“Flakiness can result from either excessive natural sebum production and/or the application of additional oils to the scalp. Coupled with the build-up that occurs as a result of infrequent shampooing, the practice of ‘greasing’ the scalp is doubly problematic. At best, it’s an uncomfortable condition to experience, at worst it can obstruct follicles and also cause hair loss.”
Afope suggests that if you’re concerned about your scalp being ‘dry’, simply take a clean finger and press it into your un-oiled scalp for about 5-7 seconds. The oily sheen you’ll see is proof that your scalp is doing a good job moisturising and lubricating itself.
