Sachajuan Normalizing Shampoo

revolve.com, Dhs114

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.

L’Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Clay

carethy.net, Dhs23

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.

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.

Redken Scalp Relief Oil Detox

perfumespremium.co.uk, Dhs49

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.

L’Oreal Professional Pure Resource

fruugo.ae, Dhs43

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.

Bumble & Bumble Sunday Shampoo

selfridges.com, Dhs89

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.
