solutions for oily hair

I'd like to know the same  my hair is horrible. It gets oily so quick. The only shampoo that somewhat helped from the ones I used made specially for oily hair(Redken-horrible, Body Shop, Lush etc) was L'oreal kerastese. 

This will sound counterintuitive, but washing less can help reduce the amount of oil your scalp produces, thus producing less oily hair. The transition sucks, but I've noticed a change since I started washing every other day.

That being said, I've had luck with the Body Shop's Rainforest Balance Shampoo and Conditioner, as well as Lush's Squeaky Green shampoo bar and Jungle conditioner. I've also noticed a difference when I let my hair air dry down as opposed to up in a messy bun or ponytail. I get more out of my wash if I let it dry completely before pulling it up. 

^ like the above post said, washing your hair less will hhelp to reduce oil. when you wash your hair too frequently, the shampoo starts to dry out your scalp. Then, your scalp, lacking moisture, does the only thing is can do. It makes oil. 

A fantastic product for an oil scalp is Rene Furterer Complexe 5. It is a scalp treatment to be used once or twice a week. It is an oil, and it smells awful. I knwo i know, your thinking i need less oil. But this baby works. It works by applying 35 drops on the head, section the hair off into five and do five drops on each section. Massage the scalp. You will start to feel your scalp heat up a bit. This is because all the blood vessels are opening, and nourishing your scalp, and the root of your hair properly. It encourages them to be in optimal health. This product can help with things like; too much oil, not enough oil, hair loss, hair growing in limp, hair growing very slowly, dandruff. The idea is, if your in optimal health, these problems shoudl not exsist, or decrease dramatically. 

Complexe 5 shoudl be used 10 minutes before you jump in the shower. Use a treatment based shampoo on top, like the Rene furterer Cubrabicia (i think?) line for oily scalps. When you use the complexe 5, for about 10 minutes, your scalp is open to recieve treatment products much better, so they work more effectivly. The complexe lasts a good 6 months. It smells awful, but gets washed away within 10 minutes, so who cares.

For myself the complexe made my hair grow quicker, and i noticed a lot less hair loss. I was loosing a normal amount of hair, but when i used it consistently, i would loose about 1/4 of what i used to loose. Our hair's life span is about 7 years or so. With complexe 5, your single hair's lifespan can increase by a year or two. so for girls with fine hair lacking volume, this will help. 

My BF was dandruff prone, and that product cured him of it completely!

give it a try, im sure it will help you. 

I have oily hair too... head and shoulders shampoo works best for me. For a quick fix, I apply powder on my hair to absorb the oil. :))

Hi,

The only thing that has ever worked for me is to wash my hair a lot less. I went from every day to once a week. You can try to use a shampoo withouth silicones in it, or try a deep cleansing shampoo to remove any residue on your scalp, which could make it oily and weird if over washing isn't your problem. If you have fine hair, avoid washing with conditioner only. It makes hair very soft and smooth, but it also weighs it down a bit.

Do you wear your hair up? If not, you could try it. My bangs gets greasy a lot faster than the rest of my hair, because it's constantly in contact with my skin.

Finally, there's the possibility that it's simply your hormones making your skin produce more oil than other people. In that cause, there's not much you can do, unless you're willing to alter your body chemistry.

I suggest that washing hair every other day or even less is probably best option and if you really can't go that long without doing anything use dry shampoo between the washes. :)
