Advice for Oily Scalp Shampoo
If your scalp tends to be oily or greasy you've likely been through dozens of shampoos with little luck. You've tried everything from washing daily (sometimes twice daily) to putting days between shampoos in an effort to control oil and sebum production.
It can feel embarrassing when your scalp feels oily. Here's what to look for and what to avoid when choosing a shampoo for an oily scalp:
*Avoid shampoos that are hydrating,
moisturizing, smoothing, or good for curly hair. These shampoos tend to add too much moisture to your already oily scalp.
*Look for labels that read volumizing, strengthening, or balancing. These products are less moisturizing and more effective at removing excess oil.
*A daily clarifying shampoo can be a big help super oily scalp conditions, but be careful you're not over drying your scalp when choosing to use a clarifying shampoo . Over drying can actually stimulate more oil and sebum production.
*Try a super clarifying treatment when your scalp is really out of control.
*Be sure the shampoo you choose for your oil scalp is color safe.
*Spend extra time working the shampoo into your scalp to break up oil. Rinse very well.
*After shampooing, avoid working your conditioner into your scalp.

embarrassing conditions that can occur. It's important to choose a shampoo that doesn't add to the issue when you have a dry scalp.
These tips can help you choose a shampoo for your dry scalp:
*Avoid strengthening, fortifying, and volumizing shampoos. These products can strip your scalp
