I'm trying the air dry method to drying my hair so the only thing I do is shake it as dry as possible and then let it do the rest, but my hair gets really greasy and oily when I do this, it even hardens and feels like I have gel in my hair in the front and sides. I was just wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong or something else I need to do. All information is welcome and very appreciated.

hard water/ if so skip the bronners complrtelu]y see if that helps
bs without acv wil make u less oily
what about temp
hot removes oil then a freezing xcold rinse sals the pores shiut so no oil pumped iut
i take pretty hot showers. what is acv?

well stop using so much hot water or at least finnish with a cold rinse
if your using baking soda you should be using acv too or at least know what it is and whento use it
acv-apple cider vinager
baking soda is alkaline
hair acidic
acv acidic
but
oily hairs too acidic
dry hairs more towards the alkaline/nutral side
so
after using baking soda your hair gets more alkaline
you want it between 5 and 5.5
too acidic u get more oily
too alkaline too dry
stop using hot water try luke warn to cool
and
finnish with a cold rinse
if you need to remove oils buildup hot helps 1st then cold
experiment with diferent temp and using acv verses nit using it
andif u have hard water dont use bronners at all

Yeah, depending on where you are in Kt, you are looking at some pretty hard water. The Bronners will not rinse out and is causing buildup of residue. If your locks are that hard when you wash, you should look into getting an anti-rsidue shampoo and try using it once to see if it removes it. Anti-residue shampoos are not for use on a regular basis. So see how it works after 1 or 2 washes
