This shampoo is formulated for normal to oily scalps and hair that feels weaker or duller from styling and washing. Its cleansing agents target excess oil and residue at the roots, while the formula includes conditioning components like polyquaternium-7 to improve slip and combability on the lengths. For hair with an oily scalp and dry ends, you can use this shampoo on your scalp and roots, then rinse and apply a matching balm or conditioner primarily to the mid-lengths and ends. This approach allows you to cleanse the scalp effectively without stripping the drier parts of your hair, as the shampoo itself is not a heavy, oil-rich cleanser.
In general, when dealing with this hair type, it helps to focus your washing and massaging on the scalp area. Adjust how often you wash based on how quickly your scalp gets greasy—every other day might work for some, while others may need daily washes. If your ends feel very dry or rough even with a conditioner, consider a weekly nourishing hair mask or oil treatment on the ends only.
