So you have an oily scalp and greasy hair, huh? Let us guess: Your bathroom is loaded with dry shampoo, and you’re probably washing your hair every single day to keep it looking clean. If that sounds about right, try swapping out your current shampoo for a cleansing formula made specifically for oily hair. Opting for a product that works to combat excessive oiliness, whether it’s a result of buildup, genetics or changes in your hormones, can transform how your hairstyle holds up and even help you go an extra day without washing your hair.

And don’t sleep on your conditioner, either. Just because your hair skews toward the greasy end of the spectrum doesn’t mean you can skip out on necessary nourishment. Oil production is predominantly focused on the roots, which means your ends still need tender love and affection from a restorative conditioner. Ahead, we recommend our top shampoo and conditioner combos for oily hair.
