I'm a guy with semi-long hair, and I constantly run my fingers through my hair to make sure it feels clean. Not 24/7 but a few times an hour. I always have a compulsion to shower every night and morning due to the fear of my hair looking nasty.
Heads up, running your fingers through your hair will make it greasy. Wash it and stop being so vain.
I have dark hair, so I always feel like other people think it's just greasy lol I worry to
Constantly touching your hair like that is actually going to make it more oily.
you'll get the oils from your fingers into your hair
and possibly stimulate oil production in your scalp.
just wash your hair every other day. and don't over-condition unless it's very try.
yes every other day. daily washing may actually do more damage, especially if your body tries to compensate by over-producing the oils you keep removing
If you're having problems with oily hair &/or dandruff/dry scalp, try diluting your shampoo with water, condition just the ends & avoid washing your hair more than every other day.
I've started doing this & guess what; no more oily hair or dry scalp.
You may experience a transitional period where your scalp is so used to excreting excess sebum that it continues giving extra oil for a week or so until it realizes it doesn't have to anymore.
I have semi-long hair too and can't stand it when it feels greasy. It makes me feel unwashed all over. If you keep running your hands through your hair, you're probably making it worse, though, by spreading the natural oils from the scalp right through it. Dry hair shampoo (spray) might be an idea for keeping your hair fresher between washes.
