Expert Tip
Over-washing can actually increase oil production. If your scalp feels greasy quickly, switch to a gentle balancing shampoo rather than a harsh formula, and avoid scrubbing aggressively as this can stimulate more oil production.

Your Guide to Oily Hair
Why Hair Becomes Oily
Oily hair is often caused by excess sebum produced by the scalp, which can travel down the hair and leave roots looking greasy or flat. Hair type, hormones, frequent touching, product build-up and your cleansing routine can all influence how quickly oil becomes noticeable. Fine or straight hair may appear oily sooner because natural oils can move more easily along the strands, while hot and humid conditions can leave hair feeling less fresh between washes.
Best Products for Oily Hair
Look for lightweight shampoos that effectively cleanse excess oil and product build-up without leaving hair feeling overly stripped. Clarifying or deep-cleansing shampoos can be useful occasionally, while lightweight conditioners are best applied mainly through the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid overloading the roots with rich masks, heavy oils or styling products, and choose lightweight volumising or texturising formulas when you want to refresh body and movement.
