My hair looks greasy after use. I rinsed thoroughly but after my hair dried I had to rinse it again! What am I doing wrong?

Depending on your hair type, I am sure it could take a few try's to find out how many pumps you need. I have very short hair but my hair is very porous. I use about 5 pumps. I make sure to let it sit in my hair throughout my shower and rinse my hair at the end of the shower. I know too that hair can range from porous to oily, or dry to normal and everyone's hair is going to be different. This shampoo is a god-send to me as I have a terrible time with other shampoos. I'd experiment, give it a chance to wash out any old products, let your hair get used to and then either it will come together and you will love (my hair loves this stuff) it or it might not be for all hair types.

When washing your hair with the cleansing conditioner, make sure you really rub it into every inch of your hair (especially in spots where it's really greasy). I have chest-length, thick hair and use a LOT (about 8-10 pumps) so make sure you're using enough. I sometimes use a comb to make sure all of my hair is covered with the cleansing conditioner and I also let it sit for several minutes before rinsing rather than just a few minutes like the bottle says. Also, when my hair is really, really greasy/has a lot of product in it, I generally use a regular, non-sulfate shampoo to make sure my hair gets really clean. I've found the cleansing conditioner is great 4-5 days/week but I often use my regular shampoo 2-3 days/week to really wash it.

What I find works best is to make sure your hair is really, really wet when you apply. I have chin length hair and I use 3-4 pumps and really work it into my scalp. Try to massage your scalp like they do in the salon then comb it through. I put it in a clip and rinse with cold water at the end of my shower. (I wash my hair first) Make sure you rinse it really well to avoid grease hair. It also takes your hair about a week to get used to not using shampoo. After that you should be good to go. My #1 tip is rinse with cold water. Hot water opens the cuticle layer of your hair so the product stays even if you rinse really well. When you rinse in cold it closes the cuticle and adds shine What I find works best is to make sure your hair is really, really wet when you apply.

It works amazing for me but you do definitely have to rinse it out thoroughly. It has never made my hair greasy looking or feeling so maybe try using a little less? Also I only use styling products on my ends. Hope this helps :)

You might not be using enough product. You should use enough to have it thoroughly worked through your hair down to the roots, let it sit for a few minutes after massaging it in really well, then rinse thoroughly. Short hair should use around 3-4 pumps, then of course more for longer. My hair is halfway down my back and I use about 6-7 pumps.

It's hard to determine without knowing anything about your hair. I rinse my hair very well before I apply the product. I focus most of my cleansing on my scalp; the excess runs down the strands of my hair. Once my scalp is done, I then finger-comb the product through the strands and rinse very well. I then re-apply, add a bit of water to get the product smooshy, then I comb (with a comb) through. This takes at least 7 minutes, then the final rinse. My hair is long, so I use a plentiful amount. I would try using more, concentrate product on the scalp, wash your hair twice, rinsing thoroughly before and after. It's hard to determine without knowing anything about your hair.

I personally would wash it out after. It gets incredibly greasy and your hair starts to tingle after a while. I'm not sure about using it as a deep oil treatment but I strongly recommend washing it out once you're done.

I didn't pre rinse mine wasn't shiny. It's like washing that type of hair the silky synthetic hair it probably will frizz

It did not dry out my hair. If anything, if you are not careful and use too much, it will make your hair greasy.

LOL, Yes I can help you, after you wash your hair use the smallest amount put through your hair, wait a few minutes and rinse, try to leave a little in and blow dry , this is amazing stuff espically for color treated hair or difficult hair (like mine) I LOVE this stuff!

I shampoo normally. And then I left it in for a couple minutes while showering. Then rinsed. Hope it helps!

I never actually have done that, but I would suggest spraying it on your hair after drying, comb through, let it sit for a minute and then use your straightener. I think if you use it right away when your hair is damp from the spray, it may cause it to look oily and flat. So it depends on your needs and look you're going for.

I just use the shampoo and get decent results. But then again, my hair is extremely dry to the point where I have to shampoo with this product twice in the same shower session before feeling like my hair is moisturized 'enough'.

When you wash your hair with this, you'll want to lather it for a minute or less and then rinse. If you wash with it more than twice, it will dry your hair out. You'll also want to use a moisturizing conditioner.

I have put conditioner on my hair in the morning because I thought it would stop the frizz. I put too much and it made my hair oily. I had time that morning to rewash my hair, and I used a tiny amount before blow drying. That worked very well for me.

I find this shampoo does not make your hair oily. The conditioner is excellent for dry ends--focus the conditioner to the dry areas of your hair.

after you apply the shampoo, wet your hair down again and the shampoo will lather. It will not lather as much as other shampoos, but it also does not dry your hair out.

The answers already given are spot on. Best to rinse with mild soap and warm water and let is hair dry.

Denise, I only washed my hair twice a week, but had to stop using it due to buildup that made my hair feel like hay. I may try it again and just swap out every other wash with a different shampoo. I really did like the shampoo and conditioner, just discontinued due to the buildup.

I apply just a few drops to my damp hair just before I blowdry. If you use too much, your hair will look greasy. Just rub a few drops of oil through your damp hair before your blow dry and style. It leaves your hair so soft! Good luck! :)

I put this on my hair immediately after I wash my hair and then I let my hair air dry. It keeps frizz down and helps my natural curl look decent. If you use too much, it makes your hair feel greasy, so you have to experiment to find the perfect amount for your hair.

It FRIED when I straightened it. And I straightened It on the lowest lowest heat. I looked like dead hair after I straightened it. And brushing gently or not d u didn't matter it just made it a little Poofy after you brushed it
