Best shampoo for greasy hair: Cowshed Moody Cow Balancing Shampoo

Grease-busting strength: 5/10

If your hair is prone to oil, but you don’t fancy trying any of the intense detoxing formulas, Cowshed’s Moody Cow Shampoo is the best place to start. The gentle formula cleanses oil effectively, without being too harsh or stripping the hair. It’s formulated with natural actives such as Manuka honey, petitgrain, and cinnamon extracts, so not only is it balancing for an oily scalp, but it’s also nourishing.

Over time it should help to regulate oil production, meaning your hair won’t get quite so greasy, quite so quick.

Best shampoo for greasy hair: Sachajuan Normalizing Shampoo

Grease-busting strength: 5.5/10

In case you couldn’t guess from the label, Sachajuan’s formula has been designed to ‘normalize’ hair. Which is just a fancy way of saying it cleanses any oil or dirt from the scalp and roots, whilst also soothing dryness and sensitivity. The formula contains salicylic acid which is able to dissolve dead cells and combat dandruff, whilst rosemary oil and menthol work to calm and soothe.

The balanced formula means it’s safe to use ‘often’, and won’t leave your hair feeling stripped or straw-like.

Best shampoo for greasy hair: L’Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay

Grease-busting strength: 6/10

Just like a clay face mask draws excess oil out of the pores on your complexion, this clay-enriched range helps to eliminate excess oil on the scalp. Clever, huh?

L’Oreal used three ‘refined clays’ in a pre-shampoo scalp treatment, which is then followed by this shampoo, and finally a hydrating conditioner. The shampoo is gentle enough to use on a regular basis and will cleanse oil effectively. Amp it up by teaming with the pre-shampoo clay treatment once a week.

Best shampoo for greasy hair: Vichy Ultra Soothing Shampoo

Grease-busting strength: 6.5/10

If your scalp is not only oil-prone but also easily irritated, itchy or sensitive, this is the shampoo to try. With salicylic and lactic acid, the formula has been designed to help clarify and remove any build up that could be irritating to the scalp or weighing down roots. It soothes skin and calms any irritations whilst leaving hair clean and refreshed.

Best shampoo for greasy hair: Redken Scalp Relief Oil Detox

Grease-busting strength: 7/10

This shampoo helps to extend your hair wash by keeping oil at bay for longer. Whilst many shampoos can be harsh or stripping, this one has been designed to balance the scalp’s pH and put a stop to excessive oil production.

Leave it on for 1-2 minutes and it works as a treatment, mattifying the scalp without leaving it dry.

Best shampoo for greasy hair: L’Oreal Professional Pure Resource

Grease-busting strength: 8/10

Described by L’Oreal as a ‘clean sweep’ for your hair and scalp, this purifying shampoo contains Citramine, which cleverly removes excess grease and residual build up from hard water or styling products – both of which can be exasperating oil production.

Safe to use on coloured and chemically-treated hair – within reason, this one is more of a weekly treatment than an every day option.

Best shampoo for greasy hair: Bumble & Bumble Sunday Shampoo

Grease-busting strength: 10/10

To be used once a week, this detoxing shampoo will blitz your locks of ALL build up (from pollutants to excess oil, and hard water to styling products) leaving it feeling light and clean.

If your hair is coloured or chemically treated approach this one with care though, as it can be a little intense for fragile locks.
