Tired of Greasy Hair? Restore Balance with The Problem Solver

Why Is Your Hair So Greasy?

Greasy hair is usually the result of your scalp overproducing sebum – a natural oil meant to hydrate and protect. But when your scalp’s oil glands (sebaceous glands) go into overdrive, the result is limp, oily roots and a never-ending wash cycle.

Oily hair can affect anyone. It’s not just a “fine hair” issue. Whether your strands are curly, coily, straight, thick, dry, or coloured—your roots might still be sending SOS signals in the form of excess oil.

What triggers this?

  • Harsh shampoos that strip your scalp → it panics and makes more oil

  • Hormonal shifts and genetics → naturally oilier scalps

  • Conventional conditioners and styling products → clog the scalp and trap oil

  • Environmental stressors like heat, humidity, and pollution

  • Skipping proper scalp care like oil balancing rituals 

The Problem with Conventional Shampoo

Most shampoos contain sulfates and detergents (like SLS) designed to foam and strip. But that squeaky-clean feeling? It’s your scalp being thrown out of balance. When stripped of its natural oils, it overcompensates by producing even more sebum.

Cue the endless wash-and-grease cycle.


✨ Enter the Hair Cleanser: The Scalp Rebalancing Hero

This is not a shampoo. It’s a multi-award-winning, Soil Association-certified organic Hair Cleanser that works with your body, not against it.

  • Non-foaming: no harsh detergents or surfactants

  • Oil-balancing: resets your scalp’s sebum production

  • Moisture-replenishing: nourishes without residue

  • Aromatherapeutic: available in Amber Rose or Golden Citrus scent

🔬 How It Works: The Science of Rebalancing Sebum

Your scalp’s sebaceous glands produce oil based on signals from your skin’s acid mantle – a protective layer of natural oils, sweat, and skin flora.

Most shampoos disrupt this mantle, sending your glands into overdrive.

The Hair Cleanser respects it.

Its gentle, pH-balanced formula supports the acid mantle and:

  • Cleans without stripping – Soap Bark is a natural saponin that lifts oil and debris without disturbing sebum balance.

  • Soothes the scalp – Aloe Vera and Oat Milk are anti-inflammatory and reduce the irritation that triggers oil overproduction.

  • Hydrates smartly – Oils like Coconut, Argan, and Rosehip provide lightweight moisture that signals to your glands: “We’re good – no need to pump out more oil.”

Over time, your scalp relearns how to regulate itself. Less grease. More calm. A longer-lasting clean.

Tabitha’s Top Tip 💡 'You can use the Organic Hair Cleanser as often as you like. It won’t strip your scalp — it re-trains it. Washing more frequently at first helps kickstart the rebalancing process. Just give it time — real change takes a few weeks, sometimes months. Stick with it, and your scalp will find its natural rhythm.'

✨ Dry Hair? Use a Pre-wash Treatment 

If you have fine and oily hair, use the Scented Organic Hair Oil for Fine & Oily hair types, as a pre-wash treatment before cleansing. Made with a curated blend of lightweight, certified organic oils, it mimics the natural oils your scalp produces — but in a calm, measured way.

When applied to the scalp, this oil sends a powerful message:

❝You’re nourished. You’re moisturised. You don’t need to create more oil.❞

It reconditions the scalp and breaks the pattern of overproduction by:

- Hydrating at the source, so the scalp doesn't panic
- Restoring the acid mantle, the protective layer that keeps your skin and follicles calm
- Neutralising inflammation or irritation, which can drive excess oil as a defense response
- Feeding the scalp with plant-based nutrients, so it can function as nature intended

Got Dry Ends with Oily Roots? Here’s the Adjust

Oily roots + dry lengths is one of the most common challenges we see.
So we created a tailored solution:

Apply our Fine & Oily Hair Oil to the scalp — to calm and reset sebum production.
Apply our Curly & Dry Hair Oil to mid-lengths and ends — to nourish and seal.
🛁 Leave on for 30 minutes or overnight.
💧 Wash out with the Hair Cleanser. 

You’ll notice the change. Not overnight. But over time.
And as your scalp returns to balance, you’ll use less product, less often.
That’s the beauty of the ritual.
It trains your body back into its own rhythm.

Bottom line? This ritual is a retraining program for your scalp, rooted in nature and backed by science.

No stripping. No overcompensating. Just balanced, beautiful hair – the way nature intended.
