I am a 38 year old female and also started experiencing a heavy oily area around the crown of my head about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I asked my Dr. and he acted as if I was crazy. He suggested I use Neutrogena shampoo once a week, which I started yesterday. To add to the other comments....I am extremely stressed (thought that was it). I am going through peri-menopause. I have not changed shampoos in 15 years (I alternate head and shoulders and Pantene). I have never had any problems with oily skin or oily hair ever. I wash my hair daily and condition. I have not changed my daily regimen in 2 years
One thing I have tried was applied Shower to Shower powder to my hair before going to bed and washed out in the morning (not the sexiest looking thing at night but it helps). It drastically reduced the oil, but came back 2 days later. The only thing I worry about is clogging the glands that are producing the oil, so I don't do it daily...maybe once a week. I will try the Irish Spring soap, that will not clog the glands...just dry out the hair. Another suggestion I haven't tried was go to a good hair dresser who has shampoos that change the PH balance of your hair (If this goes on another month I will try this. It's kinda drastic.)
