Hair care, how to keep hair from looking limp and greasy between washes?

Female, with straight (slightly wavy) shoulder-length hair which I sometimes grow out, usually dyed. Most everything I read indicates that washing your hair every single day is actually unhealthy for the hair. So I wash mine every other day, not skipping more than a single day in-between. However, the day that I don't wash it, my hair is limp and uncooperative, and near the scalp it looks greasy (to my eyes, at least). I use very few hair products, just a good quality shampoo and occasionally a spritz of hairspray when necessary. I don't use heating appliances on it, no hair dryers or curling irons.

Any suggestions as to how to keep my hair from looking and feeling gross on the day I don't wash? I hate going to work like this; I feel icky! And when I step outside and there's any wind or rain, I'm pretty much doomed to look even worse for the rest of the day, lol.

    Have you tried dry shampoo? Not Your Mother's is the brand I use and it's great.
