The Serene Scalp Oil Control range uses a three-pronged approach to help with excessive oil production as well as soothe irritated scalps.
As someone who gets greasy hair literally a day and a half after washing it (I also tend to touch my hair 1000 times a day) as well as the occasional flaking, I was very excited the Oribe Serene Scalp Oil Control range landed in my hands to trial.
Dreamy packaging aside, I was keen to try this three-step range that targets oily roots like mine, helps to balance the scalp’s microbiome (yes it’s a thing, just like your face/skin microbiome) AND promises to extend time between washes.
This all sounds like music to my ears but what did the products feel like worked through my hair?
While it did help with refreshing my oily mane, it also did something else I didn’t expect.
Let’s find out more...
What Is the Serene Scalp Oil Control Collection?
An extension of their existing scalp collection (the ones in the pretty pastel pink packaging), the Serene Scalp Oil Control collection is as the brand describes it, where luxury meets science.
Specifically formulated to reduce excess oil and sebum, it aims to balance the scalp’s delicate microbiome which is often the reason behind your greasy tresses!
The three-step regimen consists of a scalp-mattifying mist, a purifying shampoo and a fast-absorbing dry shampoo.
Housed in beautiful, dusty lavender packaging, this range won’t just look beautiful in your bathroom, it’s also here to help oilier hair friends extend their style between washes.
The Serene Scalp Oil Collection is formulated with Oribe’s Biome Balancing Complex that contains key ingredients like rosebay extract (helps rebalance scalp microflora, decrease sebum production and soothe scalp irritation) and green marine algae.
In a consumer panel of 101 women who used the shampoo and mist, 90% saw a noticeable reduction in oiliness of the hair and scalp.
If I can get the same result from this range over time, I’m going to be a very happy gal.

My Oribe Serene Scalp Oil Control Treatment Mist review:
When I first spritzed this through different sections of my scalp (and on my damp hair) I was expecting it to dry down sticky and for my hair to feel gritty/chalky after blow-drying because I’ve had this experience before.
Thankfully, there was no stickiness!
It absorbed quite quickly into my strands and left them feeling slightly silkier.
The sheer, lightweight formula didn’t weigh my hair down either.
I’m just really happy to be incorporating a scalp mist designed specifically for oily hair like mine into my hair routine.
I also think this mist was partly responsible for something else I didn't expect, which you’ll have to keep scrolling to my final verdict to find out.
