As you've said your scalp is oily and the ends are dry, it may be that your shampoo is too harsh for your hair. It may be drying out the ends and also causeing your scalp to over-compensate by producing more oil.

You could try to find a more gentle shampoo or if you fancy a bit of searching, look for a shampoo without sulfates/silicones and then a conditioner with no silicones. Sulfates strip your hair, silicones coat it again to make it smooth, but you need more sulfates to wash them out! So it can become a vicious cycle.

The best advice (as others have said) is to treat you hair really gently, wear protective updos (buns are popular, secured with hairsticks/forks/pins), don't use much heat and keep split ends at bay by either micro-trimming or actually hunting for the individual splits and trimming them.

Thank you! You ladies are the best. I have just been washing the top of my head/the roots and conditioning all over and I already noticed a nice difference, although it would seem I do need another trim

What is stretch washing? Can someone guide me on what needs to be done.

You stretch your washes by a day for a few weeks, then another day, and another, for as long as you can go in between washings.
