I have the same, and I do the same! It works great, I usually wash once a week - but you do need to know when it cannot be saved and you have to wash it
Also, I never brush my hair, EVER - only in the shower, finger comb with conditioner in it. So when I do the water + oil stuff, I just use my fingers to gently detangle it. And I never put it up or braid it after this, because then it gets funny.

I have dry hair and a scalp that produces dryer sebum. My hair does not get oily, even after a month. What does happen is the dry tangling and scalp aches. I wash once a week. Oiling before wash can help break up any scalp crud. If your scalp tolerates it, a very light oil massage helps A LOT. CO washing didn't work for me, but I periodically leave my conditioner after the shampooing step, for up to 30 min as a deep condition. That works nicely. Also using a regular or a deep conditioner as a leave in, helps keep the ends nice longer.

I have curly hair but an oily scalp. The longer I go without washing, my roots will get oily and the length and ends of my hair will get dry. Water is the only way of truly adding moisture to your hair, so it’s not surprising that going too long without a wash can lead to dried out hair.
My hair gets dry when I stretch out washes. I normally just mist or use a misturiser and put an oil on top to refresh. But when that stops working, I know its time for a wash and deep condition

Has anyone suggested ROO yet? That has really helped my ends and sometimes I dont even feel the need for leave ins and oiling after a wash(although I'm oil crazed to I usually at least lightly oil to seal as well ) Roo is the rinse out oil method, you oil your hair in the shower, ears down or ends only, after you shampoo. I let the oil sit for a minute then add conditioner 9n top and also let that sit for a minute. I usually condition twice but I know a lot if people have success with one conditioner. I also notice if I use an apple cider vinegar(acv) rinse my hair and ends in particular behave longer and I can usually get and extra day out of my wash when I do.
I have the same problem too. I try to spray my hair with water and put some light conditioner or oil but the next day the ends look limp, greasy and dry at the same time. I've also tried lavender oil spray (cg method) but I'm not sure what it's supposed to do.
Let it grow, let it grow, don't cut or fry it anymore,
Let it grow, let it grow, turn away from silicones
...clogged drains never bothered me anyway.
Even the best of products can leave a buildup. Start with the basics.
When was the last time you clarified?
