      Slowly cut down over the span of a month or two. I used to be the same and now i rarely wash my hair, I just rinse it often and it stays nice (nicer than it ever was before).

          Eventually your scalp starts regulating oil production properly and you don’t end up with greasy hair the very next day.

          The greasiness is a reaction of your scalp to the amount of detergent it gets. I almost never shampoo, I just wash with warm water every other day… after a little while my body stopped overreacting and my hair wasn’t as greasy anymore. I even add a teaspoon or two of coconut oil after the occasional shampoo, so that my hair doesn’t dry up.

      Mine was worse when it was shorter and I washed it daily, but as I grew it out so the bother of washing grew. But somehow it didn’t get greasy. But - I still use that as a gauge, if I spend too much time in the climbing gym or in the woods it tends to get greasier faster so I’ll wash it more often.

      I think if you actually saw the people typing these comments, you’d read their words very differently. Ask like anyone attractive or with healthy hair irl on how much they shampoo.

        There seems to be a lot of anti shampoo bias in these comments. I’m not sure what you are trying to get at but I’ll have you know my mother once said I had great hair.

        I always get compliments by hairdressers on how healthy my hair is and I don’t really do much (or know what to do, admitting my ignorance on the matter).

        However I’m not anti/shampoo or anything I just shampoo by need instead of by habit
