Editor's Summary
I was really hoping Dercos' 'Regulating' shampoo for oily hair would be the game-changer my locks needed. Unfortunately, it's been a total letdown. After using it for a week, I found my oily hair got worse, not better. The shampoo's supposed to regulate oil production, but it clearly didn't work for me. I'm not sure what the fuss is about, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with oily hair. It's just not worth the money, especially considering the small bottle size. I'm sticking with my trusty old shampoo, thanks. I've tried it for a week, and the results are pretty disappointing. My hair feels greasier than usual, and it's hard to comb through. The small bottle size is a total rip-off, and the packaging is just okay. I'm not impressed with this shampoo, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with oily hair.

I was hoping it would keep my hair fresh, make it look healthy and manageable all the way down. And what I got was... well, let's dive into the review and see.

Vichy Dercos Technique "Regulating" Shampoo for Oily Hair Foam creation is great.
Vichy Dercos Technique "Regulating" Shampoo for Oily HairI was surprised by how easily the shampoo lathers up. Just a few squeezes and you get a thick, dense foam.When I washed my hair, I felt a sense of comfort on my scalp. No itchiness, no burning, no prickling sensations, despite it being a deep-cleansing shampoo. It didn't trigger any allergic reactions or lead to unpleasant consequences like dandruff.
Vichy Dercos Technique "Regulating" Shampoo for Oily HairFor me, the rinse-off was a bit of a problem. No matter how much water I used, I could still feel a residue on my hair and it didn't look fully clean. Plus, it lost all its natural shine and became super dull.And don't even get me started on combing my hair. It just got all tangled up and my comb would get stuck from the middle of my hair down.
The Verdict:
My hair: straight, toned, damaged. Oily at the roots, dry at the ends.Vichy claims this shampoo is seboregulating, which means it's supposed to deeply clean my scalp and prevent oil buildup. My hair's oily at the roots, so I need a good cleanse to keep it under control.
I usually wash my hair every other day, but with this shampoo, I'm not sure if that's enough. The lack of volume and the oily feel after just one day make me wonder if it's really doing its job.
The first thing that bugged me was the lack of fresh, fluffy hair after drying. No root lift, no matter how much I tried.
Vichy Dercos Technique "Regulating" Shampoo for Oily HairMy roots looked okay, but I could feel the oil starting to seep through by the end of the day.

Vichy, are you seboregulating or just making a mess of my hair? I'm starting to look like a homeless person with this mess on my head.And it doesn't get any better with time. No cumulative seboregulating effect to be seen.
I've gotta say, this shampoo is a total letdown when it comes to keeping my hair fresh.
It dries out my hair like crazy! No, it's worse than that - it brutally dries out my hair.
My ends look like straw, and I'm not even kidding, my ends.
My entire hair length looks dull, dry, and lifeless.
