I'd recommend a new brand
plus 4 other tips you should try.
First of all Head and Shoulders seems to only and specifically work for dandruff. If you've got a lot of dandruff then that's perfect. I've tried it but I don't like it.
I also have long brunette hair so it's prone to get oily. I switched to Pantene Pro-V 'Smooth' for shampooing & 'Nourished' for conditioning. I like it & love the way the fruity smell lingers on for so long.
However I found a new favourite and now use Dove Go Fresh Shampoo & conditioner - energizer with grapefruit & lemon-grass & absolutely fell in love with the way it smells, and the way it makes my hair feel.
Besides changing the shampoo you normally use try these 4 tips
Tip 1. Baby Powder - place some on your scalp and hair line then use your finger tips to spread it out until it becomes transparent, you don't want it to be seen. It makes your hair feel and look less oily.
When you notice your hair getting oily then apply powder.
It's just like make-up when it gets oily we add a powder/bronzer
Tip 2. Use a Hair Spray - preferably one that doesn't have an intoxicating smell. I use Garnier Fructis Style - Elastic Power Fix. If you want hair to appear less oiler I’d hairspray your hair 1-2hr before going to bed and the next morning it should appear wavy and dry, not oily usually you don't need to do this after you have done it once. do it a day after you have showered.
Straitening your hair also causes your hair to be oilier since your hands are constantly touching it.
So hair spray it. Just don't overdo it.
Tip 3. If you want a chemical free idea then leave your hair up in a bun more then you leave it down. do this for days on end (e.g. 5days a wk). When your hair is up it stays cleaner for more days and you won't be tempted to run your hands through your hair. Do this for a few months your hair will feel strengthened and healthier.
Tip 4. If you brush your hair, then stop! People who have oily hair don’t need to as we have natural oils that condition it and stop it from being tangled. I never brush my hair. and it works for me.
hope this helps :)
