Why Your Scalp Is Always Oily Sticky And What To Do About It

Why does your scalp feel greasy and itchy literally hours after you’ve washed it? And the dandruff you experience, it’s not even the flaky kind, it actually clumps.

Most of us grew up thinking dandruff was just about white flakes on your shirt collar and dry scalp in winter. But the truth? A huge number of Indian men also suffer from this type of dandruff which shows up in a different and way more Persistent form: oily sticky dandruff.

If your scalp feels greasy despite regular washing, you might not be doing anything wrong. You might just be dealing with a dandruff type no one talks about enough.

What is oily sticky dandruff and why is it so persistent?

Oily sticky dandruff is nothing like dry dandruff that flakes off and makes a mess on your shirt. Instead, it clumps stubbornly on your scalp and creates a greasy buildup. You might even notice it sticks under your nails when you scratch your head, and that’s enough to kick in the paranoia. But unlike dry dandruff which can often be managed with any simple shampoo, oily sticky dandruff tends to come back, because the issue starts deep in your scalp, not just on the surface.

Are you wondering why does oily sticky dandruff happen in the first place?

Here’s a little science lesson for you: This condition develops when an oily scalp combines with dandruff triggered by dry dandruff-causing germs called Malassezia Globosa. An oily scalp itself can also signal oily sticky dandruff, which you can recognise when flakes clump onto the scalp or stick to your nails after scratching.

Okay, so What’s The Fix?

If you're googling how to get rid of dandruff or a shampoo for an oily scalp, you’ve probably tried everything. But here’s the truth: most anti dandruff shampoos are made for dry, flaky dandruff. You need something that is specifically customised to target Oily Sticky dandruff like the Head & Shoulders Deep Cleanse Anti-Dandruff Shampoo with Oxygenated Charcoal.

Formulated with Oxygenated Charcoal and the anti-dandruff active Piroctone Olamine, it goes 5 layers deep to fight dandruff-causing germs at the source.
