Expert Tip
If your scalp feels oily within 24 hours, resist the urge to over-scrub. Harsh cleansing can trigger even more oil production. Instead, stick to a consistent, balanced routine that regulates rather than strips.

Your Guide to Oily Scalp
Why the Scalp Can Become Oily
An oily scalp occurs when the sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, which can leave the roots feeling greasy, heavy or flat soon after washing. Genetics, hormones, product build-up, sweating and your cleansing routine can all influence oiliness, while Australia’s heat and humidity may make it feel more noticeable. An oily scalp doesn’t necessarily mean your lengths are oily too, so balancing scalp cleansing with the needs of your hair is important.
Best Products for an Oily Scalp
Look for scalp-focused shampoos that effectively remove excess oil, sweat and product build-up without leaving the scalp feeling overly stripped. Lightweight balancing shampoos are ideal for regular cleansing, while clarifying or deep-cleansing formulas can be used when build-up needs extra attention. Keep rich conditioners, masks and oils focused on the mid-lengths and ends, and choose lightweight scalp treatments that leave the roots feeling fresh and clean.
