3. Don't shampoo every day    

If you wash your hair everyday, you strip your scalp. Your scalp would become too dry and start producing oil to protect your scalp and hair. The more you wash, you would feel more oily. So if you wash everyday, try to do it every other day. If you've done every other day, then try to do every two or three days. You probably would say "But my hair would get oily if I don't wash it". I know. Therefore, I want you to do is to balance your scalp oil. Try to do oily scalp treatment once a week.
