Your hair (actually the skin on your head) is irritated, it releases too much sebum, you should use less aggressive shampoo and start washing your hair less often. It’ll be hard at first, you’ll have to endure dirty hair, but after some time your sebum production will reduce and your hair will stay clean longer.
You may also have dermatitis, you could go to a dermatologist.
And lower the heating in your bedroom, you don’t need 23°C in there when already sleeping under a comforter, it’s also better for your general health.
The recommendation is appreciated. I’m not too worried about my hair. This has been the situation my whole life and, while showering can be painful, it’s refreshing as well.
I doubt the heat in my bedroom is the problem. I (admittedly only sometimes) sleep with the window open in the winter and, despite a central HVAC, a window AC unit in the summer. I honestly prefer that nowhere in my house ever get above a max of 67 fahrenheit (apparently 19.5 C). If it ever gets to 23C (which DDG tells me is approximately 74 fahrenheit), I am barely functional, with or without a comforter. I know this to be the case from when I lived with my dad, whose thermal preferences were very different from my own. I even deliberately moved to a colder area to make it easier and more environmentally friendly to stay at my preferred temperature. I do adjust the temperature for guests, but it’s no fun.

Thank you again for trying to help, though.
