Hair Care Tips for a Male with Longer Curly Hair?
Alright, other than minor trims (such as to keep from growing a mullet), I haven't cut my hair in roughly 8 or 9 months. My hair is fairly curly and not straight. For refrence sake, when dry it hangs roughly at my eyebrows, when wet it reaches the lower part of my nose. I used to try and not shampoo my hair daily because it gets really really dried out, however, nowdays, with the length, if I don't it instantly gets really nasty. I've never really had hair this long so I guess I don't know the proper way to take care of it. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pantene shampoo,Shampoo washes your scalp(grease)Pantene conditioner Moisturizes your hair,put it only on the ends,your scalp doesnt need any. They have a very nice daily shampoo,Can get it anywhere,,cheap,I have hair way down to there,and it makes my hair,(and everyones I've made buy it) Very nice and light and clean feeling.And it doesn't smell girly. and do you know.. thatr brushes are bad for your curls?

Firstly, is your hair thick or thin?
If it's thick, stay the fuck away from pantene! Pantene's products are based around using proteins, which is all well and dandy if you have thin or broken hair, as it helps in the repair and condition, if you have thick hair (like me), the last thing you need is more protein. Now, find yourself a good conditioner. Shampoo will strip your hair of all the nice oils, moisture and what not that it needs to keep itself in shape, so you put some conditioner on afterwards to replenish it. My hair is about 2" beyond my jawline, very wavy (formerly curly, but the weight is just starting to make it a tad straighter) and thick as hell. I give it a wash and condition about once a week, with a rinse ever 3-4 days, as otherwise it just gets too dry to do anything with. Regular brushing (with a nice brush, not a comb) is the way to get your hair tamer. The brushing brings oils from the scalp down into the hair and also stops those damned knots from forming. Give us a few more details about what your hair is like, and i'll see what other pearls of wisdom i can impart. hmm, i'm not actually sure how much of a bloke i feel anymore after saying, and understanding, all of that |

i used to brush through conditioner (pantene in fact) and then not touch it until I did it next time... every 2 or 3 days that was. I did have thickish hair, but i think i mainly liked the smell of pantene now i have short hair, which is easier but i still miss my hair sometimes can't be assed to regrow it though
