Hair's too oily/flat - suggest me a shampoo

post #1 of 8

Thread Starter 
To start, I have semi-long hair, just about down to my chin. I wash it every day with just shampoo and condition 1-2 times a week. I currently rotate my shampoos between Baxters, Anthony Logistics and Paul Mitchell Volumizing.

Despite all this washing though, my still is very oily and flat by the end of the day, or after just a few hours. It looks best 2 hours after I wash it, but I can't seem to get it that way. Can someone suggest me a new shampoo or something to get rid of all this excess grease and make my hair look normal and volumous? I don't care what it costs, I'm just tired of it looking like crap by the end of the day even if I haven't done a lot of walking or sweating.

Maybe you don't need to condition, at all. Sometimes conditioner can flatten hair. Your hair seems to have plenty of 'condition,' to begin with. Lately I've been using Ojon hydrating thickening shampoo. I like it, but my all time favorite was jean-marc maniatis SHINE bioacide de fruits. Unfortunately, I can't get this product any longer, in the United States. If you can get a hold of it somehow, I'd go for it. Great, clarifying, volumizing shampoo. Smells like a fresh peeled grapefruit, with mint.

you likely need a shampoo specifically for oily hair

korres makes a "sage and nettle shampoo for oily hair" that works well

the label states that it contains nettle extract in combination with a licorice-derived sebostatic agent that balances scalp sebum levels - the sage along with birch and burdock extracts act as an antiseptic and antioxidant

in any event, i use it in the summer when my hair is oilier and it works well for me

www.korres.com
some sephora stores carry korres products as well

Graham Webb Thick Infusion, also get a boar's-hair hairbrush and use it during the day when it starts to look oily (it brings the oil from the root to the ends).

Try Kiehl's tea tree shampoo or herbal shampoo for oily hair.

Again, Lavender and Tea Tree Oil May Effect Hormones.

It would be nice if, each time "tea tree" is mentioned, a warning automatically is made.

To mention a shampoo touched on in another thread here...

Nizoral worked well for me in this regard. Something about what it does to your scalp actually kept my hair from getting that oily feeling - and my hair was quite long at the time. It would tend to dry my hair out, so I cut back on using it. You might find it works better for you in the long run.
