Oily scalp is usually a response from the scalp to excess bacteria that is down in the hair follicle. This excess bacteria that is deep in the hair follicle is trying to be expelled by the body so it secretes oil. However the oils are not usually enough to get rid of the depp bacteria and the oil eventually hardens to create sebum plugs which can lead to hair health problems. Special, natural based shampoos have been developed to eliminate the build up in the hair follicle. The conglomerate of herbal extracts and zinc that gets rid of the bacteria is called Zincplex.

P.S: just to correct Simon, hair doesn’t eat. Therefore, it doesn’t need nourishment.

I always had normal, beautiful hair without using many products or dying it. I started to have the oily hair problem recently (about a few years ago.) I don’t believe that it’s anything to do with an oily diet- it’s a myth just like “eat oily food and you’ll have pimples”. I tried different shampoos since then, from expensive to dollar store with varying results and discovered that it all depends on the quality of shampoos we use. A few years ago manufacturers cared about quality and making your hair clean, but their tactics changed: now, no matter what you use to wash your hair with (with all this new conditioning, 2 in 1, volume boosting etc) manufacturers are not making shampoos that really clean so we’ll use them more often and buy more of it (that way they make more money!). Organic products are no better, they are just the same products minus or plus a few ingredients and if you think of it even poison can be labeled “organic”.
The real solution to greasy hair is first of all not washing it too often and second buying shampoos without conditioners and other “special effects”. After all, the definition of “shampoo” is to clean hair, it doesn’t have to be expensive and do miracles, it just has to be simple like any other soap you use. Unfortunately, now there’s not many simple shampoos on the market, and people over process their hair, that’s why we prefer to use things like “Pantene” that are contradictory: they wash but they leave residue, or they make your hair silky but they don’t clean enough etc. So my point is: buy the simplest shampoo in the store, even shower gel would do.

i’m not sure whether i’m wrong or right since there aare to many information in the world. As i know greasy hair usually accompanied with oily skin due to the over secretion of oil. i suggest to use shampoo with rich in neem and henna. Try look for organic and natural shampoo coz these shampoo do no harm to your hair which without those petrol chemical ingredient. You may not see the instant effect from the organic/natural shampoo but actually it works. This kind of shampoo usually detox your hair then it try nourish your hair and finally solve your problem. Product i can suggest such as Aubrey organic, avalon etc.
