Description
If your roots look greasy soon after washing, an oily hair shampoo can help you cleanse more effectively without overloading the lengths. In this category you’ll find professional shampoos chosen for oily scalps and fast-greasing hair.
The range includes options such as sulphate-free formulas, and shampoos with BHA (salicylic), clay & charcoal, panthenol (B5), zinc, or peptides—use the filters to narrow down what suits your routine.

If oiliness comes with other concerns
For flakes, you may prefer anti-dandruff shampoo. If your lengths feel stressed from styling or colour, look at damaged hair or coloured hair shampoos.
How to choose
- Start with your scalp: if oil builds up fast, choose a deeper-cleansing option; if you wash often, consider a sulphate-free shampoo for a gentler routine.
- Match the finish you want: clay & charcoal options suit a “fresh roots” feel; panthenol (B5) can be a good pick when the lengths feel dry.
- Check for flakes: if oiliness and visible flakes go together, compare with anti-dandruff shampoo categories.
- Consider your hair history: coloured or weakened lengths may do better with two-step washing—balancing shampoo on the scalp, a milder product on the ends.
Questions & answers
How often should I wash oily hair?
Wash as often as your scalp needs to feel clean and comfortable. If you’re washing daily, try a lighter, sulphate-free option and focus shampoo on the scalp, letting the foam rinse through the lengths. If you wash less often, a more clarifying formula may suit you better.
Should I use a balancing shampoo on the lengths too?
Usually, apply it mainly to the scalp and roots, where oil is produced. Let the lather run through the mid-lengths and ends rather than scrubbing them. If your ends feel dry or stressed, alternate with a shampoo aimed at damaged or coloured hair for the lengths.
What ingredients can I filter for in this category?
You can filter for sulphate-free options, BHA (salicylic), clay & charcoal, panthenol (B5), zinc, and peptides. Use these filters to narrow down the feel you want—such as deeper cleansing, a lighter finish, or a more comfort-focused wash.
Is oily hair the same as dandruff?
Not always. Oily roots can happen without flakes, and flakes can appear with different scalp conditions. If you’re seeing visible flakes alongside oiliness, it’s worth browsing the anti-dandruff shampoo category and choosing a product that matches both concerns.
