Oily scalp isn't simply a cosmetic problem — it's a sign that the sebaceous activity, the scalp microbiome and the barrier function are out of balance. Greasy roots, hair that looks flat shortly after washing and a recurring "dirty roots" sensation are the typical visible symptoms.
This category brings together SIMONE TRICHOLOGY's clinical line for oily and seborrhoea-prone scalps: trichology-grade formulations designed to normalise sebum production, purify the follicle and restore the scalp's biobalance — without stripping the skin or triggering a rebound effect.
Each treatment combines sebum-regulating actives with controlled-release technology, supporting cleaner, lighter and more lifted roots for longer without compromising the scalp ecosystem.
Effective sebum control doesn't mean stripping the scalp — it means working with the skin's natural rebalancing mechanisms. SIMONE TRICHOLOGY's seborrhoea protocols are designed to normalise sebaceous output, refine surface turnover and respect the microbiome through three complementary paths: sebum regulation, gentle purification and barrier support.
The formulas combine TFD™ biomimetic exosomes for follicular delivery with azelaic acid, AHA/PHA exfoliating actives and B-vitamin complexes — a clinical alternative to the aggressive surfactants and astringents that drive the rebound effect typical of conventional oily-hair shampoos.
The result is a system that can be used as an intensive routine when greasy roots and heaviness are present, and as a long-term maintenance protocol to keep recurrence under control without drying or sensitising the scalp.
This category is designed for anyone who notices that their scalp produces more oil than it should — beyond what a regular shampoo can manage. It may be right for you if you notice: hair that looks greasy and flat within hours of washing; a persistent sensation of heaviness or "dirty roots"; the need to use dry shampoo frequently or wash more often than feels comfortable; or a scalp that reacts to aggressive degreasing shampoos with dryness, irritation or a worse oil rebound the next day.
It also works well as a long-term maintenance routine to keep sebum balanced between professional treatments, or as a complement to other SIMONE TRICHOLOGY protocols for users with mixed concerns such as oily scalp combined with thinning hair or recurrent dandruff.

Seborrheic Control & Scalp Biobalance
What sets SIMONE TRICHOLOGY apart is method. Our seborrhoea formulations are not built around the most aggressive degreaser available but around what the scalp actually needs to rebalance.
Instead of stripping the scalp, our protocols use sebum-regulating actives, gentle chemical exfoliation and microbiome-conscious botanicals to interrupt the oil-rebound cycle without compromising the barrier or causing reactive dryness.
TFD™ biomimetic exosomes are SIMONE TRICHOLOGY's most advanced delivery technology. They are laboratory-developed to mimic the natural signals follicles use to renew themselves, helping concentrate sebum-regulating actives exactly where the scalp ecosystem needs them.
This is the technology behind our Exosome Line — and a key reason our oily-scalp treatments deliver consistent results without the dryness, irritation or rebound effect typical of conventional anti-grease shampoos.

Excess sebum can have multiple drivers: genetics, hormonal patterns, stress, diet, climate or even the wrong type of shampoo. Aggressive degreasing shampoos often make the problem worse because the scalp compensates by producing even more sebum — the so-called rebound effect. SIMONE TRICHOLOGY's approach focuses on normalising sebaceous activity rather than suppressing it, which leads to more sustainable balance over time.
Not necessarily — daily washing isn't the cause of oily scalp, but the type of shampoo used is. A gentle, well-formulated daily shampoo doesn't increase sebum production. What does provoke it is harsh detergents that strip the scalp barrier and trigger compensatory oil production. Our Sebum Control Shampoo Plus is designed to be tolerable enough for daily use without overstripping, helping reduce the wash-frequency anxiety many oily-scalp users experience.
Oily scalp refers to excess sebum produced at the roots, while oily hair often results from that sebum migrating down the hair shaft. People with very fine or straight hair tend to look greasier sooner because the sebum spreads faster. People with curly or coarse hair often have oily roots but dry lengths. SIMONE TRICHOLOGY's Seborrheic Control line targets the source — sebum production at the scalp — which is the only sustainable way to address both symptoms.
Yes. Oily scalp often coexists with other concerns such as oily dandruff, scalp sensitivity or thinning hair. Our Seborrheic Control line is compatible with the Clinical Dandruff & Microbiome Care and Clinical Balding & Hair Regeneration lines and can be alternated or combined within a coherent protocol. If you're not sure how to combine them, the free online Hair Clinic can suggest a personalised routine based on your specific case.
Most users notice an immediate sense of cleaner, lighter roots after the first few washes. The structural rebalancing of sebum production takes longer — typically 4–8 weeks of consistent use — because the sebaceous glands need time to adjust to a non-stripping routine. For long-standing oily scalp patterns, expect 8–12 weeks for stable, lasting improvement, then ongoing maintenance to prevent recurrence.
