Oily hair: If you do not wash your hair the natural oils of the scalp will cause you to look oily and greasy this has nothing to do with your hair loss for this you may need physical exam and lab work. If this is all normal than need to look at anxiety stress to see if this is the cause of the hair loss. In the end it may all be genetic and then there is nothing you can do to help
