Hair advice desperately needed

I'm not quite sure what my hair type is but it is super oily and slightly wavy. I'm mixed (Wasian) so I've also heard that that affects hair type. When I was a kid I had no issues with my hair but lately I need to shampoo my hair twice everyday otherwise it gets oily again, despite it just being one day. I scoured the internet everywhere, apparently over-washing can strip sebum and cause hair follicles to over-produce oil, so I stopped washing for a bit just to see (3 days) but I feel like it just got even worse-! I rub my shampoo in my scalp and wash it out thoroughly so I don't understand what's wrong. I tried brushing my hair when it was wet and when it was dry, no difference. I wash my brush weekly also. Has anyone gone through anything similar, any advice 😭
