Can a hydrating gel suit an oily scalp? How to decide.

Folli-Care for oily scalps: yes or no?
Answer first

Often yes. Oily scalps can still feel tight or irritated, and Folli-Care is a light, water-based gel rather than an oil. Use a small amount on a freshly washed scalp. If oiliness comes with redness or flaking, a scalp check is a better first step.

Oil is not hydration

Oil sits on the surface; a water-based gel adds hydration without heaviness.

When to check

Persistent oily flakes and itch can be seborrhoeic dermatitis, which deserves proper advice.

Questions

Will it make my hair flat?

Use the pack amount and apply to the scalp only.

Morning or night?

Whichever suits your routine.
