Shampoo for oily hair
The greasy shine on the hair can ruin the appearance of any person. In addition, it may indicate some diseases of the scalp. Helping to get rid of it, improving the scalp, help shampoo for oily hair.
Features
30% of the population suffers from oily scalp. But not all shampoos can solve this problem. The use of an unsuitable scalp-type product can even aggravate the situation. Frequent washing of the head with low-quality products can not only wash off the protective film from the hair, which will subsequently lead to their fragility, but also create an alkaline environment on the dermis, and, as a result, dandruff and itching will occur. The use of the same means to care for the curls will significantly reduce the work of the sebaceous glands, thereby extending the aesthetic appearance of the hair.
The modern industry produces a huge range of shampoos for oily hair and curls that are prone to fat. This will help to choose a product that will be suitable for you. It will help dry the scalp.
Require special attention strands of fat at the roots and dry at the tips.
For this type of hair developed a balancing shampoo. It regulates the work of the sebaceous glands, while not overdrying the dermis, and at the same time moisturizes the hair along the entire length.
Kinds
There are many brands of shampoos for hair, and practically everybody has several lines aimed at fighting the shine at the roots. They have some division.
- Professional. Most often produced in larger packs with dispenser, although it is also found in small bottles. Designed specifically for use in beauty salons. But not rarely these shampoos are used at home. In their composition, they usually contain the active substances in increased proportions.
- Domestic. Shampoo, which is sold in regular stores. Most often, it is available in a volume of 250 ml or 450 ml. Its cost is significantly lower than the previous sample.
- Medical. It is sold in a pharmacy. It should not be used more than twice a week. It is impossible to violate the instructions, as an overdose can lead to aggravation of the problem.
In addition, this product is divided by type of hair.
- Moisturizing. In addition to the main function, it is designed to saturate the scalp with moisture, it improves blood flow, thereby rejuvenating the scalp, increasing the growth of strands.

- For dry ends (for combined hair). A balancing shampoo that nourishes the tips and dries the roots.
- For sensitive scalp. This composition has a minimum of surfactants, and extracts of natural plants. It helps relieve irritation, soothe the dermis of the head.
Also, many brands in their lines have men's shampoo for oily hair. The hair of the stronger sex, like the scalp, is different from the female. The epidermis is not only thicker, but also has a slightly different acid-base balance. And they need a separate care product, in which the above facts will be taken into account.
More shampoos are separated by their consistency. They are:
- Liquid. This type is found everywhere, and we are accustomed to seeing this care product in exactly this form.
- Dry. Made in the form of a powder resembling talc or flour. Most often used for emergency restoration of the appearance of hair, and in such conditions where the use of regular liquid shampoo is not possible.
- Solid. Their appearance resemble soap.Due to the peculiar composition they form little foam, and the additive granules help to clean the head and hair more thoroughly.
Composition
We will understand what should be included in a good shampoo for oily hair, and what should not be in it or minimized.
The composition should include all or several of the following elements.
- Extracts of natural herbs. Natural ingredients that are part of cosmetic products are always appreciated. Extracts of such herbs as chamomile, aloe, rosemary, tea and orange trees, mint, burdock decoction are well suited for oily hair.
- Fruit extracts. They perfectly regulate the sebaceous glands of the dermis. These include natural extract of lemon, orange, apple.
- Trace elements and vitamins. They provide nourishment to the scalp and hair follicles. Especially useful for greasy curls is zinc. It allows you to reduce the work of the sebaceous glands, thereby reducing the fat content of the scalp. Also not superfluous in the composition are vitamins A, E, C, various of group B, beta-carotene.
- Astringenta - These are cleansing agents that remove impurities and sebum from the pores of the skin. In addition, they tighten the pores, allowing the strands to stay clean longer.
- Oils. Strange as it may sound, they are also necessary for bold strands to reduce greasiness. But among the ingredients they should not be much, otherwise the skin will become even more fat.
Good for oily hair will be the presence among the ingredients of clay. It gently peels epithelial cells, thereby increasing the regeneration of the dermis.
A menthol medication will also benefit those locks. It will tone up the scalp, giving a tangible coolness.
Tar shampoo has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory properties, normalizes the production of fat, relieves dandruff, strengthens the hair, which also does not hurt the oily strands.
What should not be in the composition of the shampoo, and for both the fat type of curls, and others - these are different sulphates. They dry out the skin, can cause itching and other allergic reactions. Also good products do not contain parabens, dyes and fragrances are minimized.
How to choose
Choosing the right shampoo is not an easy task. Of course, the first step is to look at the composition, applying all the tips described above.
- Do not believe advertising. It does not always say the truth, it is better to read reviews about products before going to the store.
- Do not buy shampoos 2 in 1. This is often the marketers trick. It is better to buy a separate shampoo and conditioner to provide complete care for the curls.
- For the stronger sex is better to choose formulations designed specifically for men. They take into account the peculiarities of the work of their epidermis, and such a product will be more effective.
Care Tips
The use of shampoo for oily hair is no different from the use of any other.
- Well wet strands with water.
- Apply a small amount of the product to the roots of the curls, well massage the dermis of the head.
- Spread the detergent along the length of the hair from the roots to the ends.

Water during this procedure should be cold or slightly warm. Hot liquid provokes active work of the sebaceous glands, and the effect of washing the head with these means will be lost.
After applying the shampoo is recommended to use air conditioning.
Some believe that the application of this cosmetic tool will not bring any effect, in addition, will create even more shine. But it is not. Conditioners provide additional moisture to the strands, curls easier to comb, not injured. If you are afraid of oily shine, apply conditioner only on the tips of the hair. This will ensure their nutrition and, to the maximum, reduce the effect of the composition on the scalp and curl roots.
Also for the care of oily hair should use a variety of masks. Their composition should include zinc and calcium, as well as a complex of minerals and vitamins, so necessary for the scalp.
