I stopped using shampoo. My hair and skin have never been better. Shampoo takes away the skin oils, so the skin needs to compensate by producing more skins oils, making your hair greasy. Stop using shampoo makes it worse for a week, then it gets better and the hair stops being greasy. Shampoo is just an unnecessary addiction.

I've tried stop using shampoo but my scalp feels super itchy after about a week. Is there an alternative to shampoo that don't remove skin oil or removes less?

Edit: typo

If you want to get into soapmaking, you can regulate the lye to fat ratio.

I think the word is superfatted soap. You could search for that. Or soaps made from different fats (f.ex. olive oil or lanolin). Lanolin is apparently the best oil for our skin, but it's expensive.
