Oily Haircare

Shop Hair Care for Oily Hair

Oily hair is the kind that looks fine in the morning and flat and greasy by the afternoon. Your scalp makes its own oil, which hair needs, but build-up, how often you wash and the products you use can all push it too far. The right shampoo and conditioner for oily hair can help. This page brings together shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo and scalp care for oily hair, with formulas that cleanse without leaving hair stripped or squeaky. Adore Beauty is an official stockist of every brand we sell.

Shampoo and Conditioner for Oily Hair

Start with the wash. A balancing or clarifying shampoo for oily hair cleanses the scalp and lifts product build-up, and the gentler options do it without drying out your lengths. Kérastase Specifique Bain Divalent Balancing Shampoo is a balancing shampoo that skips the harsher agents found in many clarifying formulas. MOROCCANOIL Scalp Balancing Shampoo and AVEDA Scalp Solutions Balancing Shampoo are two more to compare, and the Mr. Smith Balancing Shampoo is another balancing option. Want to see everything?

Conditioner still matters when your hair is oily, especially if your ends are dry. Choose a lightweight formula, and keep it to the mid-lengths and ends so it does not sit on your roots. Heavy, rich conditioners tend to weigh fine, oily hair down, so save those for the days your ends need a treat. If you use a leave-in or styling product, go light there too, and keep it away from the scalp.

Dry Shampoo, Scalp Treatments and Washing Tips

Between washes, a dry shampoo soaks up oil at the roots and buys you another day. For a targeted step, the MOROCCANOIL Oily Scalp Treatment is made for oily scalps. If you also deal with flakes or itch, see our hair concern range for other options.

A few habits help too. Massage shampoo into the scalp and rinse well, because leftover product adds to the greasy look. Avoid heavy styling products at the roots. If you wash every day, try stretching the time between washes gradually, rather than all at once, and see how your scalp responds. If your scalp is very oily, itchy or irritated and nothing helps, speak to a doctor or pharmacist.
