🧴 Oily Scalp in Men: Why It Happens and How to Fix It
Greasy by midday? Hair sticking to your forehead? Shampooing every morning but still feeling dirty by evening?
You’re not alone. Oily scalp is one of the most common issues among men in Singapore — thanks to humidity, product buildup, and poor scalp habits.
Here’s what causes it, how to manage it, and why a barbershop might be the best place to get it treated.
🌡️ Why Do Men Get Oily Scalps?
Men naturally produce more sebum (oil) on the scalp because of higher testosterone levels. Add Singapore’s heat and the wrong hair products — and you’ve got the perfect recipe for:
Greasy roots
Flat, lifeless hair
Dandruff or flakes
Breakouts near the hairline
Premature thinning
🔍 Common Causes of Oily Scalp in Men
Washing too often – Strips natural oils, causing overproduction
Using the wrong shampoo – Harsh ingredients irritate your scalp
Styling product buildup – Gels, pomades, and waxes clog pores
Humidity & sweat – Combine to create a moist, oil-prone environment
Not exfoliating the scalp – Dead skin and oil stay trapped
If any of this sounds familiar — your scalp is asking for help.
🧼 How to Fix Oily Scalp (For Real)
Here’s what works — and what we recommend at Gentleman’s Cuts:
✔️ Use a Gentle, pH-Balanced Shampoo
Avoid sulfates. Look for charcoal, tea tree, or salicylic acid ingredients.
✔️ Cut Back on Heavy Products
Switch to matte clays or hair powders that don’t clog your scalp.
✔️ Exfoliate Your Scalp Weekly
Use a scalp brush or get a professional scalp detox to clear buildup.
✔️ Don’t Skip Conditioner
Use a lightweight conditioner to rebalance moisture without greasiness.
