Hi :)
I have really oily hair, I've tried almost everything and nothing seems to help.
I only wash my hair every second day.
I've tryed some different dry shampoos, it helps for about 10 minutes and then my hair is oily again.
Can you guys please give me some advice? :)

Paul Mitchell cleansing shampoo works wonders for oily hair.

I think you should look into products that help balance your oil production. L'oreal Professional has Mythic oil shampoo and conditioner(sold in salons), and it did a really good job for my hair. I have an oily scalp, and I find that anything thats for "oily hair", actually makes my hair over time get oily twice as fast as it usually does. If however you're interested in a more refreshing experience, look into shampoos and conditioners that have tea tree in them. They usually have like tea tree,peppermint,eucalyptus type ingredients that feel really nice and cleansing on the scalp. I duno if you have a trader joe's in your area, but they make a really good tea tree shampoo and conditioner, paul mitchell also has a really good tea tree line of products that you can look into. I would just be careful of anything clarifying if you're not using a good conditioner after, if you use a shampoo that is too aggressive in it's cleansing, your scalp will produce more oil to make up for everything you just cleansed off(kinda like your face does).

Paul Mitchel awapuhi the original works great to clean excess oil and don't put ANY product on your roots after you finish washing not even conditioner - condition your ends coz ur scalp produces enough natural oil to nourish the hair at the root so try not putting anything other than shampoo on your roots - works great for me :)

I had the same problem. My hair would build up a lot of product and also become really oily. I used Pantene Clarifying Shampoo and conditioner. :) You could maybe try that?
