What's a good shampoo/conditioner for long hair a little oily at the top and rather dry at the ends?

Question

I am looking for an affordable, cruelty-free shampoo and conditioner that will take care of the dry ends and the oily roots of my hair. Any advice?

Answer 1

When you wash you hair concentrate shampoo at the roots the rest of you hair will be cleaned as you rinse the shampoo off.
Then when you apply conditioner don't apply it at the roots but just on the dry areas.

Answer 2

Use any shampoo and conditioner that you can afford. Just use a clarifying shampoo every week and for normal hair every day. First, apply conditioner starting from the tip and lesser as you go upwards to the roots of your hair. Regularly brush your hair to properly distribute natural oil all over your hair.
Usually your situation happens to me, so always have keep a leave on conditioner (Pantene smells great!) or a polish serum from Citre Shine to remove fly aways. Or if you can't find any of these around your regular lotion can help too. Apply it like a regular leave-on conditioner.

bed head by tigi to a large range of sham;poos and conditioners, they are quite expensive but are very good! they can only be brought in salons and a hair stylist can advise you on the best one! the one from that range i advise is one called self absorbed the shampoo is light and will not dry out your ends,its not at all greasy so it will help improve your oily roots! and make sure you just apply the conditioner to the ends none on the roots!

Lemon/citrus is good for oily hair.
Try washing your hair in a lemon shampoo and finishing off with conditioner (coconut/almond or anything nutty) applied to the ends only.

Answer 5

Paul Mitchell One shampoo and Paul Mitchell One leave in conditioner. They are gentle enough to use every day, the conditioner is light and non-greasy on hair and they are not tested on animals.

Answer 6

Try MOP products, they are sold on the QVC website. They are top quality and last for ages. I would never use the high street brands as full of chemicals. MOP is also an organic range.

Also Aveda is another range, bit pricey but hair is your crowning glory after all so worth every penny in my book.
