One day, this team will play to their expectations...

Just not this year..

I shampoo very rarely, less than 1x per month for sure. When I use it, it's sulfate free. My hair is pretty short, 1-2" in length. It doesn't look or feel greasy, ever.

The easiest way to stop using it is to begin by diluting it each time you use it. Start by using 75% the normal amount you would use. Do that for a few days. Then 50%. Then 33%. then 10%. Then just stop using it.

You can clean any oils out of your hair with very warm water. There's no need to strip your hair of every possible oil every single time you shower, which is exactly what sulfates in shampoos do. Everything I've read indicates that your body wants your hair to have a certain base level of protective oils. When you strip these oils away with sulfates, your scalp makes more oils. So when you don't shampoo for a day, your scalp is used to working overtime to make these oils, and thus your hair ends up looking greasy.
