Sebum, not oil, is the substance that coats your scalp.
The excessive production of sebum may result in bacterial infection, which can lead to dandruff as well as other scalp issues.

😃
if you have a healthy production of sebum in your scalp, not applying oil won’t have any adverse effects.
Hair has a naturally occurring pH level that is controlled by the scalp’s natural production of oil on its surface.
Oiling is not necessary unless your scalp’s sebum (natural oil) production is less than required.
Putting oil on the scalp may clog the follicles and lower the pH level, which is bad for hair growth.
However, if your scalp and hair are dry, then not applying oil for longer time may make it more dry and brittle.
Oiling your scalp is an excellent method to provide your hair with beneficial vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.
