Hair less oily?

I was switched almost a month ago. My hair was always on the oily side, if I did not wa**** every day it was a oily mess. Now I notice that I can skip 2 days and it still looks dry, not oily at all..........has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if it will stay this way or if it's a phase that I am going through. Maybe the weather is having something to do with it, it has been cool and dry..........

Butch, my hair and skin have both been very dry.  When I was a month out I itched everywhere, still do but not as bad.

I'm 4.5 years post-op and the oiliness in my hair has never returned. I can certainly skip a day or two from washing my hair without it getting all funky with oils.  My hair isn't necessarily dry, it's just not as oily as before.

I am almost 9 years post-op and the same thing happened to me. I only wash my hair now every other day. Not sure if its the hormone changes or simply the fact that we absorb less oil. Skin is also drier.

There was a similar thread to this awhile ago.  Sorry I can not locate it, but from what I gathered in the previous thread this is not uncommon.

Remember our body does not absorb as much fat as it used to (approx 80% less) which is part of the reason why we can not take supplements unless they are in a dry form.  Less fat absorbed by us means less oil produced on our hair and skin.

 Mine is definitely less oily than pre-op and I'm coming up on 4 years.

Right there with you! I only wash my hair every other day now. I think it's a nice change! Oh, I'm 13 months!

I noticed this about a month post-op.  I am only 2 months out.  I figured it was normal and glad my hair wasn't falling out, lol

My oily hair and skin went away in the beginning but its back now at almost a year out.  LOL  I was loving it!  No more breakouts, I could go days without washing my hair.  You will slowly add more fat back into your diet and things return to normal.  I think its the initial malabsorption of nutrients that dry you up.
