Try keeping your hair dry once or twice in a week to maintain a healthy sebum production Use Sulfate Free Shampoos & Conditioners Shampoos and conditioners that are free of sulfates are a good choice for those who generally have oily scalps. Sulfates act as cleansing agents and can often overly strip the oils from your scalp. This Aloe Vera Shampoo and Conditioner from EverYoung will deeply hydrate and balance oily hair, leaving your locks healthy. Don’t use too much product It’s best to really minimize the amount of products you use if you’re prone to getting oily hair. If you’re using a proper and balancing shampoo and conditioner, there’s not really anything else you need to add in. If you do feel the need to add in extra products, be mindful of the amount you’re adding in.
