Stopping warm showers over the winter had noticeable results on my skin/hair. My hair used to always get so oily that if I didn't shower every 12 hours it would get oily again. I thought this was normal I would literally wake up and my brown fluffy hair would be black from the grease and this also caused acne since my face would look shiny.
So the first thing I did was never take a shower above lukewarm (basically if you have a mirror in the bathroom if your mirror is seriously fogged up afterwards its too hot). Nowadays I take super cold showers but the benefits of this are more so that hot water damages hair and skin. So as long as its not super hot it should be a major improvement.
Stopping using boiling water improved my hair quite a bit it would now get greasy only after one day or a day and a half of showering the last thing I did was gradually reduce shampooing. Its taken months of gradually decreasing it but at this point my hair looks amazing and only wash it every 2 weeks with shampoo. I'm still gradually reducing it but my hair looks the same each day for the most part. In the past if I missed a shampooing before school I looked homeless or like I hadn't washed it in weeks now it looks fine no matter what I do no more products on my hair just cold water and I let it dry naturally and it looks amazing
