What Shampoo Should I Use If My Hair Is Oily?

Dealing with oily hair can be frustrating. While sebum, the hair's natural oil, is important for maintaining the hair's softness and luster, too much of this oil can leave your locks limp and flat. Selecting a good shampoo for oily hair is imperative if you want to win the battle against excessively oily hair! If you suffer from oily hair and scalp, Pantene Pro-V's line of shampoos and conditioners can help you keep a fresh, clean feel and recover the volume you desire.

According to a panel of experts at MotherNature.com, fine, straight hair is most often affected by excessive oiliness because these scalps tend to contain more sebaceous oil glands. Additionally, the shaft's sleeker surface tends to distribute oil more readily than coarser or curlier types of hair. Pantene's Fine Hair Solutions line works well for those with super oily hair and provides weightless body that is gentle enough for chemically treated hair. Of all the customized solutions, the Fine Hair Solutions Formulas are the lightest. The Fine Hair collection contains formidable cleansers, super lightweight conditioners and barely-there finishing products that won't weigh your oily hair down.

While there is still ongoing discussion about the benefits of shampoo frequency in the hair care world, most experts agree that oily hair should be shampooed more frequently than other hair types. Here's what you can do to control your oily hair:

Use Fine Hair Solutions Shampoo and Conditioner to control oily hair.
For oily hair, lightweight shampoos and conditioners are key. Products should remain heavier on the cleansing side and lighter on the deposition side. Pantene's Fine Hair Solutions Shampoo is gentle enough for everyday use. Volumizing formulas like the Fine Hair Solutions products tend to be light enough to avoid leaving heavy oils and residues on already oily hair. Volumizing formulas deposit light proteins on the hair to increase shaft diameter, so they are good for giving the hair needed lift and support. These formulas are great for oily hair because they rinse cleanly so that each hair shaft can maximize its range of movement.

Pantene's Fine Hair Solutions is low on heavy silicones. Some silicone-based ingredients can coat the hair, leaving it feeling icky and weighed down. The silicones in Pantene's products are targeted so that they actually fill in areas of weakness along the hair shaft rather than simply sitting on top of the cuticle and coating it. This allows the hair to remain weightless and full of body all day long.

Pantene Pro-V Fine Hair Solutions offers a series of finishing gels, sprays and other products to take care of your oil-prone hair.
