Getting oily scalp treatments can make all the difference if your scalp constantly feels greasy, especially in Singapore’s humid weather. While a bit of oil is healthy and helps protect your scalp, excessive buildup may point to deeper issues.
From genetics and skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis to over-washing or using harsh products, there are many reasons why your scalp may be producing too much oil.

So, what can we do to treat scalp oiliness? With home remedies being largely anecdotal with no proven effectiveness, the only viable solution left is professional treatments in hair salons and hair care centres that specifically target oily scalp.
Ahead, 8 of the top professional oily scalp treatments that you can consider trying instead of unscientific home remedies.

Covo Hair Salon 4.9/5 stars on Google!
The Scalp Deep Cleansing Spa treatment is a favourite for its soothing yet effective approach. A scalp gel infused with cherry leaf and red wine yeast extracts is applied to remove impurities, moisturise the scalp, and reduce redness.
It’s then worked in with Japanese-style massage techniques that last under 10 minutes, but feel so good, you’ll wish they lasted longer.
