Best Shampoo for Oily Hair in Malaysia That Will Take Care of All That Grease

Want the best shampoo for oily hair in Malaysia? For those of us that struggle with a greasy scalp and oily hair, it may feel like an endless struggle. But, know that sebum or oil on your scalp is a natural phenomenon. Hair roots come with sebaceous glands that produce oil or sebum to continuously nourish the scalp. It is when these sebaceous glands go into an over-reactive mode, that you get excess sebum - which leads to oily hair, dandruff, and even hair loss. The reason behind your excess sebum production could be your hormones, humidity, diet, or even your genetic inclination. 

Take heart, as there are plenty of products that can help. Today we round up some of the best shampoos for oily hair in Malaysia, that will keep your hair light, airy, and full of volume.

SMIB Coral Calcium Shampoo

This clogs pores on your scalp, leading to issues such as dandruff, itchiness, and even hair loss.
