Ugh, this greasy hair! What do I do now?

Hi. So everyone gets greasy hair once in awhile, but for me it is a HUGE problem! I usually wear my hair in a ponytail, but the day I wore it down was when the trouble started. I didn't know that when it was up it wouldn't show that much, but when it was down my hair was completely damp and flat against my head. Ugh, it was disgusting and embarrassing. My family even made some rude comments! I washed my hair but it just keeps coming back, so what do I do? I don't really like to make it obvious that I care about my beauty because then my mom's all like, "Oh! That's so cute honey! I'm so proud of you!" And she makes this big gushy scene out of me just washing my own hair! How do I get rid of the greasyness? It seems impossible! So please....help?

Echo,
When I was younger I had that issue too. How often do you was it? For some people, their hair gets this way if they wash it too much, and others for if they don't wash it enough. I washed mine every day because strangely, if I didn't, my hair got worse. Check out the range of shampoos and conditioners at your pharmacy, as this will probably be a good place to find one to suit your hair type. Additionally, I would recommend staying away from conditioners as this might make your hair greasier, however commence using conditioners when your hair is no longer greasy.
