Oily Scalp, Dry Ends? Here’s the Fix You’ve Been Waiting For

Oily Scalp, Dry Ends? Here’s the Fix You’ve Been Waiting For

By Hyde Salon

Are your roots slick and greasy while your ends feel dry and straw-like—even on the same day? You're definitely not alone. This contradictory hair condition plagues many of our clients, no matter how often they shampoo or how premium their products claim to be.

At Hyde Salon, we believe in cutting through the noise. Forget the gimmicks—here’s what’s really happening to your hair and what you can actually do to fix it.

Step 1: Conquer the Oily Scalp — Start with the Right Cleanse

The root of your greasy roots (pun intended) isn’t just overactive oil glands. It’s likely product buildup and an ineffective wash routine.

What You Really Need:

  • A salon-grade shampoo that purifies without over-stripping

  • A technique that targets your scalp, not just your hair

Our Go-To Cleansers:

  • Shibui Everydayness Shampoo
    No frills, no residue—just a powerful, balanced clean that resets the scalp without heaviness.

  • Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo
    A cult favorite for good reason. The tingle of tea tree, peppermint, and lavender refreshes and purifies, making it ideal for oily roots.

Hyde Salon Wash Technique:

  1. Apply directly to your scalp, not your hands. Your hair should be fully saturated.

  2. Section your hair and press shampoo into your roots, zone by zone.

  3. Massage for at least 60 seconds with your fingertips (not nails!).

  4. Double cleanse—the first round removes surface oil, the second goes deeper. Use less shampoo the second time.

Step 2: Hydrate Your Dry Ends — It’s All About Retention

The ends of your hair can’t hold moisture if the cuticle is damaged. Hydration isn’t just about adding water—it’s about sealing it in.

Our Hydration Heroes:

  • Shibui Ultra Hydrating Conditioner
    Deeply nourishing and replenishing—perfect for compromised hair.

  • Lakme Lak-2 Instant Hair Conditioner
    A leave-in miracle for mid-lengths to ends. Repairs, softens, and adds shine instantly.

Lock in the Moisture:

  • Shibui Leave-In Conditioner
    Apply immediately post-shower to seal in hydration and shield against frizz. Your ends will thank you.

Hidden Offenders You Might Be Overlooking

  • Your hairbrush could be sabotaging your clean hair. If you haven’t washed it lately, it’s likely redistributing oil and debris. Use warm water and shampoo weekly.

  • Overuse of styling products. Mousse, waxes, and hairsprays can leave behind layers of buildup that cause both oiliness and dryness. Strip back your routine and reintroduce products slowly.

The Hyde Haircare Trinity:

Shampoo. Leave-In. Oil.
Skip the 12-step programs. A streamlined, effective regimen works better:

  • A clarifying, scalp-focused shampoo

  • A light, nourishing leave-in

  • A finishing oil to protect and polish the ends

You’ll find all three at Hyde Salon, with expert advice tailored to your unique hair goals.
