shampoos are harsh. use conditioner to wash (slightly dirty) or just water (daily)
and don't use terrycloth to dry it... those little loops are like velcro to hair. I use an old cotton tshirt or floursack cloth.

If your hair looks dirty or greasy one day after shampooing, then your scalp is overproducing oil to counteract too much shampooing.
