This condition occurs when the sebaceous (oil) glands over-secret. This can be due to hormonal changes or other health conditions. The amount of oil in a person's hair and skin can vary, depending on:
Hormones
Time of year
Sun and wind
Temperature and humidity - Skin looks the oiliest in hot, humid weather.

Greasy hair is often accompanied by spots on the forehead and nose. When sebaceous glands are overactive hair becomes lank a day after washing. The cause, as said, is often glandular. The hair itself does not produce oil; the oil is being produced by the scalp and travels down the shaft of the hair. People with straight hair tend to have more oil in their hair than people with curly hair.

The condition is often made worse by too frequent washing as this will affect the acid/alkaline balance of the scalp and more oil can be produced. Leave at least 2 days between washes, or alternatively use fushi’s balancing herbal powder to absorb excessive grease. Wash gently, with mild foaming shampoos and the use of astringent herbs will help to tighten and tone the scalp, this approach is dealt with in our balancing herbal shampoo.

Fatty foods, spicy dishes and hot, strong tea and coffee, which are stimulants, all increase the activity of the sebaceous glands. Drink lots of water and get enough exercise to improve circulation, which in turn will improve the condition of hair.
Avoid over brushing as this can move oil along the hair.
