My hair drips oil and I cant seem to ever get it clean. I never wear my hair down becasue by 3 pm my hair is limp and my roots are oily, and I washed just it in the morning. I dont use any products on my hair I just blow it dry and If i dont blow it dry it seems to be even oilier. I've tried multiple clarifing shampoos and I'm tired of using baby powder in my hair. Any Ideas?

If you are using clarifying shampoo every time you wash, that may be
why you are having this problem. Clarifying shampoos are for
stripping the hair of buildup, such as silicones from heavy
conditioners, buildup from hair products like gels or sprays and such,
etc. This is great to do for your hair once in awhile, but not
that often (I do it once every 2 weeks to once a month). Using
such a drying shampoo every time you wash can make your scalp
overcompensate by producing more oil to counter all of this
dryness.
Try using regular shampoo and dilute it with water anywhere from half
and half to three quarters water (you can experiment with the shampoo
you get see what still gives you lots of suds and cleans your hair, but
isn't so terribly concentrated and drying). Using this more
dilute shampoo will help your scalp to readjust and stop making so much
oil. After awhile of using this, you may even be able to get your
scalp to adjust to washing every other day sometime down the road.
Tips for diluting:
Mix a one-day serving of it in another small bottle, don't dilute the
whole bottle of shampoo at once to help prevent growth of things the
preservatives in the shampoo would otherwise ward off (probably not a
huge concern, it is soap after all, but better safe than sorry).
Roll slowly to mix, don't shake it.
