Causes of oily hair

1. In order to know how to solve your problem you should know a thing or two about your problem. It’s a common myth that people who eat oily food have more oily hair than others. Let me just say you oily hair doesn’t have any connection with what you eat unless you put your hands in your hair while eating oily food which I am pretty sure you don’t do. Oily hair is caused because our skin tissue contains sebaceous glands which produce sebum. Sebum keeps moisture from escaping from our body, but when too much of it is produced than it results in oily or you can say greasy hair. It can also be caused due to heredity i.e. from parent to child.
