The Best Shampoo and Conditioner for an Oily Scalp and Dry Ends
It can be tricky if your scalp is oily and your ends are dry. With different issues affecting the top and bottom of your hair, you might need help choosing the best product. Find the right shampoo and conditioner to restore balance and moisture to your hair with this guide.
What Causes an Oily Scalp?
While the scalp's natural oil, called sebum, is beneficial for hair and scalp health, excessively oily hair can feel uncomfortable, leave hair looking greasy, or compromise scalp health. An oily scalp might be due to genetics, a skin condition like seborrheic dermatitis, overwashing your hair, or using a harsh shampoo.
What Causes Dry Hair?
Dry hair can be caused by UV rays, heat damage, chemical treatments, washing your hair too often, using harsh shampoos or styling products, and spending too much time in chlorinated or salty water. Your hair may appear to be dull or frizzy due to the breakdown of the oils in the outer layer of the hair.
What About Split Ends?
The ends of your hair are the most vulnerable to damage; they can lose their protective layer of natural oils, causing the hair to split. If your ends are looking dull and frizzy, take a closer look at the ends of a few strands of hair. If you notice any split ends, it’s likely time for a trim.
