Curly hair has a personality of its own. One day it’s bouncy and shiny, and the next it feels like a mix of desert-dry ends and greasy roots. Sounds familiar? You’re not alone! Many curlies & wavies struggle with hair that looks oily but still feels rough and thirsty.
But don’t worry, there’s a scientific reason behind it (and yes, solutions too!). ✨
The Science Behind Greasy, Dry Curls 🧪
1. The Oil Distribution Dilemma
Your scalp naturally produces sebum, an oil that protects and moisturizes hair.
- On straight hair: Sebum travels easily from root to tip.
- On curly hair: Spirals make it hard for oils to move down the strand.
👉 The result? Greasy scalp, dry ends.
2. Product Buildup
Using heavy or silicone-filled products can coat curls, trapping dirt and sweat. This leaves your scalp looking greasy while your ends stay dehydrated.
3. Over-Washing or Under-Washing
- Too much shampooing = scalp overproduces oil.
-
Too little shampooing = buildup makes curls limp and oily.
It’s about balance, not extremes.
4. Climate & Lifestyle Factors
Humidity, sweat and even air pollution can cause scalp greasiness while still stripping moisture from your curls.
