Best shampoo for greasy hair?

julietiff

Daughters hair wasn't greasy until just recently, now even
the day after washing it looks oily, any advice on best shampoo?
she doesn't use any styling products and just ties it up for school, she is 14- only shampoo i can find in shops is around
£7! bit too expensive.

A bit of vinegar in normal shampoo will help.

j.e.j.

If it's just teenage hair/skin she might find that she needs to wash it every day at the moment, in which case just a mild shampoo, perhaps?

I do find that nowadays a lot of the shampoos leave your hair looking greasy. Pantene clarifying shampoo is good and leaves your hair really 'squeaky' clean but it might be a bit harsh for everyday use.

My DS of a similar age has this problem as do i - best shampoo we have found is the Dove - everyday one (has a blue label) and no conditioner. After years of washing my hair everyday i can now get up to 3 days with this one.. and usually on offer at one of the big 5, wilkos or superdrug.

I'm not sure if it would help teenage-hormone greasy hair, but some adults with greasy hair have found that the conditioner-only method helps, as it stops the vicious circle of stripping hair/excess sebum production.

The great thing about this is you don't need to give it 2 weeks to see if it works - you'll know on the first day, as soon as the hair is dry.

Hope this helps.

I'm in my late 40s and still have to wash my hair everyday. I'd say try conditioner only (I couldn't get used to it) or a dry shampoo in between washes.

Tresemme is less than half price in Tesco at the moment. About £2 for 900ml.

There is a Deep Clean one that works for me!

Conditioner-only or Wash & Go type 2in1 stuff makes it greasy again before the end of the day.
