I only shampoo once with not alot of Aveda shampoo, which now lasts a long time and then use conditioner. I use a product called Phomollient, which gives it a bit of body andsince it's short, keeps it away from my scalp as well. I will try keeping the conditioner only on the ends as a few of you have suggested. Take your vitamins and watch your diet as well for less greasy hair. I think the less you harass your scalp with harsh things the better it likes it. I would like to find a good gentle shampoo.

I am 36 and still have the kind of hair that gets the teenaged greasies if I don't. However, I recently dyed my hair red and my washing regimen was causing a lot of my color to go prematurely down the drain. Allow me to concur with what Jessica suggests: instead of lathering daily, just wet your hair in the shower and condition it. Shampoo every other day, or every third day. I have been doing this with L'Oreal Feria conditioner (the stuff in the white tube, from Sally Beauty) and it has really made a different in the quality of my color. I also suggest prenatal vitamins for anyone who has thinning hair. They really do work. I am a “wash every day” girl, too.

I have had really oily, greasy hair since I was 12ish. My dad had it, his dad had it, and acne too. Disgusting. He of course taught me to melt that grease right out with very hot water and wash the hair every day with strong shampoos- and I did- and I had thin, weak hair that HAD to be washed every day. Three months ago, I was desperate to figure something else out since I know that your skin and scalp does much better without all of that harshness, but you know and I know walking around with little slicks of greasy clumping your hair up is not an option. Get cheap conditioner- Suave, White Rain, etc (anything without a chemical ingredient ending in -cone.) Wet your hair with tepid water and slather on like 5 handfuls of the condition- all up in your roots, through the length, everywhere. Then go on with your shower- the conditioner needs to sit in the hair at least 15 min. There are mild surfectants in the conditioner that are going to clean the grease/dirt out WITHOUT STIMULATING YOUR SCALP TO MAKE MORE. Finally, rinse for 5 minutes + with the coolest water you can stand. I haven't used shampoo in 2 months and my hair is way thicker, glossier, and I can go three days between "washes" now. If you're scared, try it some night that you have nothing to do the next day! It works. You've trained your scalp to throw up all of this extra oil because you use detergent on it every day. It can be fixed. OK- I’m gonna get booed out of town, I’m sure- you don’t need shampoo at all.

I had to wash it every day or else it would look like I had slipped and fell into an oil slick. But it wasn't my hair, so much as the fact that it got used to being shampooed every day. It took about a six months, but I conditioned it to the point where I can wash it every other day now and my hair looks good up until then. I wish I had better tips about what kind of shampoo to use. I'm a shampoo whore since my hair seems to do well with any ol' brand. So I switch around a lot. Lately, though, I've been using the Origins Jump Start shampoo with good effect. I wrote a review about it not too long ago if you want to check it out. Good luck! Anne - my hair used to get oily very easily, too.

I don't wash my hair but every 3-4 days. I can't imagine washing it daily, it takes a whole day to dry! I've read over and over the disadvantages to washing daily, one of them being that the more you mess with your hair or touch your scalp=the more oil your glands will produce. Like when your mom used to tell you to brush your hair 100 strokes before bed every night for pretty hair. The reason is because it stimulates the glands to produce more oil. Thus those people who are washing daily who say they have to because their hair is so oily are having to because they wash their hair daily. It's a vicious cycle. I get compliments on the condition of my hair all the time. Ladies, give the shampoo a rest and help your hair look its best. :) My hair is down to my waist, curly and thick.
