Is this at all acceptable?

No - you don't touch someone's body and interfere with just because they're unaware. If he has that much of a problem with it he can choose to throw you out. If, as you indicate in previous posts, it is not leaving a consistent mess it is not his problem. I'm very surprised so many people from the Escapist insist your granddad is right, considering how often they jump to words like 'freedom of...' or 'rights' when arguments arise over who can do what. I guess interfering with another's life is only a problem when it involves the proper authorities.

That aside - would you mind if I ask why you do not wash your hair with anti-dandruff shampoo? I've read through the thread and didn't stumble across the reason.

To reiterate. It's that bad in an absolute worst-case scenario like a pipe breaking, medical emergencies or natural disasters. In every other situation you can only tell if you press your face against my skull to look for it.

Sorry but this is not how it works. You would have to take a photo, or better yet, let your grandpa take a picture. Because there are people people who tell you they are not too fat even though they are not able to reach their damn toes. People overestimate themselfs and underestimate others.
Your grandfahter is right to do so and you should do something against your bad hair.

BTW. Here is a nice Cracked article that explains it.

It's already been done. It is very mild.

There is none available. It's a very long, complicated story and I don't quite feel like talking about it.

For a mother/grandfather/grandmother this is perfectly acceptable. Your grandfather is well enough to be a bit excentric, and you drove him into a difficult situation. I suppose you live under his roof, though that doesn't rob you from free will, it does allow him to sabbotage your attempts of being stupidly stubborn.
Also severe longlasting dandruff probably would made you bald faster.

You seem to be under the impression that it's severe dandruff. It's actually a very mild case that's visible only when: A. You Are actively trying to look for it (i.e. getting close, moving my hair around to see my scalp) , or B. Deliberately messing with my hair. My grandfather does the former.

Still your grandfather has the right to be a bit excentrict, he is old dammit. From his point of view your just being stubborn and childish, so he ignores your right to privacy. Is it wierd? Yes, is it unacceptable? No. I take it your grandfather is your caretaker, these are allowed to invade your privacy to furfill that task. And from his point of view that is just what he is doing here. He is taken care for you, for you are not taking care for yourself.
Wetter he is right or not frankly isn't relevant.
You're wierded out by his behaviour, as you should. But by far the easiest way to stop it, is to sit him down, and tell him to stop and that you'll do it yourself from here on. Just budge in, how bad can it be to use shampoo?
