Sebum Control Shampoo for Oily Hair: Controls Excess Oil Without Stripping the Hair
The most common mistake when dealing with oily hair is using harsh cleansing products. The more aggressively the scalp is stripped of its natural oils, the more sebum it is thought to produce to compensate, creating a vicious cycle. Nuggela & Sulé’s Sebum Control Shampoo takes a different approach: a frequent-use shampoo for oily hair that targets the underlying cause — excess sebum production — while providing a thorough yet gentle cleanse. This helps keep hair feeling freshly washed for longer without drying out the mid-lengths or ends.
HOW IT WORKS: SEBORREDUCTYL + SULPHUR FROM RED ONION
The formula combines two complementary actions. Seborreductyl, our specialised sebum-regulating active ingredient, helps normalise sebum production on the scalp. Red onion extract — a key ingredient throughout the Nuggela & Sulé range — provides sulphur, which has a purifying action against excess oil, as well as quercetin, which helps improve the appearance of the scalp by stimulating microcirculation. The intended result: roots that stay cleaner for longer, lighter-feeling hair and a scalp that becomes progressively more balanced with consistent use.
SEBUM CONTROL, ANTI-DANDRUFF OR Nº1 SHAMPOO? CHOOSE ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS
If your main concern is excess oil — with or without mild itching — the Sebum Control Shampoo is the right choice for you. If you also experience visible dandruff, the Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (formulated with piroctone olamine) is the more suitable option. If hair loss is your primary concern, the Nº1 Shampoo with Red Onion Extract is your go-to shampoo. It is also suitable for oily hair and can be complemented with the Anti-Hair Loss Ampoules. Not sure which one to choose? Start with the shampoo that addresses your main concern and use it consistently for at least one month.
WHO IS IT FOR AND HOW TO INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR HAIRCARE ROUTINE
This shampoo is suitable for men and women with oily scalps: roots that become greasy quickly, hair that looks dirty the day after washing, or excess sebum associated with hot weather, exercise or hormonal changes. As it is designed for frequent use, you can wash your hair as often as needed without worrying about drying it out. Recommended routine: Wash your hair twice with the Sebum Control Shampoo. Gently squeeze out excess water and apply the Hydrating Conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends only. If your ends are also dry or damaged, use the Tucuma Hair Mask once a week after rinsing out the conditioner, applying it from the mid-lengths to the ends.
As always with Nuggela & Sulé: a formula developed in a Spanish laboratory, paraben-free and not tested on animals. If excess oil is accompanied by severe flaking, persistent itching or suspected seborrhoeic dermatitis, consult a dermatologist. A cosmetic shampoo can support your haircare routine, but it is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis.
THE 3 STAR ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Seborreductyl — The specialised sebum-regulating active ingredient in this formula. Its role is to help normalise sebum production on the scalp, targeting the underlying cause of oily hair rather than simply addressing the symptoms. It contains components such as sulphopeptides and amino acids, which help regulate sebum secretion. It also contains B vitamins, which help inhibit lipogenesis, and allantoin, which moisturises, softens and soothes the skin.
Red Onion Extract — The red onion variety is particularly rich in quercetin. In this shampoo, sulphur plays the leading role, providing a purifying action against excess sebum. Quercetin also helps improve the appearance of the scalp by stimulating microcirculation. It is a key haircare ingredient throughout the Nuggela & Sulé range.
Marine Glycogen (Glycoenergizer Hair) — An active ingredient extracted from mollusc membranes, one of nature’s most powerful energy sources. It provides an extra boost of glycogen to help energise fragile, brittle hair. Glycogen supplies the energy needed for hair growth, particularly during the anagen (growth) phase.
HOW TO USE NUGGELA & SULÉ SHAMPOOS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
- Pour the product into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together until it emulsifies
- Apply to the hair and scalp, massaging evenly for a few minutes
- Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, then repeat the process a second time to enhance the results
BY FOLLOWING THESE STEPS: you can prepare and activate the shampoo’s ingredients in your hand. Then, you can evenly distribute the shampoo on your hair and scalp, which will create more lather and make it easier to massage your scalp.
*The first wash produces little lather due to its deep-cleansing effect while the second wash nourishes it.
TIP: Use it with Nuggela & Sulé’s Hydrating Conditioner applying it from the mid-lengths to the ends.
*Note: During the first month, we recommend avoiding alternating this shampoo with other shampoos so that you can properly assess its effects. You can subsequently alternate it with other shampoos from the Nuggela & Sulé range.

It gets rid of that greasy hair feeling after just a short time of using it.

My hair is very greasy, so I used to have to wash it every day. With this shampoo, I can now go up to three days between washes. It works brilliantly for me.
Oscar –
An extraordinary product, the best shampoo I’ve tried to date. It tackles greasy hair without damaging the scalp and can be used daily. It’s best to apply it once and rinse, then apply it a second time, leaving it on for a few minutes before rinsing again. It leaves hair shiny and light.
Julián –
Fabulous. In just three days, my 17-year-old daughter, who has greasy hair and was developing something thick and flaky that you couldn’t really call dandruff… but something more severe, has improved enormously. As a father, I want to say THANK YOU.

I’ve been using this shampoo for several months and I’m satisfied with it. The appearance of my hair has improved significantly, although it’s quite expensive.

It’s a bit expensive considering the size of the bottle, but it’s very good. After washing your hair with it for a few days, you start to notice that your hair becomes less greasy.
S. Torres –
It cleans thoroughly and removes excess grease. It transforms the appearance of your hair, leaving it soft and light, and helps improve hair density. Highly recommended.
Piluski –
Fabulous for greasy hair! It stays clean for much longer and doesn’t look flat! Volume, shine… I even need to apply a little conditioner to certain areas to balance out how effectively it controls the grease.

