If you have oily scalp here are a few recommendations:

2. Use products with coal tar such as Tgel, salycilic acid such as Tsal, selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione. These are some of the most common ingredients, but there are others.
3. If you have dandruff, you can also add a shampoo with ketoconazole an antifungal.
4. Don’t use very hot water to wash your scalp use warm water.
5. Don’t use hair conditioners other than at the ends of the hair because of the oil that they contain.

7. Try to change the shampoos that you use even if they are for oily scalp. The skin gets used to them after a while.
