A member asked:
My hair becomes oily extremely quickly, is there a way to slow down that process so i don't have to wash my hair every day?

Would encourage: use of a very mild shampoo that does not strip hair of natural oils. When the scalp become extremely dried out then it produces more oil. It becomes a vicious cycle. Take care.
