Reddit mentions of TIGI Bed Head Superstar Sulfate-Free Shampoo, 25.36 Ounce

For me, switching to a sulfate-free shampoo made my scalp start producing way less grease. That made the biggest difference of all. I tried the baking soda and vinegar no-poo thing, but it just wasn't for me. I used to absolutely have to wash my hair every morning or else I was a giant greasy mess all day, but the ends of my hair always looked dry. this is a good sulfate-free option. Yes, these types of shampoos are a little more expensive than most, but it will make your hair feel much healthier and look better. Sulfates are harsh and strip your hair and scalp of the natural oils it needs to be healthy, so your scalp goes into overdrive immediately following a shampoo to make up for what you lost.

I wash every 2 or 3 days now, and here are some tips:

• Try switching to a sulfate free-shampoo, and doing your regular hair routine for about two weeks. Over time, you should notice your hair getting less greasy.
  
• Avoid products with silicone, dimethicone or anything ending in "-cone" in them. Silicones will build up on your hair, and can weigh fine hair down like nobody's business.
  
• When you shampoo, focus only on shampooing the roots of your hair. The rest of it doesn't really need it, and the action of rinsing your hair will pull the shampoo down through it anyway.
  
• Don't skip the conditioner. Use a lightweight conditioner and use it only on the ends of your hair. Getting it on the roots will just weigh fine hair down, and can make your scalp look greasier.
  
• On a day when it's a little less greasy (maybe on a weekend or lazy day when you don't need to look super glamorous), skip the shampoo.
  
• If you skip a shampoo, you can just hop in the shower and give yourself a thorough scalp massage under the running water. The action of this combined with the running water will remove some of the oils from your scalp and bring it down the shaft of your hair. Alternatively, you can use a shower cap and keep your hair dry.
  
• On days you skip a shampoo and find you have a little extra oil in your hair, use a dry shampoo. Spray it on the roots and anywhere that looks greasy, then brush it through. Start with less than you think you need. It's easy to add more, but if you start out with too much, it can cake up on your hair and feel weird. Since I am a cheap-ass, I use cornstarch instead of one of those commercial dry shampoos. I use an old makeup brush to apply it sparingly on oily areas, flip my hair and then brush it through. It being so white, I'm not sure cornstarch would be totally invisible on super-dark hair, so YMMV.
  
• Rock that updo on oily days. There is an adjustment period and you'll definitely have some not-so-fabulous hair days while your scalp is getting accustomed to the new wash schedule. Your hair will look so much better in the long run, so tough it out. It will get better.
  
  My hair's not terribly fine, but I fixed my grease issue by doing this, and ended up with shinier, bouncier and much healthier hair in the process. Happy to post pics of my hair if any of you ladies are interested. Best of luck! :)
  

OKAY, if you had said any shampoo that's nice and cheaper on there, or asked for what I use, I could have sent you one. Do you remotely get where I'm coming from here in not understanding how you expected a miracle link? I'm not "full of shit", you just gave no information and expected answers. I told you what site to search whatever shampoo you wanted for her on, I said that was where and how I got mine, and you didn't do it. Grow the hell up, this makes zero sense. Also, if you go back to where I said "Amazon, you just search for her shampoo", it would have made sense for you to say "I wanted a link to what you use" or "I don't want her shampoo, I want something nicer/new". Not saying "so you can't get me a link?" considering to me, that meant I had to seriously give you a link to amazon.com.

and here

but my shampoo is for color-treated hair containing red and violet based dyes to prevent them from washing out, so she might need something else. See how easy that was once you explained what you wanted? People aren't being retarded when they don't read your mind. Also, if those links come out messed up, I'm at work and this computer formats reddit really weird.
