That's probably just because your scalp produces oil at faster rate than other people who don't wash their hair every day (like me). Personally, a daily shampoo makes my hair stringy, dry and break a lot. It takes to natural oils a lot better than the ones that conditioners try to reapply after those harsh shampoos.

The reason for that is because you wash them too much. Try wash your hair every 2-3 days. It may take a bit of time but eventually your hair will be fine over a period of a few days. I heard it was because washing intensively causes your scalp to lose its natural oils ( or something like that .. ) and works faster to get them back.
Correctemundo. (Sorry, sometimes I think I'm the Fonz.) I've even heard that our hair is self-cleaning... if you give it enough time (a couple of weeks) without any chemicals and just rinse it with water, the oil producing glands 'figure out' how much oil to produce and keep you hair nice, shiny, healthy and moist. I'm just waiting for a three-week safe zone to be temporarily oily so that I can save on shampoo.
