There’s more to it than not shampooing enough.
Before we dive into the variety of factors at play, it’s important to understand exactly what is at the root of oily hair.

Thus that potentially unpredictable oily hair.
Though we can’t control our genetics, which are also responsible for hormone production and hair type, there are ways to manage oily buildup on your hair’s ends and roots.

Or you can adjust the type of shampoo you’re using, depending on what your stylist or colorist recommends.
How often you need to wash your hair is highly dependent on things like your hair type, how much you exercise, and more. For instance, if you have natural hair, a generally non-oily scalp, and tend to do low-impact activities like yoga, you won’t need to wash your hair as often for oil-prevention purposes as someone who has thin, fine hair, more natural oil production on their scalp, and who does intense boxing workouts multiple times per week.