I buy it for my daughter, who has greasy hair, and now it’s the only shampoo she wants to use. Shine, new hair growth and longer-lasting cleanliness between washes.

I love it. It leaves my hair really clean and shiny, and it stays clean for longer, which is great because my hair is greasy.

It’s for my daughter. It’s the only shampoo she uses for greasy hair. Her hair stays clean for longer, and she’s noticed new hair growth, or at least that she’s losing less hair.

I use it all the time. It’s the best for greasy hair.

Ever since I tried it, I’ve stuck with it. I’ve tried so many shampoos, and this one is amazing when used consistently. I use it with the conditioner from the same brand. I’ve been using it for about 3 or 4 months now, and I’ve really noticed the difference. It regulates oiliness very well, and my hair doesn’t get greasy nearly as quickly.
Ruth Rodríguez Serred –
The first time you use it, your hair doesn’t look great, but after the second wash, it looks really good. It’s important to rinse it out thoroughly to leave your hair shiny.

I expected it to lather more. I’ve only just started using it, but so far I’ve noticed less hair loss.

It doesn’t work like a normal shampoo. It’s reeeeally thick, so it’s important to read the instructions, but it leaves your hair looking fantastic. I’ve also tried the regular shampoo, and they’re both brilliant.

So far, so good. I’ve only been using it for a short time.

It leaves my hair clean and shiny. I’ve only used it twice so far, but I’m liking it.

The best shampoo I’ve ever tried. I’d been washing my hair every day for eight years because it was so greasy. When the shampoo arrived, I started washing it every other day. After ten days, I was able to wash it once every three days, and it’s been brilliant. My hair always looks clean. I recommend it 100%.

It does what it promises. My hair has noticeably improved.

This shampoo is amazing. I tried the anti-hair loss shampoo from the same brand before switching to this one, and it certainly hasn’t disappointed. It’s exactly what I expected. It leaves my hair light, grease-free and really shiny.
María Jorge –
I originally tried it out of curiosity after reading the reviews, and I can honestly say my hair looks better than ever. As for controlling grease, it’s nothing extraordinary, although it does work better than the regular shampoo. I’ve been using it for almost a year now, and my hair is healthier, thicker-looking, shinier and has more volume. I’m delighted.

Very good. It’s brilliant for greasy hair and keeps it clean for longer.

I’d never tried it before, but even after three days, my hair still looks clean, without that greasy shine or feeling weighed down. It’s light and soft. It’s definitely worth the money.

My hair has always become greasy very quickly, but with this shampoo, my scalp feels much cleaner and more balanced. What’s more, it doesn’t leave my hair feeling rough like other products do. I’m hooked!

It’s the king of shampoos: it stops hair loss, gets rid of grease, relieves itching, smells lovely (a sweet scent, a bit like Coca-Cola) and boosts hair growth to an astonishing degree. I’ve noticed lots of tiny new strands growing all over my head, especially near my hairline. I’ve lost count of how many bottles I’ve used because I wouldn’t swap this wonderful shampoo for anything else. On top of that, it’s a Spanish brand, so I couldn’t ask for more. Using it alongside Minoxidil has stopped my hair from falling out again, and I’ve been able to grow it really long, which is a huge achievement for me.
Mari Trini U. –
It’s very good. It leaves my hair incredibly clean, and it takes much longer for it to become greasy again.
María O. –
It’s brilliant for controlling greasy hair. I can’t yet say whether it promotes hair growth as well as the regular shampoo, but so far I’m very happy with the results.
Elena C. –
I absolutely love it. I have greasy hair, and since I started using it, I’ve noticed an improvement and less hair loss.

It has a pleasant smell and a really nice texture. I’m still waiting to see the full results, but my first few washes have been fantastic.
Victoria –
I haven’t noticed much of a difference yet, but I still really like it. It’s definitely better than other shampoos I’ve tried.
Jana Amigó –
Apart from pharmacy shampoos, this is the first shampoo for greasy roots that actually works. It doesn’t dry out my scalp, and it even leaves the lengths of my hair feeling softer. This shampoo, together with the hydrating conditioner from the same brand, is a wonderful combination for those of us who struggle with excessive sebum production but don’t want to give up using conditioner.

It does exactly what it promises.

It smells lovely, and you notice the difference as soon as you start using it.
Laura Cifuentes Polo –
We’ve only been using it for ten days, and we’re already noticing a difference! My daughter has very greasy hair due to seborrhoeic dermatitis, and the pharmacy shampoos prescribed by her dermatologist haven’t made any difference. With this one, it seems her hair is now staying clean for two days, which would have been unthinkable before! Brilliant!
Antonio M. S. –
An excellent shampoo for those of us with greasy hair. It also has a lovely fresh fragrance that lasts. It doesn’t irritate my scalp; quite the opposite, it actually feels more soothed. I’m delighted!
Juan –
I have greasy hair, which is why I bought this shampoo. I’m already on my second bottle, and I’m very happy with it. I used to wash my hair every day, but since I started using this shampoo, I can now go a couple of days between washes. A small amount produces plenty of lather. I recommend it.
Rubén –
It’s an effective shampoo, and I like it. With regular use, it does a good job of keeping my hair grease-free, and my scalp doesn’t itch.
I’m happy with the results, but not quite so happy with the price.
