My greasy, stringy, thinning head of hair...

Hair Loss

I don't ever remember my hair being THIS way...

If I do not wash my hair EVERY SINGLE DAY now, it's seriously greasy the next day. Add to that, I normally like my hair rather short, in January I had it cut up to my chin. Well it's 7-8 months later and my hair is just now starting to grow longer than my shoulders, which is very slow growth compared to when I was younger. It's growing so slowly now that I am considering quitting cutting it as short as I like it, because when it is that short, I can't pin it up or make a ponytail which is an important part of daily life in my environment as it is very windy at least 60% of the time outside.

How lol is it possible, to be both greasyAF but also stringy and dry at the ends? I'm not joking when I say my hair has NEVER been this bad... When I was younger and went on three day/night camping trips without washing my hair- it was not as greasy as it is right now after waking up ONE day after washing my hair.

I just need to vent. Thank you for reading. Would appreciate any dry shampoo recommendations lol.
