Heredity, hormonal factors and hair texture all contribute to oily hair, according to Discovery Health. The right shampoo formula can help clean oily hair thoroughly and keep it looking healthy.
Clarifying Shampoo
Clarifying shampoos are great for use on oily hair and scalp because they remove styling product buildup, old shampoo residue and oil, which all contribute to giving the roots of hair a greasy feel and appearance. Look for formulas containing witch hazel, which has antiseptic properties.
Voumizing Shampoo
Fine hair and oily hair often go hand in hand, so a volumizing shampoo can help remove oil on the hair and scalp, while also adding body and bounce. Volumizing shampoos typically contain more cleansing agents than a shampoo for dry hair.
Dry Shampoo
A dry shampoo, which is a spray-on powder usually in an aerosol can, helps soak up excess oil on the hair and scalp at the end of the day or when there isn't time to shampoo. Dry shampoos contain ingredients like cornstarch and mineral clay to absorb oil.
