When there’s excess sebum on your scalp it can make its way down your hair, causing it to look greasy. Jenny Balding, stylist and co-owner Cutler Salon x Arlo SoHo, says there are a number of contributing factors to oily hair, but it can be exacerbated by not rinsing product off thoroughly in the shower and choosing styling products too heavy for your hair type. So if you’re struggling with oily hair, take a look at your shampoo. Ahead, the seven best shampoos for oily hair so you can stop the grease before it even starts.
With lactic and salicylic acid, this formula ensures you’ll get a clean scalp that will promote healthy (non-oily) hair growth. It’s also gentle enough to use on colour-treated hair.
Give your scalp some extra TLC with this exfoliating shampoo. It uses tea tree oil to reduce scalp irritation and vegetable-derived micro-exfoliators to remove dead skin and product buildup.
You can thank the mandarin orange extract and sea kelp for cleaning hard-to-remove buildup and maintaining the perfect moisture balance so that hair doesn’t look greasy.
