Stop washing it. I know it sucks since your hair isn't used to it and it will get super greasy, but invest in a good dry shampoo (I use Bumble & Bumble's since it also adds volume) and it will be fine. Gradually increase the length of time between washes and it will stop getting as greasy as quickly. If you can cut down to one wash a week or less, your hair will thank you. My hair got noticeably thicker after I stopped washing it even though I was bleaching and dying it once a month. Bosley also makes a foam leave-in treatment to apply after washing that thickens the roots a little.
May I ask when did you start noticing the results and how long did it took? For the BB, did you buy both shampoo and conditioner? And if I wash my hair once a week, is it ok if I use dry shampoo? Because, I don't want to go to school with super greasy hair and people thinking I don't shower.
After about a month I started noticing the grease getting more tolerable and not building up as quickly. It became noticeably thicker (it's never going to be crazy thick because it's mostly genetics, after all) after a few months? Not that long, but it was enough for my hairdresser to comment on how much healthier my hair was.
I use B&B's dry shampoo, which is a powder, and Clear Shampoo and Conditioner for once-a-week washing, sometimes less. The dry shampoo won't affect your hair quality so you can use it daily, but make sure that you rub it in well enough so that you don't get any residue from the powder. When I was building up to once-a-week shampoos, I used the dry shampoo until I had more grease than I could handle and then I washed with normal shampoo. After a while your hair builds up some bulk and doesn't get so greasy anymore once it starts getting thicker.
Oh, and get a shower cap for when you're not washing your hair. Getting it wet makes the grease more apparent.

Thank you so much Lurkette I'll try to save up money for those items since I notice B&B are from Sephora. If it works for you, than I hope it'll work for my hair. Is it possible for you to link me the products because when I went to the Sephora, there were so many B&B products! or you can just give me the names. Was the powder one call Pret a Powder? Once again, thank you!
Yep, Pret a Powder.

It's a bit more costly but it lasts forever so it's not so bad. For your regular shampoo and conditioner just get something volumizing from the drug store or wherever. I haven't seen much of a difference between shampoos, although Clear has worked well for me.
