My hair has been super wonky ever since I had DD. Before C, I had normal hair. Now it gets super greasy/oily very easily, and is more thick. I use to use conditioner daily. Now it's non existent, and now my scalp is really dry and flaky- it's normally dry in the winter, but not this dry. I use American Crew tea tree oil dandruff shampoo on it every other day, but I don't see a difference. Should I use it everyday?

Any other suggestions would be awesome.

Tea tree shampoo is actually very drying. Crew does make an Anti-Dandruff shampoo, but if you have dry scalp and not dandruff, it will probably worsen it. Generally speaking, white flakes=dry scalp and yellow flakes=dandruff/cradle cap. I would try a moisturizing shampoo and a conditioner. Try washing every other day and give it a week or two for your scalp to balance out. Hopefully it will and your hair will be less greasy.

Also, try using cooler water to wash your hair. And you could use a dry shampoo to help with the oil in between washes.

I would maybe switch to Paul Mitchell's tea tree shampoo, if you really love the tea tree, and start using a conditioner. A volumizing conditioner should leave it less oily feeling. Also, maybe throw in a moisturizing shampoo to alternate with the tea tree to make sure you're not over-drying.

Today I used a different anti dandruff shampoo- garnier fructis, and used frekkai's volume conditioner on my scalp. So far so good!!
