Controlling oil Without Over-drying

Why Your Hair Needs a Lightweight, Oil-Controlling Shampoo

If your hair gets greasy quickly, your scalp may be overproducing oil due to frequent washing or product buildup. The key to balancing oil production is using a clarifying or lightweight shampoo that removes excess oil without stripping your scalp dry (which only makes it produce more oil).

Best Practices for Oily Hair

  • Double cleanse: The first wash removes oil, the second properly cleanses.

  • Use lukewarm or cool water to avoid overstimulating oil glands.

  • Limit heavy conditioners on your scalp—focus on mid-lengths to ends.
