I have washed my hair every 3 days for several years. About 10 months ago I ditched shampoo, first for handmade goatsmilk soap (which i did not like - way too greasy), then just water, then eventually for bs which I liked (at first). Eventually I also switched to raw ACV instead of conditioner. I was pretty happy with it and I even started stretching it to 4 or 5 days between washes about 6 months ago. I thought it looked and felt fine.
Then right after stretching it out, about 5 months ago two things happened, 1) I used henna on my hair and to rinse it out I used regular junk filled conditioner 1x. But I also had to wash my hair several times within a day for the whole process.
2) I breastfeed my daughter and my period started back, so I know my hormones changed.
Since then my husband noticed my hair is greasy so I went back to every 3 days, but even right after I wash it sometimes it looks greasy. I've stuck it out but im tired of it..
Oh and my hair is naturally curly (as of about 3 years ago), a little course, but not super thick. I don't brush it much or it looks terrible, unless I'm going to straighten which I do on occasion. But thats nothing new.
Any suggestions?

Hi :)
What temperature water are you using? I think cooler on the scalp but hotter on the rest of the hair might help the oil get to the right places (the scalp as opposed to the hair).
Let me know if it helps!
