I agree with Rini, the shampoo looks harsh. It has the exact same active ingredients as my old shampoo.....I was a daily Pert Plus washer a few years ago, and I couldn't cut down my wash frequency until I switched shampoos. After quitting Pert Plus and switching to a gentler shampoo, it helped me eventually transition to once-a-week washing. The gentler shampoo had Sodium Laureth Sulfate (no ammoniums, no lauryls)
Switching shampoo doesn't mean switching conditioners either... if you like the conditioner then definitely keep using it
I don't think it has to do with cones.... What
shampoo do you use and what are the second and third ingredients
listed? Or it could also be the way your scalp is supposed to be - some
people's scalps produce more oils than others.

Shampoo--Dove Intense Moisture (weightless moisturizers) ingrediants:
1) Water
2) Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
3) Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
Conditioner--(same as before but...the conditioner) ingrediants:
1)Water
2) Cetearyl Alcohol Cetrimonium Chloride
3) Cyclopentasiloxane
My scalp could be just really oily...when I was in my teens my hair was so much worse. My hair always looked greasy...
Well, CWC works for me, followed by an ACV rinse.
I can go a good 3-4 days with this. I am one of those ppl for
whom CO does not work, but there are just as many for whom it does.
As for salon brands, I really think you need to pay attention to the
ingredients. There are some supermarket brands which have good
ingredients and cost half the price of salon brands. You just have to
do some investigation and shop around.
I've always been happy with dove...makes my hair nice feeling the day I
shampoo and condition. It's just teh next day scalp feels greasy. My
hair doesn't start showing greasy until afternoon though. I'm going to
try conditioning only tomorrow (but rinsing my hair) and seeing what
happens.
I kind of like washing my hair everyday...it's still at a length in
which it needs it (shoulder length)...but my hair is growing fast. I
looked in the mirror at this pizza place while standing in line and was
like wow...my hair is getting long. I remember when it was a 2" pixie
in Sept. 04.

No you are not. I shampoo/condition every other day. I used
to shampoo/condition every day, but have since tapered back, both to
benefit my hair and make the shampoo/conditioner last longer. I
use Biolage - a salon brand - and it is a little expensive. I
don't use that much shampoo - usually run through conditioner first.
However, I do try to focus the shampooing mainly on the head and scalp.
I read how people here condition only, but I can't do that because my
scalp will get oily. Maybe those with dryer skin can get away
with this?
The longest I have gone,say three or four nights, without washing and
my scalp will start to itch and my hair gets heavier with oil.
Yuck.
And yes, salon brands do make a difference.

I have tried to not shampoo everyday, but, I cant stand the feel of my hair either. It tends to feel greasy and just makes me uncomfortable. So I try to use a gentle shampoo and wash everyday. I just feel better and so far, my hair isnt dry.

I'm going about a week now without shampooing, sometimes longer. It took my hair and scalp about a month to get used to this. During that time, my hair seemed very greasy. But it doesn't anymore. I think also combing helps the transition...Hope that helps!

I should wash my hair every day,but dont.My hair gets oily very quick.I try to let my hair adjust to going longer but it never has.I know its not good to shampoo every day,so a second day ponytail seems to work for me.

Up until three weeks ago I was shampooing once every day. It was really drying my ends though. I bought a BBB to help out and i'm getting by. On a weekend, sometimes i can leave it until the third day.
I don't think it has to do with cones.... What shampoo do you use and what are the second and third ingredients listed? Or it could also be the way your scalp is supposed to be - some people's scalps produce more oils than others.
That has to shampoo every day and the longest I can go is 2 days? I do
not use much shampoo...but I dunno. I guess my scalp has gotten so used
to me using more often than I should. I am actually trying to get to
shampooing every other day...I did it in teh winter but then when it
got warmer for a few weeks my head turned into a gease-ball.
Also I am thinking of switching from dove to sauve naturals...maybe if I did not put so much 'cones in my hair.
