how can i fix this?
Hmmm, sounds like you have very hard water and your shampoo isn't being thoroughly rinsed out. This happened to my dad many years ago when we were camping, and he showered, washing his hair. Call the city or county water department that serves your home. They should be able to tell you the general pH of your water (high pH=hard water which is full of minerals). Otherwise, your local hardware store might carry water testing kits. Call around. They shouldn't be too expensive. If you do have hard water, try finding a shampoo that is designed for hard water, or better yet, invest in a water softener system that attaches to your tap. You can then bottle water that you've filtered, or else you can purchase distilled water in the grocery store for using just on your hair. Pay attention that you don't buy mineral water, 'cuz that's what you want to avoid!
Good luck,
