I'm in need of some hair advice. I'm looking for a shampoo and conditioner for my confused hair. Its fine, but there's a lot of it, my scalp and roots get oily after about 36 hours (i'm an every other day washer, generally, but sometimes everyday) and have moderately dry ends. I don't color, so thats not an issue. Halp, please. TIA!

What products are you using? 

I'm a little confused, are you wanting to hydrate your ends and minimize the oil on your scalp? Oil is not bad, you can use a boar brush, and brush your hair root to ends, to evenly distribute the oils. & use a dry shampoo to minimize the shine.

Basically, yes. I'm on the hunt for something that wont weigh my hair down, but still moisturizes where I need it. I am currently using Redken All Soft shampoo and conditioner (only apply conditioner from neck down), use an apple cider vinegar rinse 1-2 times/week and do an overnight mask with plain coconut oil about twice a month. As far as styling products, I use Redken Satinwear and a Garnier mousse before I blowdry, and finish off with Redken Outshine if I need some extra smoothing. I only use a flatiron about once a week if my pseudo-waves are unruly. Dry shampoo/baby powder/cornstarch etc totally gross me out. :-/

Sorry about the lack of paragraphs; I'm posting from my phone.

Ahh, now I understand. 

Do you like the Redken all soft? Redken is a good line, but for someone who has fine hair, I would think soft hair would be the opposite of what they want (fly aways).

For the oily scalp, MorroccanOil has a new treatment called Oil No More. You massage a few drops into the scalp & it will regulate thesebaceous glands from over producing oil. The benefit of this, is its not a shampoo, therefor your ends will not be "dried out" like many other products will.

 I have fine hair, and its really over processed so somewhat dry. I use Kevin Murphy's Angel shampoo & conditioner. It is very light weight, and meant for fine hair.  Plus its moisturizing.

 

For added moisture on the ends. I recommend either MoroccanOil, or Lanza Healing Touch serums. Both are amazing, however I feel that the MO weighs hair down a bit. Versus the Lanza which you can pile on (like I do) and it will not weigh down., or get greasy.  

& why do you not line dry shampoo? Have you tried it in a non powder form, but spray? Who puts corn starch in their hair btw?

I like the products you are using, minus the Garnier...I chose to ignore that one!  Mousse proucts can be very drying. They have alcohol and butane in them. Those are very drying ingredients.  Are you looking for volume, or control in the mousse?

 Sorry for the typos and run on sentences. My fingers think quicker then my brain & my phone does not allow corrections. Lol.

I do like the All Soft, but it seems to weigh my hair down from my ears up. I dont really have a problem with flyaways. How does soft hair lead to flyaways? Seems like it would be the opposite. I do the mousse for volume. I only put it on my crown (use about a ping pong ball sized amount) then blowdry with a round brush. I have tried both powder and spray dry shampoo and am not a fan. Sometimes i'll use it on clean hair at the roots for a volume boost, but the feel of it on not clean hair totally icks me out. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I will definitely check them out!

Fly aways can be attributed to many things. Sometimes it breakage, sometimes its that the hair isnt heavy enough to lay down. Ive heard from a few people that have used all soft, that their hair is so lightweight it kind of flys away. That obviously isnt your problem, lol, dont ask me why I said that to begin with. *digs hole*

 

If youre interested in getting products I'm happy to get them for you at my wholesale / industry discount price. :-)
