Trying to improve the condition of my hair
I have been trying to improve the condition of my hair; especially when it comes to washing it and it getting greasy.
Back when I was a teenager, I'd wash it every night but as we all know, it is so bad for your hair.
These days, I wash it every other day to every two-three days, depending on what I'm doing and so on. I never put conditioner all over my hair, just the ends and I use one hair product after showing, which doesn't go in my roots either. Come day two, my hair will already be getting noticeably greasy. Why is this happening? I heard that refraining from washing your hair so often, it will stay cleaner longer but it has been at least a year and a half now and if I want fresh looking hair, I'd have to wash it daily.
I know there's dry shampoo, but my hair *should* be able to stay grease-free for at least two days by now, right?
I should add that I don't really play around with my hair (as in twirling it around my fingers, constantly running my hands through it, etc) and although I usually blow dry it, if I let my hair air-dry, it will be the same the next day anyway - already greasy.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Are there any ways to fix this issue?

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I thought oily hair was hereditary. So I went to look and this article which I will post, says it usually is the case of being passed on in the family so its nothing you are doing wrong.
Some things mentioned in the article make sense. When we have greasy dishes, often something acidic like lemon juice in the product helps. However the amounts of such an ingrediant are very minute, so little that for tough jobs, it doesn't have a big impact. The article mentions, lemon juice, witch hazel or vinegar mixed with water to rinse your hair with. Its sounds logical. I don't have greasy hair so I couldnt try it to tell you but I would like to know how it works. So if you try it and think to tell me of the results, it would be helpful to know to pass on as advice for anyone else in the future.

Hi,
My hair is like yours.
My hairdresser told me not to put to much product in at all, because I have the type of hair that will make it greasy very quickly.Don't use conditioner all the time. Your hair is full of moisture anyway so once a week at most should be suitable.
Don't brush your hair too much.
D'you know what, I'm just coping a webpage here. See for yourself, if the problem persists speak to your hairdresser.

i've found this happening to me lately & i've put it down to my dyed hair. do you colour your hair?
i always have to dry shampoo too, no matter what shampoo i use - although i'm limited to what shampoo i can use because of it being coloured red!
i'd say try out a few shampoos and see how you go. dry shampoo'ing doesn't cause any harm, plus it makes your hair smell lovely :)
