Understanding Oily Scalp and Hair Thinning

An oily scalp is typically the result of overactive sebaceous glands, which produce too much sebum (oil). If not managed with the right daily hair care routine, this excess oil can build up on the scalp, eventually hardening and clogging hair follicles.

Over time, this blockage disrupts healthy hair growth. With each new hair cycle, hair strands become thinner, and the overall hair density decreases because there’s not enough room for new hair to grow properly.

To prevent this, it’s important to use specialized products that:

  • Gently cleanse excess sebum from the scalp

  • Soothe and regulate the activity of sebaceous glands

  • Maintain a healthy scalp environment to support stronger hair growth

For best results, consult with a Capilia trichology expert. They can create a personalized in-salon treatment plan along with a custom home care routine to help control oil production, protect your scalp, and preserve your hair’s density.

What Causes an Oily Scalp?

An oily scalp is often the result of overactive sebaceous glands—the glands that produce sebum, a natural oil that protects and moisturizes your hair and scalp. In some individuals, excess sebum production is hereditary, but it can also be triggered or worsened by a variety of factors, including:

  • Hormonal fluctuations

  • Diets high in fats or lacking essential vitamins

  • Toxin buildup in the body

  • Chronic stress

  • Natural aging processes

Over time, this buildup of oil on the scalp can clog hair follicles, disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, and lead to progressive hair thinning. In more severe cases, it may be linked to hair loss or scalp inflammation if left untreated.
