Fed up with my hair and scalp. Need to rethink my approach. Ideas please.

My hair is fine, but very thick and very very straight. The lengths are dry and dull and my scalp is becoming increasingly greasy and itchy.

I can wash it in them morning and by the evening it feels, well, dirty again. It NEVER used to do this. I could go for a whole week without washing it and it would still look clean.

I am thinking that clarifying, extra washing, are making things worse.

Clearly the increasingly greasy scalp is trying to tell me something.

In April I started a thread on my successes in facial care. My greasy but dry face is no longer greasy or dry, or spotty.
Now I need to do something about my bloody hair.
I am thinking that completely cutting out normal shampoos might be the only way to go.
I have tried oiling/deep conditioning, scalp massages etc etc, nothing works. Within a day my scalp is like an oilslick and really itchy.
Has anyone done this? Would you mind sharing your journey/results?
I don't mean the 'no poo' school, but using say shampoo bars from lush or the ones you see on eBay. I understand the transitioning period may be pants, but tbh, my hair is pants all the time anyway

Thank you for reading!

I and my hair love Cynthia Stout shampoo from Lush, nothing makes it happier, also Jungle and Veganese conditioners. The more I mess about with my hair the sadder it is.

I get a very itchy, and definitely greasier scalp if I eat wheat, maybe think about something diet related?

gobbler -love the name!
I have just read 'wheat belly' and I have really really cut down on my wheat consumption, intact my grain consumption. I know sugar is an issue. Obviously there is inflammation going on. I will check out the cynthia stout, thanks .

I had this problem and I found switching to a more natural shampoo instantly stopped the itching and helped with the grease. I use the Jason range now.

Mine clears by using coconut oil with a few drops of tea tree added. You need to put it on and leave it for a few hours or ideally overnight. When you wash, add shampoo to the dry hair and then condition. First day may be a it greasy but bear with it - the condition improves greatly. I try to use shampoos wth organic/ natural ingredients.
My DS scalp and eczema cleared dramatically by cutting out dairy, cutting back on wheat and sugar as well as the above.
