Every Other Day

• The experts at UK Hairdressers agree that washing your hair everyday will strip the scalp of its natural oils. Washing it every other day will get rid of excess build-up without over-stripping the scalp of these natural oils.
  
  

Wash It Everyday

• If you don't feel fresh without washing your hair everyday, use an all-natural shampoo to remove sebum build-up gently without over-drying your hair and scalp. Jojoba shampoo works well for oily hair, but any sodium laurel sulfate-free shampoo will do the trick.
  
  

Bottom Line

• Oily hair is made worse by chemical agents in shampoo that strip the natural oils from the scalp and promote more oil production. Switch to a natural shampoo free of sodium laurel sulfate and parabens to control the oil on your scalp, and wash it every other day. In between washes, the experts at Handbag.com suggest using a dry shampoo on greasy roots to restore body and manageability.
