Please give me your best solutions for greasy hair.
Mine is thick but gets greasy so quickly. I dont want to wash it every day.

My tip is dry shampoo. Use it either after you've dried your hair or straight before bed. My hair was definitely more greasy when it was washed every day and now I wash it 2/3 times a week.

Likewise dry shampoo. Mine is thick and long and really greasy at roots. I also avoid silicone in shampoo as this just makes my hair feel yucky and like it has a film on it. I avoid any nourishing shampoos. I used my daughter's Herbal Essences shampoo recently and this made my hair even more greasy even though it is silicone free, am guessing it's maybe cleansing agent is harsh and hair over compensates by producing more oil. Growing out permanent hair dye made mine even more greasy. I presume this is due to peroxide in dye drying it out a bit.

I've been suffering for years. I've recently discovered a shampoo that is so far working well. It's called fanola rebalance. I've only been using it for 2 weeks but I can now go 2 days without washing my hair and I do not need dry shampoo which is unheard of for me. I'd usually wash my hair one day then use dry shampoo the next and wash the 3rd day.

I have the same issue and the best shampoo I've found is Tigi Urban Antidotes Re-energise. I use it every other day and dry shampoo in between ☺️
