Can't say that I have. But then, I am bald as all hell. My ex-wife never seemed to have issues with it though, fwiw.

Well I felt my hair was a little dry so yesterday after the shampoo and condition and blow dry, added a couple teaspoons ( guessing amount) of olive oil.
Sometimes during the summer months hair will get oily, although I live in S Fla, even my skin seems less dry June-September.
Switch out for a new brand of hair products, have been told to do that from time to time!

@KnitOrMiss , I'm still jealous co-washing worked so well for you--it did NOT work for me. I gave it a good month or two and still had oil-slick problems.

@jameela798, Yeah, I have oily hair problems, but I don't know if they are due to dietary changes or not. I've always been a daily shampooer out of necessity, with the only exceptions being during two of my (four) pregnancies, at which point I could go 2-3 days between washes without a problem. I do think my skin is more oily too, but I'm not complaining--it keeps my skin protected from the elements and helps me stay looking young!

Nope, not that I know of... and I'm overdue for a doctor appointment anyway. Haven't seen a doc since my last postnatal visit, and baby is almost 2.... and yes, I know how bad that is....

I used to wash only every other day, but I do find I am having to use dry shampoo in between now. I recently changed shampoo as well, so not sure. On the upside, my skin is looking great!

My hair actually got less greasy eating LCHF. I stay to under 30 total carbs a day and drink lots of water(mostly as tea). Greasy hair was a problem for me, so the unexpected reversal was a great surprise!

Yes ! I wasn't even able to go a full 24 hrs before my hair would look greasy. I've had to start only applying conditioner to the ends and it has helped a lot. It's still gets greasy but I'm getting 24-36hrs before needing to wash it.

From what I've seen, there are two common causes -- hormones and external factors.

I can't say much in general for hormones, except that odds are pretty good LCHF will normalize most of them over the long term, as long as nothing is "broken" (ie - thyroid has gone off the deep end).

As for external factors, I've found commercial shampoos to be the worst culprit in hair and scalp issues in general (including dandruff that only sort of responded to the heavy duty medicated shampoos). Switching to homemade, real-soap based shampoo (or the "no-poo" method) has worked wonders across the board for people I know who have done it.

I'm personally a fan of this recipe -- http://wellnessmama.com/3701/homemade-shampoo/ (though it's since changed; it used to be 1/4 cup coconut milk to 1/3 cup soap; I still use that ratio instead of the new one, but it might be due to changes in the Dr. Bronner's soap formula). There are others out there worth trying, though.

I cant say I have..in fact this week I just went 3 days without washing my hair for the first time, pretty much ever. I only washed it because I felt like I should, it still wasn't greasy! (sorry if that grosses anyone out)

This is also me right now. I have an oily scalp and very fine/little hair, and usually, it'd be so I'd have to shampoo at least every other day, or else I look like a swamp creature; and rarely using conditioner, but my hair has gotten stronger and thicker due to eating mostly whole food for the past couple years. Anyway, six weeks into keto, I've noticed that I actually haven't felt the need to wash my hair as often...even though it's summer, too.

@anewlifeat40 I agree that a perm does add texture and body which makes the hair fluffier and less prone to being slicked-out by the oils in our skin. I used to get a body wave regularly, but that was in the '90s, LOL. Seems like straight or only slightly wavy is the style for the past couple decades, at least.

omg me too. I have great hair, but rarely wear it down. I hate it getting in my way, so it's always tied up - in fact, I have some new growth coming in that's bugging the crapola out of me, so I've got Hello Kitty clips in and IDGAF how it looks, LMAO! I can't have a short hair cut because I prefer my hair to frame my very round shape. I'm sure pulling it up tight every day all day will make me go bald soon enough :P

I look like a weirdo in hats. But they have their purpose!

I'm married to a hair stylist... he says hats slow hair growth, and brushing your hair increases hair growth by stimulating the roots... Pulling it into a pony tail or clip can help stimulate growth as long as it's not also causing breakage...
