TLDR Different antidandruff shampoos can change how much oil your scalp produces.
This study, conducted on 120 men, examined the effects of eight proprietary antidandruff shampoos on sebum flow dynamics using the Lipometer®. Two shampoos significantly increased the sebum excretion rate over time, while one shampoo significantly decreased sebum output. These findings provided insights into how different shampoos affect the follicular reservoir function in androgenic alopecia, showing that sebum flow dynamics can be notably altered by specific products.
