Suggest Treatment For Extremely Greasy Hair
Question: greasy, greasy hair that I HAVE to wash at least every other day, and every day would be even better, but I've been told that's not good for your hair. Although it is ever so greasy that it breaks out my skin on my face and back neck, it is also very dry and brittle.
I know that sounds unusual, but what leads to the extreme greasiness is the heat and humidity of the climate of Oklahoma! I take the dog out for walks several times a day down and up 20 stair steps, up & down.
I weigh 240, have 203 chol, HepC, and COPD.
Can you recommend anything for my hair that wont strip the natural oils, but won't leave me with a head full of oil? Thank you in advance (I was considering a dandruff shampoo maybe)

Brief Answer:
Please consider these guidelines
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I appreciate your concern
Some times your sebaceous glands secrets too much sebum or oil which is secreted in response to heat, local allergy or inflammation of the hair follicles
In my opinion you should use antifungal shampoo like ketoconazole and trim your hairs for some time
As such you are taking all the food supplements and antioxidants so you need not to worry
Please write back to me with following details, so that I will be able to tell you more accurately
Since how long you have this problem
what kind of shampoo you are using ?
Waiting for your reply
Best wishes
