How should I use THE DOCTOR Shampoo with Tar and Ichthyol if my scalp gets oily but my hair ends are dry?

If your scalp tends to get oily quickly but your hair ends are dry or porous, it’s best to focus THE DOCTOR Shampoo mainly at the roots and scalp. Wet your hair thoroughly, then apply the shampoo directly to the scalp, gently massaging to loosen oil, flakes, and residue. Avoid working the shampoo into the lengths unless they also feel heavy or dirty. After rinsing, you can use a conditioner or hair mask on the mid-lengths and ends to help maintain softness and hydration. This approach allows the tar and ichthyol to address excess sebum at the scalp without over-stripping the rest of your hair. Adjust the frequency of use based on how your scalp responds; some people use this shampoo for every wash, while others alternate it with a milder formula to balance cleansing and comfort. If you’re unsure about sensitivity to tar-based products, start with moderate use and observe how your scalp feels after each wash.
