The time of day one shampoos and recurrent fatigue were found to have a statistically significant impact on symptoms contributing to the main causes of seborrhea, including itchiness, excessive oil, acne, and redness on the scalp (p<0.01). Study results confirm lifestyle and shampoo habits, such as the frequent sense of fatigue, a routine work schedule, susceptibility to stress, the time of day one uses shampoo, and whether hair styling products are used, affects seborrheic scalp disease.
