No matter what shampoo you use, your hair gets greasy again at a rapid rate.

Excess sebum on the scalp can be caused by several factors. It can be due to a change in hormones, but it can also be due to the products you use, which can be too rich.

Key ingredients can help regulate excess sebum, such as hyaluronic acid or certain essential oils. We suggest you try these 5 shampoos designed to balance the scalp without irritating it, in order to limit its oil production.
