The best shampoo for oily hair

It is likely that you have had to try different shampoos until you get the one that gives you the best result, you may even have not yet found one with which you are 100% satisfied. From HELLO! We have thoroughly investigated the ideal alternatives for dyed hair or curly hair. Aware of how difficult it is to find the right shampoo, I got down to work.

In my selection, I tried to include balancing ingredients and formulations of natural origin, without mineral oils or silicones, which tend to weigh down the hair. And if you also face itching, dandruff or hair loss, don’t worry, I’ve also thought of you.

I tried each of these products for at least three weeks, incorporating them into my usual hair routine but limiting their use to a maximum of three times a week. Sometimes sebum-regulating shampoo formulas are so powerful that it is counterproductive to apply them every day, so it was a matter of observing how my hair was behaving.

The main thing is that each of these products fulfills the main function of regulating sebum on the scalp to reduce the frequency of my washing. We seek to avoid the caking effect that silicones generate in the hair, as it causes the expansion of fat from the roots to the ends. A voluminous mane, with body, is less prone to suffering from excess sebum.

It was essential for me that the hair was shiny and hydrated, as this leads to less sebum production in the long term. Dryness is a trigger for the sebaceous glands, which will secrete even more oil if they perceive that the hair is dehydrated.

KERASTASE Specifique Bain Divalent

The most common is that excess oil is concentrated in the root area and scalp, and it may even be the case that the ends become dry, especially if you are using a specific cosmetic to reduce sebum production. If that is your case, then I recommend that you replace your shampoo with this one from Kérastase. Like the rest of the products in this selection, it has been specially formulated to balance oil production and cleanse the scalp, but its composition of amino acids and vitamin B6 promotes deep hydration that strengthens the roots and leaves hair shinier than normal.

Apivita Propoline Balancing Shampoo for Hair with Oily Roots

This Apivita shampoo is formulated with 83% natural ingredients and does not contain silicones, parabens or mineral oils. Basic characteristics that make it a very good option for treating greasy and matted hair. It is enriched with sebum-regulating agents responsible for eliminating excess sebum -such as honey or lime-, as well as thyme and mint essential oils that thoroughly cleanse the hair.

ISDIN Nutradeica Oily Dandruff Shampoo

If, in addition to noticing excess sebum, you feel that your hair is falling out, then you need a product that will help you tackle both problems. The Isdin Nutradeica range is specially designed to regulate oil production while strengthening the hair fiber, relieving itching and reducing seborrheic dandruff using two powerful anti-dandruff active ingredients. Its formulation is so effective that it is not necessary to apply it every time you wash your hair, since twice a week will be more than enough to see significant results.

Vichy Dercos Anti-Pelliculaire Dandruff Shampoo

If you are one of those who cannot go a day without washing your hair, the ideal is to find a shampoo that does not damage the fiber no matter how much you use it. Exactly what Vichy offers you with its Dercos Sebo Corrective Shampoo, whose paraben and silicone-free formula cleanses and purifies the scalp to regulate and delay oil production. But also, with its continued use you will notice how your hair looks much softer, thicker and more voluminous, and it is much easier to comb and untangle it.

My Rebotica Onion Shampoo

More and more women are looking for natural and environmentally friendly formulas, which has led to an increase in the supply of products that meet these characteristics. A good example is the solid shampoo from La Rebotica formulated with onion extract, which helps to strengthen hair and protects it from oxidative processes. In addition, it contains sebum-regulating active ingredients such as Salix Alba extract, rich in salicylic derivatives, or green clay. It is endowed with a sweet cherry smell.
