I'd like to know the same
my hair is horrible. It gets oily so quick. The only shampoo that somewhat helped from the ones I used made specially for oily hair(Redken-horrible, Body Shop, Lush etc) was L'oreal kerastese.

This will sound counterintuitive, but washing less can help reduce the amount of oil your scalp produces, thus producing less oily hair. The transition sucks, but I've noticed a change since I started washing every other day.
That being said, I've had luck with the Body Shop's Rainforest Balance Shampoo and Conditioner, as well as Lush's Squeaky Green shampoo bar and Jungle conditioner. I've also noticed a difference when I let my hair air dry down as opposed to up in a messy bun or ponytail. I get more out of my wash if I let it dry completely before pulling it up.

^ like the above post said, washing your hair less will hhelp to reduce oil. when you wash your hair too frequently, the shampoo starts to dry out your scalp. Then, your scalp, lacking moisture, does the only thing is can do. It makes oil.
A fantastic product for an oil scalp is Rene Furterer Complexe 5. It is a scalp treatment to be used once or twice a week. It is an oil, and it smells awful. I knwo i know, your thinking i need less oil. But this baby works. It works by applying 35 drops on the head, section the hair off into five and do five drops on each section. Massage the scalp. You will start to feel your scalp heat up a bit. This is because all the blood vessels are opening, and nourishing your scalp, and the root of your hair properly. It encourages them to be in optimal health. This product can help with things like; too much oil, not enough oil, hair loss, hair growing in limp, hair growing very slowly, dandruff. The idea is, if your in optimal health, these problems shoudl not exsist, or decrease dramatically.
Complexe 5 shoudl be used 10 minutes before you jump in the shower. Use a treatment based shampoo on top, like the Rene furterer Cubrabicia (i think?) line for oily scalps. When you use the complexe 5, for about 10 minutes, your scalp is open to recieve treatment products much better, so they work more effectivly. The complexe lasts a good 6 months. It smells awful, but gets washed away within 10 minutes, so who cares.
For myself the complexe made my hair grow quicker, and i noticed a lot less hair loss. I was loosing a normal amount of hair, but when i used it consistently, i would loose about 1/4 of what i used to loose. Our hair's life span is about 7 years or so. With complexe 5, your single hair's lifespan can increase by a year or two. so for girls with fine hair lacking volume, this will help.
My BF was dandruff prone, and that product cured him of it completely!
give it a try, im sure it will help you.

Hi,
Hair grease or oil appear oily and lank, washed frequently needs to use, is actively providing a volume of poetry even shampoo nice increase roots in the light of the permanent, to reduce the dispersion of oil to six days fresh food and drinking water try to eat a large amount of eight glasses each, to change the system of a healthy diet is stimulating the scalp, please wash your hair less often or less. Using an oil-free shampoo every three days, brushes and combs Please avoid excess.
Thanks a lot.

Hi.. Your problem is faced by many people. My colleague also has the same problem of oily hair. I was surfing some good solutions for her to get rid of it. You can adopt this at any point of time when you face any hair related problem. The vitamins, minerals and enzymes that are present in aloe vera are very helpful for getting rid of oily hair. I also found about this website that has a wide range of hair beauty supply online products. Few days back, I read on the web that eggs are great for conditioning the hair. The egg white combat oily hair and makes the hair smooth and shinny.

I realize this is an old post, but I have very oily hair as well.
I use Aveda Rosemary Mint shampoo, and then on Sunday I use BB Bumble Sunday Shampoo. It seems to remove the minimal buildup from the Aveda shampoo. It keeps the oil under control, however, I still have to wash my hair every day.

Washing your hair every day is probably why your hair is so oily.
My hair is oily but not super oily. For me, switching to a sulfate-free shampoo (while the various sulfates are safe to use, they can strip the hair of its natural oils) and a silicone-free conditioner (silicones can build up in the hair and give the appearance of shine, but they do nothing for your hair and most aren't water-soluble so build up) has helped quite a lot. I wash my hair only three times a week.

Shelly,
I've tried to detox my hair several times.
For a while back I did 3 times a week (for a year) it took a lot of discipline. But my hair literally dropped oil. Almost ran down my forehead. I was actually told by people that I didn't know "oh you look terrible! You need to go home and take a shower"
I gave up. Embarassement factor was just too high.

Something is causing your scalp to seriously overproduce oil, if it's that bad. Maybe see a dermatologist (or some sort of specialist), if you can?

I suggested you have oily hairs. Hair shafts are protected from breakage, and your scalp stay in good condition due to oil glands. These glands might secrete too much oil due to variety of reasons such as hormonal fluctuations, hereditary conditions or the natural texture of your hair.
Oil secretion is good for the hair as it maintain the roots well but nothing in excess is ever good, and the proof of it lies in the oily hair type.The few remedies for oily hairs.
1. Drink Lots Of Water :- Drink plenty of water to obtain a healthy scalp and hair.
2. Get A Shampoo For Oily Hair :- it is best to shampoo regularly to keep your hair clean and grease free.
3. Rinse Thoroughly :- When shampooing, ensure that you rinse your hair thoroughly. Any residue will only attract more oil and dirt. Never leave any soap or shampoo residue on hair.
4. Shampoo Every Alternate Day :- Since sebum, dirt and impurities tend to build up on your scalp, make sure that you shampoo your hair every alternate day. You have to be careful that the shampoo isn’t very harsh.
5. Use Specially Designed Shampoos :- it is important to choose shampoos. Normal hair requires shampoos with a pH between 4.5 and 6.7, but oily hair needs one which goes beyond that.
