Will this cause my hair to be greasy? I don't have naturally dry hair and hardly ever use shampoo, I just want a product to make my hair shinier.

It shouldn't. I think that it can be a bit drying actually so I usually use it with a good conditioner.

It does not make my hair greasy at all and my hair is very oily naturally. My stylist said it is silicone based and just coats the shaft to make it shiney.

I actually use it as a conditioner, but it's also great as a leave-in conditioner after. For optimum results (which I only do if I have an event where I need my hair to look great the next day) is shampoo, put it in, sleep in it, then rinse it out the next day. It's not greasy to sleep in at all, and it leaves your hair silky soft. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Yes....does not have to be applied to damp hair like some other products. In my opinion, I think it actually worked BETTER on dry hair. It also does not make the hair greasy looking after application when dry, if that was a concern.

My hair is in the middle between oily and dry though I have always had the problem that conditioner and other products have always left a "greasy" feel. Not so with this product. I would describe it as a great preparation for whatever styling you want to do after washing.

That sounds like a question for their product specialists... but in general, I don't think a shampoo can make your scalp more oily. The oil comes from the glands. However, as Shea Moisture products are for those with dry, frizzy or damaged hair, they probably aren't what you need. At least not on a daily basis.

I would not use this shampoo on oily hair. This shampoo makes my hair pretty oily and I have average/dry hair.

I've used the product in my hair to help with splits ends and it leaves your hair greasy but makes the hair look really healthy. I got a lot of compliments. After about 2 weeks of use, I noticed my hair is shiner and healthier. I use it only once a week in my hair, I have naturally curly hair.

I don't oil my hair as my hair is naturally very oily ... I use this shampoo to help actually get my hair clean. A lot of shampoos aren't designed for people with oily hair and I have been very pleased at how clean my hair gets when I use this shampoo.

Hi Christopher. It all depends on your hair type. On the company website, they have usage directions for dry hair, oily hair, etc. However, as many have said, there are benefits to using both regardless.

A little goes a long way. Start off with no more than a half dollar size for the entire head if your hair is thick, quarter size if you have fine to medium hair. Massage it thru with your fingers, comb or brush for even distribution. I personally don't feel it is greasy afterwards...really it soaks right in. I have used at least 10-15 different natural oils on my hair, so I speak from experience. As always you have to experiment a little before you know how much for sure. It's great as a hot oil treatment too!

I think it would be ok for oily hair because it's not greasy. I use the product as a shiner on my hair once it's dry. Using it while my hair is wet is an idea.

It helped me! My hair usually gets really greasy after 3 days (I have curly hair so I don't wash daily) but since using this, I haven't had any problems at all! I was actually shocked at how the ends of my hair were moisturized but my scalp was still clean and normal. Everyone's body is different though, all I can say is give it a try! :)

I usually mix it with a very light conditioner such as Suave Natural to pre-poo. I also apply to my edges before or after i blow out/flat iron. This product is does not leave my hair greasy/oily.

I just use the shampoo and get decent results. But then again, my hair is extremely dry to the point where I have to shampoo with this product twice in the same shower session before feeling like my hair is moisturized 'enough'.

I natrualy have dry hair. But this product does not dry your hair. I can comb my hair using my fingers and remain very content with the results.

My recommendation would be to purchase one of the small bottles of WEN from Amazon. They come in several different scents. That is what I did to start out to see if the product lived up to the advertisements. It was also helpful to watch the YouTube videos on how to properly use the product. My hair is very fine and would tangle every time I washed it. WEN has fixed this problem and now my hair is soft, shiny and never looks oily at the roots. I do not know if it would help with a dry scalp, but it is great for hair.

It will depend on your hair type. I am Caucasian with fairly thick hair. I use a TINY bit rubbed between my palms to smooth flyaways, and it does not make my hair greasy because it's such a small amount. If you are looking for an all over hair moisturizing treatment, I'd try coconut oil instead.
