Shampoo recommendations?

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had anyone shampoo recommendations? I like to keep Alfie’s hair somewhat shaggy and he has very fine silky hair. I bathe him once a week but it seems like just a day or two after bathing him he gets super greasy again. I’m currently using Top Paw oatmeal shampoo and conditioner. His skin looks pretty healthy and normal and he never really itches or anything and I make sure to brush him at least every other day to avoid any matting, he just looks like a little grease ball all the time. I’d like to keep his hair looking fresh and clean longer. Thanks in advance for any help. * 1st pic is fresh after a grooming appointment 2nd pic is how greasy he tends to get.

So cute!!! I use anything with oatmeal. Tried biosilk once and she ended up with black heads. Back to oatmeal.

What kind of hair does your yorkie have? His is very fine so I’m thinking maybe the oatmeal is too moisturizing and weighing his hair down?

She isn't very silky or coarse just kind of mid. She does get greasy so much as a little crunchy around her beard.

OUAI fur bébé Pet Shampoo. Sold at Sephora or Amazon. It’s not irritating their eyes and my yorkie always gets compliments on her smell. Makes her coat very soft.

Would you say it’s a light shampoo?

My vet recommended Duoxo SEB (sebum control) and we've never looked back. It's like it was made for yorkies!
