I have oily roots and have to wash it every day. If I don't, my hair looks gross! However, I have found using gentle shampoos helps. I try to avoid shampoos with ammonium lauryl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate. These ingredients are harsh, and can strip your all of all oils. When this happens, your scalp will produce even more oils to replace them. I use a shampoo with sodium laureth sulfate (which isn't nearly as harsh as the other two), or if I can afford it I use a natural shampoo. You can find natural shampoos in a natural/health food store or online at places like http://www.drugstore.com/. Burt's Bees Super Shiny shampoo and conditioner are both great for oily hair.
Also, avoid opaque shampoos, because they contain a lot of moisturizers that will eventually build up on your hair and make it greasy. And don't use conditioner on your scalp or roots, as this will also make your hair greasy.

Baby shanpoo! It is the highest in PH of most shampoos on the market. My hair used to be really oily to and the baby shampoo worked wonders. Use the Aussie product "Knot Forgotten" if you have hair that tangles after washing and still wet, put a SMALL amount on your hair where needed, staying away from the scalp, and it will help with the tangles and moisturize your hair shafts but not your scalp and skin. It makes your hair REALLY soft too!
Stop using the combo shampoos with conditioners products you really don't need much moisturizing, and the Aussie product will add moisture to the hair itself and not "you"! Good luck!

Wash it all the time! Use shampoos specially made for oily hair. condition but don't overcondition. Also try using an alcohol-based hair spray, it soaks up the excess oil on your scalp. Try Alberto VO5 Quick! Hold Fast-Drying Hair Spray, $3 drugstores!

Too tell you the truth I am wondering the same thing. I have to wash my hair every day or it will be so greasy that it looks gross. I have looked at shampoo's and never found any for oily hair. If and when you find out please let me know!

Use a shampoo specifically designed for oily hair.

As a teen I had REALLY oily hair. I used to rinse it in white vinegar to cut the grease! I also used Dawn dish washing liquid to wash it! That actually works really well. Also, perming helped dry it out, but you risk breakage. Color works pretty well, also. Just don't use conditioner near your scalp--only on the ends.

Use Aussie Dual Shampoo For Combination Hair, the one that makes your roots un-oily and your ends un-frizzy. my hair has not been oily since. also, after you use it, dont apply any more product to your roots after you get out of the shower.

Wash hair in tepid water temperature,oil gland are stimulated by hot water.Also professional product lines eg. Kerestese and redken will do products that will help over a period of time.be patient with professional products they wont work on the first application but with continual use they are effective.hope this is some help,if not don't hesitate in telling me. x
