I finally stopped washing my hair every day after my stylist at Great Clips in Tampa gave me a reality check
For years I lathered up twice a day because I thought greasy hair meant dirty hair, and my scalp was flaking and itchy by month two. My stylist looked at my roots and said "you're stripping every oil your scalp makes, so it's overproducing to keep up." Now I wash every third day with a sulfate free shampoo and my scalp finally calmed down, but how do you handle the greasy day two phase without dry shampoo making it worse?
