Tips on skipping shampoos other than using dry shampoo?

I been doing a good job  at skipping a day of shampooing even though its hard.  Dry shampoo  usually makes my scalp feal more dirtier or heaver. Is there a way to avoid this?  I figure a more clarifying shampoo is needed but want to avoid that for I use temporary 28 day color on my hair

@kcladyz

Do you have a natural boar bristle brush to help redistribute the scalp oils?

Why are you skipping if you feel like your hair is dirty?

 

If it's because you want your color to last, maybe a water filter on your shower head?

I know some people just use a little baby powder.  You just have to have a really good brush to get it all out.

Baby powder usually has mineral oil in it.  Corn starch works better.

What about using dry shampoo at night before bed. Then you might not have to use as much, as it will absorb oil through the night, rather than applying a bunch in the morning.

Nick Chavez makes POUF! Re-Do Scalp & Hair Cleanser. It's not a dry shampoo. It's to refresh the hair and scalp without washing it. It's sold out on QVC now, but Nick's site has it.

I know what you mean.  I have been trying to skip a day to keep the color in longer but it is so hard.  Even if my hair does not look that bad, I feel creepy all day.  Just bought Bumble and Bumble with a touch of color dry shampoo to help with not washing and someone said it was good as a volumnizing for thinning hair.  I used it yesterday and was not really impressed.  I will try again this week.

My hair always looks its best on that second day when I don't wash it. Woman Happy
