Question

Does anyone know of a shampoo that works good with very oily hair? I have tried several brands and still the same.I can shower that night and by the next day my hair is oily again and looks dirty when its clean.Other the washing it every night is anyone have any suggestions that might help.Serious answers please

Answer 1

Any shampoo that contains citrus ingredients would be ideal - lemon for instance, as the citrus cuts through the grease.

Fine hair is prone to being greasy as it is very easy to overload the hair with heavy products and conditioners.

Another tip is not to overwash you hair, you are more likely to pump out more oil to compensate for what you have lost. In between washes you can use talc, just apply to dry hair, it will soak up the oil and then brush out.

If your hair is very greasy when you come to wash it, don't wet it first (oil and water doesn't mix remember!) Put your shampoo directly onto your dry hair and rub in - it won't lather but this is fine. Rinse and repeat to get a good, deep clean.

Also, make sure the temperature of the water you are using isn't too hot, hot water can exacerbate the over production of oils.

Greasy hair can also be a sign that there is too much fat in the diet, make sure you are eating a well balanced diet that contains plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and drink plenty of water.

Lastly, oily hair still needs conditioner - just make sure that you use one that is designed for greasy hair and only apply a liberal amount to the ends and not the scalp.

Hopefully, if you follow the above you should see an improvement very soon.

Answer 2

I have very oily hair, too. I gave up on finding a shampoo that would allow me to wash my hair at night and still look fresh for the morning. I just wash my hair in the morning now. I feel much more clean and less oily if I can wash my hair as party of my morning routine.

Answer 3

Use a clarifying/purifying shampoo or one meant for oily hair. I use Nexxus Exoil, which I bought from an Ulta salon. The green tea tree shampoo from Paul Mitchell might also work. I shower every day, but if I don't have time to wash, I'll spray a sea salt spray (KMS Beach Head) on my roots, or sprinkle some baby powder on them.

Answer 4

There is suave shampoos and conditioners out there especially for the cleansing of oily hair, they are usually clear and have water drop ont the outside, they are very cheap...so thats a plus!

Answer 5

Don't over wash your hair you scalp will retaliate by producing more oils, plus try not too condition or use soaps that have conditioners in them, if you do condition re wash after. This should help, I have not found anyone brand of shampoo that was really great.
