In 24 ours when i go thru my hair with my hand, the hand is shining with oil.

what is your typical diet?


There is also a connection between male pattern baldness and oil though, so it could just be that ._.

Mine was like that when it was longer... Nothing you can do, you're still producing the same amount of oil most likely, just thinner hair..

Where'd you get that idea?

My diet is not very healty. And yes i have MBP.

Erm, try cutting dairy especially if you have oily skin. And don't overdo meat (this is the kind of advice you might get regarding acne, but it should work for oil as well).

I believe that male pattern baldness can result in increased scalp sebum, dandruff, things like that (I certainly had the latter and other people have noticed the oiliness as well). Reducing androgens and calming down androgen receptors (whether with a drug like finasteride, a topical like Eucapil, or any other successful regimen) should kill the oiliness as well. I take it you've only had it while you've had male pattern baldness?

Finsateride has been specifically tested in that regard, and found not to have any effect on sebum production.

Panathoic acid / vitamin b5, around 5 grams daily to see a good improvment. Quite expensive and if over-used hairloss can be a side effect.
