I kept seeing people online say that washing your hair less often trains your scalp to produce less oil and your hair eventually balances itself out. So I decided to actually try it instead of just reading about it. Week one was fine, a little oily by day four but manageable. Week two was a completely different story. My scalp started itching, my hair felt heavy, and no amount of dry shampoo was saving me at that point. I lasted exactly 13 days before i caved and washed it twice in one shower out of desperation.

I think the train your scalp thing might work for some people but I am clearly not one of them. Has anyone else tried this and either actually made it work or gave up faster than I did?
