Haircare for oily roots, dry damaged ends?

I'm growing out my bleached hair and the worst part about it is the oily roots within two days of washing.

My regrowth is about three inches now so it's really noticeable.

The rest of my hair looks great and doesn't need washing.

I can't use dry shampoos because I have extremely sensitive eyes and the fine particles end up getting in my eyes and irritating them.

At the moment I'm using Aveeno clarifying shampoo and a selection of conditioners on the lengths only for dry damaged hair.

Bain Divalent - kerastasse. It’s pricey but my hairdresser recommended it and I haven’t looked back. Also helped to do a double wash with shampoo and then I use a mask like a conditioner on the ends.

Do you condition your ends or half way down ? I never condition. The top of my hair if I have regrowth.

Thank you, I've used kerastase in the past so I know it''s usually worth it. I'll give it a try.

@Coffeeishot I put conditioner on the mid lengths and ends where my hair is most damaged, for about 5 mins then just before rinsing I wipe it through to the roots, otherwise I end up with frizzy little hairs at the roots that stick out.

I see your point, no I don't think it is the conditioner. I've been thinking about this and had a change in medication so I'm wondering if that's making a difference.
Definitely need a different shampoo regardless!
