You need to use a shampoo that is sulfer based like Denorex. For a quick fix just use anti bacterial soap of any kind. What you have is a fungus that thrives on oil. Happens to alot of people. Doesn't mean you are unclean or anything like that! Happens alot during the winter months when you are going from hot to cold or like you said puting your hair in a bun when wet.

Hope this helps.
