Doesn't work for everyone.

Let's just say that in my childhood and early teens, I wasn't taught much about personal hygiene. My scalp and hair never stopped being caked with oil.

Another thing, though, is diet. Whatever fat I eat - particularly saturated fats and homemade trans fats (fry oil) - comes straight out the pores on my face and scalp. It's gross, really, I can wipe my face with a tissue and it comes away looking like I've dipped it in olive oil. Definitely an incentive to limit my saturated fat intake!
