Is it weird to wash your hair every day?

I know it’s meant to be better to wash your hair infrequently - but is it that unusual to wash it every day? I have washed my hair every day for about the last 20 years but am planning to try and cut down.

But I just don’t feel like I’ve washed properly if I leave my hair! I hate feeling it unwashed around my face (even if tied up)

If you do wash yours once a week etc, HOW do you manage to go to work without greasy hair? Does it just stop being greasy? Douse it in dry shampoo? Seriously looking for tips here!

Or AIBU to think I should just keep washing it every morning?

Ultra fine straight hair. Don’t blow dry or straighten ever. Wash every day because otherwise it’s two-tone at the end of day 2. My skin is also teenage in terms of oil production and I strongly believe the two are linked.

In summary, it’s like skin care. I don’t give two hoots that my colleague only uses soap and has beautiful clear skin because frankly I know what soap does to my skin...I’ve got acne scars to prove it. Same with my hair. And several hairdressers over the years have said the only reason not to wash fine hair every day is if you use heat to style it.
