I have long, straight hair that gets greasy SO easily. I'm talking the day after washing. Ive tried the aveeno apple cider shampoo, the loreal purple hydra pure one, the monday clarify one in the pink bottle. What are my fellow greasy haired girls using?? Thank you!

Lush’s Jumping Juniper shampoo bar was a godsend for my greasy hair, with their Veganese conditioner (light enough to avoid grease, but detangles long hair -use it on the length, not the roots). Their “Squeaky” shampoo is amazing for volume and degreasing too but quite expensive. You only need a tiny amount if double washing though!

When my son had his hair long and curly it was a bit prone to oiliness and those worked for him.

It's bizarre, isn't it? In the olden days you got shampoo for dry hair, for normal hair and for greasy hair; now shampoo manufacturers presume we all have dry/damaged hair and want ALL of our products to moisturise, condition or generally add creaminess.

I had a greasy phase during perimenopause and resorted to washing up liquid followed by a nice conditioner!
I'm sure others will have better suggestions.

YES. THIS!!

it’s so frustrating. The nonsense about not washing it so often is just that: absolute nonsense. I’ve tried it so many times over the years and have concluded that some of us just have greasy hair unfortunately.

i find I can get 2 days from vosene OP but I do just need to wash every other day as the absolute minimum. There was another thread on this last week which had some recommendations, I will see if I can share a link

The only one I found that worked is Phyto Cedrat Purifying Treatment Shampoo. Expensive but gave me respite! (Also my hair has stopped being greasy with age & hormone changes - don't know how old you are but don't despair as it may not be forever.)
