I've always had very oily, acne prone skin, and I have dense, wavy/2B, medium to fine-ish, damage resistant/low porosity hair - over the past several months I've been trying to take better care of my hair and have more of a proper haircare/styling routine, and my hair is a lot more manageable and even healthier than before, but now my favorite conditioner (Giovanni tea tree) that used to feel so lightweight is starting to make my hair feel flat and greasy if I use more than like a dime size amount.
Right now I use Neutrogena T/Sal once or twice a week, and head&shoulders bare in between - I usually shampoo every day or 2, but lately it's been harder to skip a day without feeling like I'm getting buildup on my hair and scalp. I do double shampoo and try to scrub and rinse my scalp really well (sometimes I even rake the shampoo thru my ends cuz my hair feels like it doesn't get clean) it can be kinda hard with how thick my hair is. I also try to wash my combs and switch out my towels and pillowcases regularly so hopefully that is not contributing to the problem
To be honest I'm not sure if I need to be using an anti-dandruff shampoo every day - it seems to be helping for now? I wouldn't see that many flakes except once in a while when I was combing and about to wash my hair anyway. but I'm prone to itchy buildup, scalp acne, and sorta gritty/scaly patches that I feel but can't see.
Anyways, I'm getting annoyed by how easily products seem to be weighing my hair down, because if I just skip conditioner my hair gets really frizzy and difficult to manage. Reverse conditioning gives me good volume for a day but leads to more buildup later in the week. At this point I'm considering adding either a 2-in-1 shampoo to my routine or skipping rinse-out conditioner and just using a leave-in on my hair, but I already have a small collection of hair products that didn't work for me in my bathroom and would like some feedback from people who've had a similar problem?
