I Have Really Oily Hair. I Wash It Every Other Day, But It's Still Oily. I Only Use Conditioner On The Ends Of My Hair, Because It's Dyed And Gets Really Tangly. What Brand Of Shampoo Would Help My Hair Not Be So Oily. I Read The Tea Tree Oil Helps, But I Don't Know What Brand Have It.

Anyways, do you use conditioner? If you have oily/greasy hair I would recommend washing it twice && then using conditioner.

And if you're looking for brands...Herbal Escences (if I spelled that right) or TRESemme.

Treatment for Oily Hair

The key to controlling oily hair is to remove the sebum adequately from the scalp.

Many persons mistakenly think that hair shampoo is to wash the hair and not the scalp. Actually, shampoo is designed to clean the scalp and beautify the hair. Thus, the first recommendation is to shampoo the scalp. Women with long hair should apply the shampoo to the scalp without piling the hair on top, and use their fingers to vigorously massage the scalp.

Excessively oily hair may require two applications to the scalp prior to shampooing the hair. One way to tell if the oil has been removed from the scalp is to note the foam produced by the shampoo. If the shampoo is removing large amounts of sebum, it will not foam. One can discontinue shampoo applications when the shampoo freely suds on application to the scalp.


Best Shampoo for Oily Hair

Shampoo selection is another important consideration. Shampoos are designed for a variety of hair types. Use a shampoo designed for oily hair. Oily hair shampoos have stronger detergents and fewer conditioners.

Wash you hair daily for frequent sebum removal, but do not use a hair conditioner after shampooing. Sebum is a wonderful conditioner, and additional products are not needed. Any conditioner applied to the hair will only increase the speed with which the hair appears oily.

My brother had a problem with oily hair too. He switched shampoo's to Pantene Pro-V, the one designed for oily hair, and the oil is fairly at bay now. Try searching for shampoo's that were specifically designed for oily hair control (the ones that actually state it on the bottle) at your local store. =)

There's different options, the easier would be just changing your shampoo. There is a lot of brands that have shampoos for oily hair. It's best to just read the labels and try them out. Look for shampoos with panthenol and proteins in them, because they'll help build up the hair. Lightweight conditioners are the way to go.

The Brands That You Would In America.

I'm certainly not a mod, but I'm pretty sure there's rules against double-posting.

And I was being sarcastic. Typing like that is kind of annoying.

EDIT: In all honesty, just go to the store and find a brand that says it's for oily or thick hair or whatever you need. That's what I do (not that I have oily hair; I just mean I read the bottles && just try to find what I'm looking for)
