Good Shampoo

If you have oily hair then washing them daily is kind of a must. When you shampoo your hair make sure you rub your scalp well and get it clean and dirt free. Dirt on the scalp will further aggravate the surfacing of oil. So, invest in a good mild shampoo that can be used daily. It is even better if you can get one specifically created for oily hair and scalp.

Condition Only The Ends

While conditioning your hair after shampooing, make sure you only apply the conditioner on the ends of your hair and not on your scalp. A conditioner is made of ingredients that are greasier in nature, and hence they give shine and smoothness to hair. This greasiness is however counterproductive for your scalp.
