Greasy hair

Dd is 9 and has really greasy hair, even as soon as it's been washed it still looks greasy.
I use conditioner because I always have on my other 3 and myself so I'm wondering if that's the wrong thing to be doing but she's the only one with this hair type so I don't know how best to manage it.
Hopefully someone can give me some advice.
I've tried washing less frequently and more frequently but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
It's mainly the roots.

Some shampoos and conditioners contain too much silicone. My hairdresser suggested washing hair with washing up liquid now and then to reduce residue build- up.

Try an apple cider vinegar rinse.

You don't put conditioner on the roots though do you? It's only supposed to be on the length, not right near the scalp.

Try different shampoos to find what works for her hair. Mine gets greasy easily and I find the orange or pink bottle L'Oréal best for it.
