My hair needs your help

[Zephyrs]

I shower every day. I hate having sweaty, greasy hair.

There's a difference between staying clean and keeping healthy straight hair.

i do it less to save my color from coming out so fast.
not shampooing does not = no shower or cleaning lol

but a person shouldn't be shampooing EVERY DAY unless you have some kinda dirty job or you sweat balls alot.
your scalp needs your natural oils and crap, should never be dry,

i scrub the crap out of it every time i shower, but i just don't use shampoo every time.

if you dont use any kind of products daily on your hair, try a normal shampoo every 3 days,
and you should find some spendy vitamin conditioner (not one that cleans) just for health. daily use

hygiene is complex?

yeah man its a pain in the ass lol

Yeah but it's not hard after you get in the rhythm of that stuff. I usually have short hair so it's not too big of a problem having straight hair. But that's just how mine is, if it got longer the ends would curl.

My hair is always clean, but I may have been overshampooing it.

[Ronin]

How much do you squeeze out of the bottle when you use it? Or maybe you're not letting the conditioner sit long enough (some say wait like 2 minutes after putting it into the hair).

[Bones4]

I use a from a half dollar to a ritz cracker size squeeze. I also leave conditioner in for the length of my shower...  like 10-15 minutes.

Cum works wonders on hair

Maybe a hot oil treatment if your hair is coarse and not feeling straight or smooth.

Also I figure you're going for this sort of hair style this bro, or a variation.

[Bones4]

I have hot olive oil in it still. lol

That probably will do the trick, also found this

Shampoos and Conditioners

This topic i don't have alot of knowledge on, mainly because i use quite an obscure shampoo. I use the shampoo bars that you can get from http://www.lush.com i've found them very effective instead of a standard shampoo and all the ingredients are natural aswell. On a budget, Pantene Pro-V and also Tresemme are a good shampoos and conditioners but i have heard that the Pantene is abit of a joke when it comes to repairing hairs and split ends because it covers the hair with a layer of wax.
I have heared very good things from a friend of mine who has long hair and that the Aussie branded shampoos and conditioners are very good so i would suggest checking them out.

Conditioning wise, it depends on how you hair is, there is a huge range of conditioners that target specific hair types, whether your hair is "Thick and Coarse", "Damaged" or "Greasy" there is a conditioner out there for your hair.
If your hair feels very coarse and dry i would suggest a hot oil treatment, VO5 do a good hot oil treatment that it's about £4 and gives you 4 vials of oil that you heat up in a cup of hot water, massage into your wet hair and leave in for a minute, i use it and it's done wonders on my hair especially because i straighten it. They recommend that you use it once a week depending on how bad your hair is.

Thanks, bro. :D

Yeah this place has good content. Makes me want to go back to having a lighter brown/blonde highlights (i.e when I was 6).

Damnit hair! You turned dark on me!! Argh

I don't know how you dry your hair, but don't be a slob and just attack it with a towel. That damages the hair and leaves it rough. Patting it gently with a towel and wrapping it up works very well to dry your hair and leaving it feel nice.
