Hair Care for Oily & Greasy Hair

Oily or greasy hair occurs when oil produced by the scalp builds up around the roots and hair. How quickly your hair becomes oily varies from person to person and can be influenced by your hair type, lifestyle, styling products and washing routine.

The right hair care routine can help remove excess oil and product build-up while still caring for the lengths and ends of your hair.

What Is the Best Hair Care Routine for Oily Hair?

A simple routine for oily hair starts with a shampoo that effectively cleanses the scalp and roots, followed by conditioner where your hair needs it.

If your roots become greasy quickly, concentrate shampoo around the scalp rather than the lengths. Apply conditioner mainly to the mid-lengths and ends, particularly if your roots are oily but your ends feel dry.

What Shampoo Is Best for Oily Hair?

Look for a shampoo that cleanses excess oil and build-up without leaving your hair feeling unnecessarily dry.

Our Shampoo for Oily & Greasy Hair collection includes natural, clarifying and everyday shampoos from trusted hair care brands, making it easier to find a formula suited to your hair and scalp.

Should You Use Conditioner on Oily Hair?

Yes. Oily roots don't necessarily mean you need to avoid conditioner. Choose your conditioner according to the needs of your lengths and ends and avoid applying more product than you need around the roots. Fine hair or hair that's easily weighed down may suit a lighter formula.

Explore our Conditioner for Oily & Greasy Hair range for suitable options.

Can You Have Oily Roots and Dry Ends?

Yes. Your scalp and the lengths of your hair can have different needs, so it's possible for your roots to become oily quickly while your ends feel dry.

Focus shampoo around the scalp and roots where cleansing is needed most, then concentrate conditioner or other nourishing products on the drier lengths and ends.

How Often Should You Wash Oily Hair?

There's no single washing schedule that's right for everyone. How often you wash your hair will depend on your scalp, hair type, lifestyle and the products you use.

If your hair becomes greasy quickly, choose a shampoo suitable for regular cleansing. A clarifying shampoo can also be useful occasionally if you experience a build-up of oil or styling products, depending on the individual formula.

Is Oily Hair the Same as Dandruff?

No. Oily hair and dandruff aren't the same thing, although an oily scalp, flakes and itching can sometimes occur together.

If dandruff or an itchy scalp is your main concern, explore our Dandruff & Itchy Scalp Shampoos for products better suited to those needs.
