I took a long-term approach to greasy hair last year, after battling with it my entire life.

I didn't use shampoo for a month. I tried the whole bicarb/vinegar thing earlier, but that did nothing. So I did just plain water for a month.

When that was up, I started to use shampoo again. And I now wash my hair every 4-5 days.


As for my face, that's water only for most of the week. I cleanse, tone and moisturise twice a week (and need to use products for combination skin: oily skin products make the oil worse). Any more and that stimulates the oils and spots.
