what treatments can i use on my head so i don't look like my head as been in a bucket of oil,any good shampoos i can use. :)
I have also had this problem, lucky for me my brother is a hairdresser, so he suggested, washing my hair in cool water using normal shampoo but no conditioner and finishing it off with a rinse in as cold water as you can stand sounded awful but for me it has worked may not work for you but may be worth a try before buying other shampoos my bathroom is full of hem for one thing or another x

don't know how long your hair is, but mine is between chin and shoulders. I had a Brazillian Blowout (Brazillian Blowdry in UK) using Acai products and it worked beautifully. (I have no financial interest in this or any products I refer to here) It's quite expensive but it lasted for four months in my case. my hair finally got shiny again after a few years of being all frizzy. the frizzy was not my normal state -- def lupus related.
also i use Minoxidil 5% (on prescription through the hospital -- as only 2% is recommended for women without) and this made the resulting hair grow back a bit like straw - and totally white as well. Of course I am thrilled that I got any hair to grow but now i have to dye my roots.
Other than that I only use Sulphate-Free shampoo (look online there are a few over the counter brands doing it now but initially i had to find in a salon and it was quite pricey). That def helps with the dryness. Nothing with sodium laurel sulphate - if you read the ingredients list they will almost all have it in. Actually I found a brand sold in the Pound Shops that was called "anti breakage..." and that is sulphate free. doesn't suds up much but hey, it's only a pound and it works! so i actually bought loads of them.
one last thing i use along with the above new regimen is a SMALL (tiny) amount of argan oil. also called moroccan oil. I use the light blue label bottle for thin or light hair. again, only a tiny amount spread on my hands and applied to very damp hair after washing and combing out. mainly to the ends.
So there you go. my routine -- about a year and a half i've been doing the above and it's changed things for me enormously. Good Luck.
hi i have had the same problem , i have shoulder length hair , i could wash it in the morn and it feels greasy by the afternoon . i bought some loreal elvive body building thickening shampoo for my daughter , didnt realise it said "for men" on it , she refused to use it so i did , not wanting to waste it and it is briliant , i now wash my hair every other day and even on day 2 it doesnt feel too bad .. it is in a silver coloured bottle x
H I have found Poly Tar to be fantastic. Stinks a bit, but solves itchy, oily, dry etc. Also doesnt cause any irritation on the rest of your body.
I hope this helps.
