https://community.sephora.com/t5/Best-Hair-Ever/Oily-roots-but-dry-hair/m-p/866233#M24019 <P>My hair is straight and fine but has the same dry hair, oily roots problem. &nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Things that help me:&nbsp;<BR />Sulfate-free shampoo. This makes a huge difference.&nbsp;</P><P>-cone-free shampoo - this seems to help prevent the oily at the roots from building up so fast</P><P>Reducing the number of times a week I wash - at first it felt weird but then I got used to it and my scalp calmed down some.&nbsp;<BR />Making sure that I only condition the ends - not the roots. I wash most heavily at the roots and kind of ignore the ends.&nbsp;<BR />Using natural (sulfate and -cone free) salt spray instead of other styling products where possible - I buy mine from GnarlyWhale.&nbsp;<BR /><BR />(I have other things that I avoid due to allergies that I don't know if they help, so I'll mention them: my hair products are free of fragrance, soy, and wheat/gluten products.)&nbsp;</P> Tue, 03 Dec 2013 06:43:34 GMT ladymeag 2013-12-03T06:43:34Z
