internally, which gets release through the pores in the scalp.  Another cause for oily hair is overconsumption of sugar and fat.  When you eat too many saturated fats, your body will purge itself of the extra oils, which can show up in your scalp.

How to correct it?

Since oily hair is directly related to an oily scalp cut out any foods that encourage the overproduction of oil.  You may want to try to add more raw foods and healthy foods into your diet to counteract the effects of saturated oils.

What foods should I include?

Include complex carbohydrates, olive oil, sushi,fresh fruits and vegetables.

What foods to avoid?

Avoid fried foods, preservatives and sugar-heavy meals
