The sebum secretion is decreased in human scalp after using heat-killed probiotics GMNL-653-containing shampoo. Oil counts were collected from all participants scalp at the beginning (0 M), after using control shampoo (Ctrl) for 1 month (1 M), and followed using GMNL-653 containing shampoo (GMNL-653) for 1, 2, and 4 months (2 M, 3 M, and 5 M). Oil counts of the front, middle, and back regions of scalp were detected from each participant and calculated the sum values. A Oil counts of all participants (n = 20) were shown. B Oil counts of 7 participants scalp with high oil condition (> 400 µg/cm2) in the beginning were shown. C Oil counts from 13 participants with normal oil condition in the beginning were shown.* p < 0.05 compared with 0 M group. # p < 0.05 compared with the Ctrl group
