If you're dealing with greasy, oily roots, washing your hair is probably a daily activity for you and dry shampoo is almost definitely your beauty best friend. Oily roots can make styling difficult and volume non-existent, and more generally make your hair feel, well, not-so-fresh. Some people do naturally produce more oil than others and subsequently get oilier roots, but either way, your choice of shampoo really can make a difference when it comes to reducing the greasiness.

On the surface, shampoo seems like a simple enough product, right? But it's actually a very hard-working one, and not all shampoos are created equal. It can be a challenge to find a shampoo that reduces excess oils and breaks down product build-up whilst not stripping your hair of its natural oils — this will only make the problem worse. If you want to take scalp cleansing to the next level, try using a scalp massager in the shower to work the shampoo in — this will help get to those harder to reach areas in your roots to really sweep away dirt and oil.

Read on to shop some of our favourite shampoos for greasy hair that help to get rid of excess sebum and remove any build-up caused by styling products and dry shampoo.
