How To Treat Greasy Hair?

Hi beauties I've dealt with oily scalp/hair ever since I hit puberty.
I tried to stop washing my hair for 4 days and I would wash it every 4 days but it's not working my hair is still so oily!
moreover I have an itchy scalp when it gets greasy it's really uncomfortable , the day I wash it it's okay the next day is okay but a bit greasy, and the third day is a complete mess it looks like I tried to do an oil mask I try to go more than 3 days without washing my hair but it's impossible even dry shampoo doesn't help and I'm helpless cause I know washing your hair frequently is not good for the hair.
my ends aren't dry they're pretty normal and soft so I don't have to worry about it.
I really need help on what to do with this

I have the exact same issue. I changed to washing my hair 3 times a week. Once a week I use Bumble and Bumble Sunday shampoo for a more deep clean. In between washes I use Living Proof dry shampoo, so far been the only thing to help with my oily hair.
Hope that can help!

If you use the same shampoo/conditioner every time you wash your hair switching to a new one could help. Also a cleansing shampoo could help. (:
Talk to your stylist the next time you get a cut or trim!

I have fine blonde hair and I've tried everything. I tried the "training" method where I go to washing it only every 3/4 days and it never really helped. I use dry shampoo. It only works if I'm putting my hair in a ponytail. It doesn't really make a difference when I wear my hair down. I think to be honest everyone's different and although the myth is that you shouldn't wash your hair everyday I think that you need to wash you hair depending on what you do in a day. For me, I workout and sweat a lot so I find it necessary to wash more often. I don't think it matters how often you actually wash it.

Try applying dry shampoo before you sleep and applying heavily. I find it distributes it really nicely through the hair and makes it less greasy than if I apply it in the morning.

Also, you can find Bumble and Bumble at Sephora. I was in Paris (granted a large store) last year and they sold it there :)

Apply the dry shampoo when your hair is clean. So right after you wash and blow dry your hair. Ellebangs posted this tip in one of her YouTube videos and it has been a game changer for me. I never had much luck with dry shampoo until I started using this method.
