Shampoo and Conditioner recommendation

[lidianams]

Hello everyone!

I am looking for a new brand of shampoo and conditioner that I should try for my hair. I have long wavy brown hair, that tends to become oily on the roots fast. In the good weeks, I manage to wash my hair only two times a week, in very hot weeks, I have to wash it three times (but I never go beyond three times).

My greatest concern is that I live in Miami and my thick/voluminous hair has a hard time not being all frizzy and "shapeless" in the city humidity. As a leave-in, I use Living Proof 5-1, which I love (the fragrance is soft, and the hair softness and shine is awesome), but I don't apply it near the roots. So I was looking for a shampoo and a conditioner that would help giving more natural balance to my hair, to fight frizz and the humidity effects, along with the Living Proof product.

I read the reviews of the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day shampoo and I saw many complains saying it dries the hair excessively. So I was hoping to get more input, and also other recommendations.

Thanks 🙂

If it's just the oily scalp that's the issue, have you tried dry shampoo? You'd want to make sure it's not one that comes out white on your dark hair - like PSSST, or the Batiste for dark hair. 

You could also try oil blotting sheets (on the scalp), rubbing witch hazel just into the scalp (or using a cotton ball soaked in witch hazel on the scalp).

You can also use cornstarch to soak up the excess oil.
