A shampoo that will wash and keep hair clean for 2 days - does this product exist?

I have fine, but plenty of naturally, curly/wavy hair. Looks great on day of hair wash but the 2nd day not so great. My hair I suppose, would be classed as normal/greasy. Any recommendations please?

I have to be very careful with shampoos as I suffer from scalp irritation and flakiness.

If it's REALLY bad Neutrogena T Gel will get rid of it in 2 washes but bit harsh for every day use imo.

Head and Shoulders Colour Care is great and far from stripping the hair it really helps keep the colour and no itchiness either. I think H and S used to be very harsh but isn't the case now imo.

I have just re discovered VOSENE ( don't laugh! ) it is fab and the smell will transport you back to the late 70's/early 80's! Grin and it does the job really well - no flakes or itchiness and nice hair to boot!

A friend who has greasy hair swears by ALBERTO BALSAM tea tree shampoo and conditioner - worth a go as only a quid in Tescos!

I have been very happy with the results from the PK product (and to be honest, for that price, I'm bloody glad!), I'd just like to find something...something that will give me lovely bouncy hair...I aren't holding my breath!

Say - it's defo more bouncy and seems to hold up to the world with a bit more backbone than when just blown dried without any product. You need v little of it, otherwise it does give your hair a funny coating which attracts the dirt. It's not a miracle product but helpful. No impact on scalp (I don't spray it on my scalp, just lightly over my hair and then through the back layers then comb through) so no worries there.

Glad PK is helping and that you're pleased. It is £££ but the relief is so worth it, particularly if like me you've tried almost everything else on the market!

Update: my hair is so much better. All flakes, soreness & itchiness gone.
The only thing: for best results, I'm still better washing it (therefore drying it) everyday, which I was really hoping to avoid. Do you think overuse of the PK product will cause candy floss hair?

try the Tisserand tea tree and rosemary shampoo and conditioner £4.50 from Amazon. I got it for itchy scalp and now find I can get 2 days in between washes easy

Try washing your hair with the thoroughness that you get at the hairdressers - hair always lasts longer doesn't it?
My hair is fine and tends toward greasy too but since I've been doing a more intense wash and only condition the ends, it is better.
On dry shampoo, spray it onto a brush and then brush into roots, do it the night before, not in the morning.
HTH!
