Try not to be too hard on it. Overzealous shampoos may initially rid you of the gulf of oil, but they can also stimulate your sclap into compensating for its losses by pumping out even more, creating a vicious circle.

If you have to wash your hair daily, use a small amount of a mild shampoo, followed by an oil-free conditioner. Dry shampoos help to absorb oil in between shampoos. Avoid scalp stimulation through over-brushing, and cut down on fatty foods like butter, cheese, fried foods and meats.
