When shopping for hair products, it can be easy to feel like parched locks get all of the love. From moisturizing shampoos and conditioners to nourishing masks and hair oils, there are a lot of hydrating hair products on the market to choose from. The thing is, not every head of hair needs that level of intense moisture. For example, if you have oily hair, you may find that those richer products can weigh your strands down or leave you with greasy hair. That’s an indication that you need a shampoo for oily hair.
If you’re unsure where to start your search, that’s okay—we’re here to help. We’ve rounded up 22 of our best shampoos for oily hair. From daily formulas to deep-cleansing varieties designed to nip build-up in the bud, find our favorite oily hair shampoos below.

Should you shampoo oily hair?
A question stylists often hear is: How do I stop my hair from being oily? Truth be told, a little oil on your hair and scalp isn’t a bad thing, but too much can leave your strands feeling limp and greasy. Shampooing helps remove excess oil and product build-up to keep your mane looking fresh. How often you need to shampoo depends on your lifestyle, hair type, and hair texture: Finer hair generally needs to be shampooed more often, while those with thicker hair may be able to go a few days (or more) between washes.

Which shampoo is best for oily hair?
Generally speaking, the best shampoos for oily hair types tend to be on the lighter side so they don’t weigh down your already-oily strands. That said, there are a lot of different formulas to choose from, and the best one for you depends on your hair texture and other factors, like whether it’s color-treated or not. Here, find 22 of our best shampoos for oily hair worth checking out.
