Honestly, I'd be trying different conditioners, see if something else works better for you. You shouldn't have hair that feels heavy and greasy after washing. Experiment a bit, try different things, and consider keeping both oils and conditioners off your scalp. Many people have trouble with them on their scalps, so you wouldn't be unusual at all in that regard.
ETA: Have you ever tried diluting a sulfate shampoo? Some people find that helps substantially with the harshness, while still giving them the cleaning power they need.
