Getting oil from a massage out of my hair. Help11

i had a massage this afternoon which included a scalp massage and she used oil. I agreed to this as I've had oil in my hair previously and it's been fine. I have just been for a shower and washed my har but it is still really oily despite a very compressive scrub with shampoo. I am not going anywhere this evening so it will be fine but i need my hair to look decent tomorrow. What can i use that might get it out? I am contemplating washing up liquid. Too brutal? If not that, then what? Help me!

I would use washing up liquid.

Use shampoo on dry hair, rub it in like you were washing it. Wash hair, rinse well and shampoo as normal.

Fairy washing up liquid. Every now and then I do a fairy washing up liquid deep clean on my hair and massage into scalp and my hair is fabulous afterwards and for the next few days if I chose not to wash it.

Did you do a double shampoo or just wash it once? Shampoo rinse shampoo rinse should work. Head and shoulders is really clarifying

I just did it once. I think I will try Fairy on it.

My current shampoo is fairly gentle so maybe I need more oomph.

It worked! Fairy liquid onto dry hair then lathered up and rinsed in the shower. Two wash and rinses with normal shampoo and a shed load of conditioner. My hair looks and feels amazing!

My hair's naturally greasy, and I always apply the shampoo while it's dry.
