Have you ever considered actually attempting to use a clarifying shampoo specifically formulated for oily hair? It might be worth a shot. 😉
The fundamental issue here is that you operate under the delusion that daily hair washing is an absolute necessity, driven solely by your conviction that your hair is inherently greasy. That is merely your own subjective perception. I suspect you would be quite surprised if you actually abstained from washing for a few days; you might find that your hair isn't nearly as oily as you imagine, perhaps only appearing marginally different after a single day of neglect.
It is true that hair can indeed become excessively oily, particularly during one's teenage years. However, as Anthony Flores2 pointedamente noted, this could very well be a self-inflicted issue; by washing too frequently, you are essentially stripping the scalp of its natural moisture, which triggers an overproduction of sebum to compensate. This is hardly a healthy cycle. Why continue such a pattern? I would suggest attempting to gradually phase out the daily wash until you establish a more sustainable rhythm of washing every three or four days.
There are countless little life hacks out there, but perhaps the most straightforward involves using simple talcum powder. If you find yourself dealing with greasy hair, simply rubbing some powder into the strands. It effectively absorbs the excess oil. Is there anything more efficient than such a basic solution?
Is it not obvious that constant washing leads to excessive hair loss? Between the thinning strands and the stunted growth, one faces the very real possibility of being left completely bald long before their time.
