Greasy Hair and Shiny Nose: Causes and Management

Excess sebum from sebaceous glands causes greasy hair and a shiny nose. Contributing factors:

  • Genetics
  • Androgens (higher in men, puberty)
  • High saturated fat/processed food diet
  • Stress (cortisol → sebum)
  • Medications (birth control, antidepressants)
  • Medical conditions (PCOS, Cushing's)

Management: Gentle cleansing, lightweight moisturizer, avoid touching face/hair, balanced diet, stress reduction, consult a doctor if persistent.
