Oily Scalp, Dry Ends? Here’s the Fix You Actually Need

Struggling with greasy roots and dry, brittle ends—sometimes all at once? You’re definitely not alone. Despite what countless shampoo labels promise, those same hair issues always seem to return. The real reason? A lot of hair care advice is just clever marketing in disguise.

Let’s cut through the noise. Here’s what’s really going on—and how to fix it using smart techniques and salon-approved products from the pros at Hair Dynamics in Fort Lee, NJ.
Step 1: Oily Scalp? Fix It at the Root (Literally)

The key isn’t fancy ingredients—it’s using the right shampoo and applying it the right way.

Start with:

    A professional shampoo that cleanses without buildup

    A technique that targets your scalp (not just your hair)

Try these:

    Shibui Everydayness Shampoo – Clean, simple, and free of heavy residues

    Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Shampoo – Tea tree, peppermint, and lavender for a deep, refreshing cleanse

How to wash properly:

    Skip lathering in your hands—apply shampoo directly to your soaking wet scalp

    Part your hair and press shampoo into key areas

    Use fingertips (not nails!) to scrub for at least 60 seconds

    Always double-cleanse: the first round removes surface oil, the second gets deeper (use less the second time)

Step 2: Dry Ends? It’s a Moisture Retention Issue

If your ends feel straw-like, it’s not because they’re not getting moisture—it’s because they’re not holding onto it. Damaged cuticles leak hydration.

What helps:

    Shibui Ultra Hydrating Conditioner – Deep nourishment that repairs from within

    Lakme Lak-2 Instant Hair Conditioner – Softens, strengthens, and smooths damaged mid-lengths and ends

Then seal it in while your hair is wet:

    Shibui Leave-In Conditioner – Locks in hydration and helps prevent frizz before it starts

Bonus: Sneaky Things Sabotaging Your Hair

    Dirty brushes reapply grease and buildup—wash them weekly with shampoo and warm water

    Product overload (think mousse, wax, or hairspray) can weigh your hair down and clog your scalp. Try eliminating one at a time to find the culprit

Simplify with the Haircare Trinity: Shampoo. Leave-In. Oil.

Forget the 10-step routine. All you really need is:

✅ A high-quality shampoo
✅ A lightweight leave-in conditioner
✅ A nourishing oil for your ends

And yes—you can grab all three from Hair Dynamics in Fort Lee, NJ, either in-store or online.
