Oily Scalp Season? Here’s What to Do About It

How to keep your scalp fresh, clean and balanced now that Glasgow’s warmed up a bit.
We’re not used to saying it, but Glasgow’s having a wee warm spell — and while we’re all soaking up those rare sunny days, your scalp might be feeling the heat in a different way. Increased warmth can mean extra sweat, oil production and product build-up, leaving you with a greasy-feeling scalp and hair that never quite feels clean, no matter how often you wash it.
If that’s sounding familiar, don’t worry — you’re definitely not alone, and we’ve got your back (and your roots).
Why Warm Weather Can Wreak Havoc on Your Scalp
As temperatures climb, your scalp responds by producing more sebum (natural oils). Add in a bit of SPF run-off, pollution, or dry shampoo overload, and suddenly your follicles are crying out for a reset. Left unchecked, this can cause irritation, blocked pores, and even contribute to hair thinning or shedding.
Time for a Scalp Detox
At Hair in the City, we include a Keune Derma Peeling Treatment as part of our Cut and Style service — and it’s a game-changer. Think of it like a facial for your scalp. It gently exfoliates away dead skin cells, product build-up and excess oil, giving your scalp a proper clean slate so your hair can grow and breathe better. Speak to your stylist during your next appointment about this treatment for your scalp.
It’s especially great if you:
Find yourself needing to wash your hair daily
Notice flaking or itchiness
Feel like your roots get greasy within hours
