Oily roots and dry ends: how to balance hair care

Oily roots and dry ends can coexist. The scalp and lengths have different needs, so there is no need to try to dry out all the hair with one product.

The main rule

Choose shampoo for the scalp and conditioner, mask and leave-in products for the lengths. Focus shampoo on the roots and nourishing products mainly from mid-lengths to ends.

What usually helps

• Wash when the scalp is actually oily rather than artificially extending the intervals.

• Rinse shampoo and conditioner thoroughly.

• Avoid rich masks on the scalp unless the manufacturer directs otherwise.

• Regularly wash out styling products and dry shampoo thoroughly.

A balancing option

ELEA ARTISTO balancing shampoo for oily roots and dry ends 300 ml is designed for this type of care routine.

What to apply to dry ends

After washing, use a light conditioner or leave-in product only through the lengths. For very dry ends, a small amount of oil can be the final step.
