A member asked:
Have had very oily hair for 3 mos after going off bcp. will this be like this for the rest of my life? what can i do?

Thought: If you look at women who are pregnant and deliver it can take up to six months to get back to normal. Going off the BCP is a similar hormonal change. I would think that this would not be permanent. However, it may be worth talking to your gyn about the problem.
