What can cause hair to become greasy?

Underactive sebaceous glands
Lack of proper cleansing
Low humidity levels
Use of lightweight products

The correct answer is: Lack of proper cleansing

Hair can become greasy primarily due to a lack of proper cleansing. When hair is not cleansed regularly, excess oil and sebum produced by the sebaceous glands can build up on the scalp and hair strands. This accumulation gives hair a greasy appearance and can lead to issues such as scalp irritation or dandruff. Regular cleansing helps to remove this buildup, maintain scalp health, and keep the hair looking fresh and voluminous. Underactive sebaceous glands, while they can affect hair texture and oiliness, typically lead to dry hair rather than greasy hair. Low humidity levels primarily influence the moisture in the environment and do not directly cause excess oiliness in hair. Similarly, the use of lightweight products generally does not lead to greasiness; instead, it usually helps in avoiding the heavy buildup that can contribute to a greasy look.
