My barber told me I was washing my hair wrong for 30 years

Went to a new barber in Denver last month. First thing he said was stop using drugstore shampoo every day. Said it strips all the natural oils and makes hair produce more oil to compensate. Told me to switch to a sulfate free shampoo and only wash twice a week. I thought he was full of it at first. But after three weeks my hair actually feels healthier and less greasy. I used to wash every morning and by evening it was a mess. Now I just rinse with water most days and use a conditioner bar every other day. Has anyone else gotten a big haircare tip that totally changed their routine?

Eh I'm not really sold on that. I've used cheap shampoo every day for years and my hair is fine. Feels like another one of those trends that comes and goes.

Right there with you. I've been using whatever two dollar V05 or Suave they have at the dollar store for like a decade and my hair is totally fine (dare I say normal). It's not falling out, it's not greasy, it doesn't smell like chemicals or anything. Feels like people just want to overcomplicate washing your hair to sell you expensive stuff that literally does the same thing.
