You could try to a clarifying shampoo and treatment as build up could be contributing to it.
I find using henna really dries up my scalp and makes it woft also Ghassoul Clay.
I hwve crazy oily scalp and henna scalp mask or Ghassoul scalp mask works the best for me.
I do one or the other after the 5th wash which is usually once every 11 days.

I know mine is hormonal as mine cleared up in pregnancy I didnt have to wash my hair every 2 days and could wait 4 or 5 days. Was amazing. 6 months PP and it all came back.
