Oily and greasy scalp
I've developed a sudden problem of extremely oily and greasy scalp and hair, even right out of the shower.
It appeared on its own due to no particular reason. Unable to wash it with shampoo even. No matter how many times I wash my hair it just stays the same. There is slightly a bit of dandruff as well.
Never faced this issue before. The sticky and greasy build up is very different from normal oily hair.
