Greasy hair is essentially a mix of debris and your scalp’s natural oils that accumulate over time. All sorts of things build up on your hair between washing – pollution, scalp flakes, dirt, sebum… and this is what’s giving your hair that greasy look and feel between washes. It doesn’t matter whether your hair is thick, fine, curly, or straight; people of all hair types are exposed to environmental aggressors and produce sebum.

It probably doesn’t feel fair that your hair is feeling greasy so quickly, but with a few small changes, you can take back charge of your washing routine.
That’s what we’re here for! Read on to arm yourself against hair that gets greasy too quickly and achieve shiny, happy hair.

“Shampoo for greasy hair, or hair that gets greasy quickly, should be lightweight and not leave your hair with that dreaded heavy and flat feeling after washing.”
But shampoo for greasy hair, or hair that gets greasy quickly, should be lightweight and not leave your hair with that dreaded heavy and flat feeling after washing. Rather than shampoo combining two or more benefits – such as giving clean and voluminous hair – lookout for clear formulas. They are typically equipped with lots of cleansing surfactants that remove the excess oil effectively without adding any unwanted, heavy ingredients.
We know how much of a burden greasy hair can be on day-to-day life, so our experts have designed a unique formula to battle it - Pantene Advanced Hairfall Solution Shampoo. With a clear formula that works for anyone whose hair is already greasy by day 2 post-wash, this is the perfect cleansing shampoo for greasy hair. Of course, super fine hair may need something that’s even lighter. If this is you, grab yourself our Pantene Total Damage Care that deeply (but gently) lifts dirt and impurities from your scalp. It also doses your hair up with essential nutrients leaving it feeling healthy, lightweight, and free flowing.
After washing, keep your styling products to a minimum; for hair that is easily weighed down or gets greasy quickly, it’s essential you swap heavy hair oils and thick styling creams for products that are super lightweight. While hair that’s dry and thirsty will soak these up like nobody’s business, in the case of fine hair that’s prone to greasiness, you’ll soon feel like it’s time to wash your hair again. If you do use styling products often, our experts recommend using Pantene Lively Clean shampoo to remove the dirt, greasiness and impurities deeply. This helps clarify your scalp and hair, so that you get that fresh hair feeling.
So, you see, it only takes a few simple changes to your routine to grab control of your hair with both hands and swap greasiness for hair that’s the envy of all your friends. Wave goodbye to grease and say hello to shiny, happy, and beautiful hair.
