Will this shampoo make my naturally oily scalp even more oily, or will it help control the oil so I won't have to wash daily?

I am not sure because I tried it a long time ago and it is alright shampoo and pretty good moisturizing , but there is nothing miracle about it. It is just a shampoo. It will not clarify as good but it only lather alright , I would say 1.2 but not for people with oily scalp. I think I know why , it has natural ingredients but it needs more working in process to know what natural ingredients that can elimate oily scalp. It won't make your hair more oily. You have wrong idea... some people with oily scalp have uncontrollable sebrum that allow hair to look heavy or too oily. There is nothing you can do with shampoo daily but try use good moisturizing tree tea shampoo to put a stop to it .

My experience was that my hair was oily for the first 4-6 weeks. My scalp adjusted, so now nearly a year later, I am washing about twice a week and barely using conditioner. My hair looks great and has never been so thick.For most people, an oily scalp is your body compensating for harsh shampoo or too frequent shampooing.

No this shampoo will not make your hair more oily. That's not its purpose. It will gently clean your hair but I don't believe it will strip your hair of all the oils(there are some good oils). As for knowing if you need to wash your hair daily, it depends on your hair type or texture. I can't give you all the answers because I didn't create this product but testing the shampoo out is the best bet to know if it works for you or not. Everybody is different it might work great for your oily oil. So spend the money and buy a bottle because you won't know until you try it! Good luck!

I don't think it would. I don't have an oily scalp and use this for dry, frizzy hair, but it doesn't feel like it weighs the hair down or anything. They have other shampoos, like the Deep Cleansing, which might be better for an oily scalp. You can visit SheaMoisture's Facebook page and post a question there. Usually one of their representatives will answer your question pretty quickly. And if you do buy this in a drugstore, you can return it if you don't like it. Just save your receipt!

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.

Weird, I don't have that problem! Mine is shiny, but not at all greasy. How long have you been using it? I've heard that it can take a couple of weeks to your hair to adjust to not getting shampooed, and that could possibly be why it's feeling greasy. Your scalp might not realize yet that it doesn't have to make so much oil to replace the moisture that's usually stripped away by harsher shampoos.

Yes, it doesn't seem to make a difference. I think Nioxin 3 scalp treatment is a better product though, and that you use on your wet, washed scalp.

You add it into your conditioner. It works wonders! Also if you want you can use it as a pre-poo treatment. By that I mean take as much as you need in your hand and apply the oil directly to the ends of your hair. Then put your hair in a top knot/bun and let the oil sit on your hair for at least an hour then when you are ready to rinse the oil out follow up with your favorite shampoo and conditioner. I was able to tell the difference of my hair in just the first wash.

I have not tried this on scalp so can't say for sure. But the product itself is non greasy. When I wash my hand, I don't feel any grease or take any time to wash out.

i dont think its too much, i dont think this product can do harm -- i mean unless you drink it :) but thats how i apply it directly to my scalp. As far as your hair being oily thats up to you, the more oil i use the pretty my hair is and i'm of native american and dominican so my hair is a mix of waves and curls, but with the oil it becomes bone straight, (no heat required) i guess because its weighed down. So have at it girl. I hope this helps.

It's a thick hair oil, not a liquid like a serum, think hair pomade, so I guess if you're suffering from dandruff you could use it daily, but I use it only once each week on my scalp and on the hair itself maybe three times each week.

My personal input..I really love this brush it really is great for the scalp and doesn't tangle the hair..I would brush it well before I shampoo and during the cleaning I think this would help a great deal.And use some coconut oil great for that as well.Hope this helps!

This is an oil and very concentrated. I also don't think this is what you are looking for. Adding more oil to oily scalp would not work. If you like the smell, you could add it to witch hazel or diluted vinegar for a rinse.

I don't have a perm (Although I highly doubt this will loosen your perm), but I do have very fine and oily hair (must be washed every day) and I do not have a problem with this adding any grease to it. I don't condition my scalp though, just pretty much the back of neck down. It is amazing and makes my hair silky soft! You can't beat the price, you should give it a try!

I use this shampoo to get out the hairspray I use. It seems that if you oil your hair, it would take the oil out as well.

I use it every other day but I don't know why you couldn't use it daily. It's not a harsh shampoo. However, washing your hair every day will cause you to produce more oil on the scalp.

I got it last year. It doesn't make a difference. I'm a native women woth thick hair. Shampoo & Conditioner just shines the hair, the serum makes it greasy.

Yes, I use it a day or two before I shampoo, and when my hair gets dry, I use it as a dressing. I don't apply it to my scalp, just the hair. It's very oily, so it's not needed for daily use. Well, not for me.

I am not an expert but I wouldn't think any shampoo would do that. At best I would think it would not cause them to get worse. All I can see is the shampoo seemed very caustic for my hair. I can't say what effect it would have on the scalp.

I have. It doesn't seem to make a difference. I think Nioxin 3 is a better product though, and that you use on your wet washed scalp.

I am not selling this product, I use it all the time. Yes, for all hair types, for me my hair is oily, thick in most areas and a little thinner on top. I have so much oil that I wash my hair every day. With our heat that we are having now my hair seems to stay oily. I have no problem washing it as often as I feel it needs. I keep my hair cut real short so its less bother. I have tried other shampoos but I keep coming back to Redken. Hope I answer your question!
