Best shampoo for REALLY greasy hair

[BathshebaKnickerStickers]

My poor 15 year old dd has very very greasy hair.

Off out to the supermarket soon - what’s the best, readily available, shampoo that I can get her.

You need something without silicone

Ginger or Tea Tree from Body Shop. My DD loves them, smell lovely too!

Dd sometimes uses washing up liquid!

Agree with avoiding silicones - they’ll just make the problem worse. I like the tresseme cleansing shampoo. Follow up with a light silicone-free conditioner just on the ends.

Having been there, my advise is anything light. Head and shoulders works a treat for me. Or there are some brands like simple which make a really basic shampoo. Anything that doesn’t weigh down the hair - so generally volume shampoos should help. Plus I’d get her a dry shampoo to try and drag out how long she can wait before washes (it’s definitely true that the more you wash than the more you need to!!). I dry shampoo before bed (rubs in, avoids that powdery look!)

There are also things you can do outside of shampoo.... brushing regularly with a soft bristle hairbrush brings the oils down from the scalp and distributed within the hair.

And obviously make sure her pillow is washed as often as possible. I sleep with a towel a lot of the time.

ADVICE not advise sorry

I used to use herbal essences for greasy hair and it was a god send. my daughter also has greasy hair and I make sure her hair is thoroughly dried with the hair dryer as drip drying or towel drying leaves ensures her hair gets greasy quickly .

Has anybody used L'oreal Elvive Clay Oily Roots Shampoo? It says its silicone free too.

Elvive Clay is great

Try boots apple shampoo it's 75p and really good. If she can try and use a fifty pence size blob and wash it twice like this instead of using loads.

Elvive clay is the best for greasy hair, really helped mine when I was pregnant and very greasy (glowing for me, means grease apparently).

My hair dresser told me to shampoo twice then condition once.
Don't know about anyone else but this has been a game changer for me.
My hair can go another few days without being washed.

I used to get greasy roots but started using Vosene (the original one) and hair is great now and really shiny.

I would stop conditioning all together. Less is more I have found, having tried various products I now just have a small amount of whatever shampoo is in offer and that’s it.

I find Head and Shoulders quite good or the green Elvive anti-dandruff one, though it can make it too dry, weirdly. I spent about £15 on a posh Redken lemon one a while ago and it made no difference.
