Poll of the Day > Do you have a daily/weekly/monthly hair care regimen?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I usually wear hats and caps everywhere so I never really took great care of my hair. I have short kinky hair and I just use Head and Shoulders 2 in 1 a couple of times a week. But I don't protect it from getting dry or damaged. My new job doesn't allow hats so my crazy looking hair is exposed more often now. That made me want to start taking better care of my hair and maybe style it or something. Guess it's time to start looking into what products I'll need haha

Anyway, what do you guys do to manage your hair (that is, if you do anything at all)?

You should wash your hair more often.

Is that so? I've always been told that it's not good to wash your hair too much. Though I guess it would be different for every person.

Haha, I take it you have longer hair then?

Your hair is kinky so you need to soften it further to help tame it.
---

For the last 10 years, yeah.

I use conditioner if I want it to be straight, but otherwise I just avoid wind. The thing about that, there's wind everywhere.
---

I usually rinse and brush my hair at least daily with a complete wash every few, depending on circumstances.

Depending on mood or need, I'll either wear my hair in any combination of top knot or down and with or without a brewery cap.

I use shampoo in my hair every evening, and that's it.

I guess that makes sense. I know one of my changes will be to buy shampoo and conditioner separately instead of using 2 in 1 bottles. Then from there, I keep hearing different tips from different people, like how often to wash my hair, or what types of brushes or combs to use, and so on. It will probably take me a while to figure out what exactly works for me!

It seems like when you've got long hair, it's you vs. the world in order to maintain it!

Yeah I always rinse my hair in the shower and I'll use shampoo and conditioner 3 or 4 times a week. I think I should look into moisturizing products.

Wash it, brush it. It's very short so not much more needs to be done.

If I wash my hair every day it dries out my scalp and makes my hair feel more strawlike, so I tend to wash it about 3 times a week unless I get all sweaty or dirty or something. I've tried lots of shampoos, but I either end up with dry or oily hair unless I give it time to rejuvenate. I usually comb it over to the "opposite side" after I wash it so that when I want to style it back over the other way it has more volume to it. I hate having flat hair. I usually put pomade or this wax in it then slick it back and to the side.

I have a lotion I'll comb into it.

I think in the one picture I saw of you, you were wearing a hat. Haha.

Anyway, my hair just does what it wants. Mine is usually pretty short. But it get really curly as it lengthens out. Once, I went to get a haircut, and my barber said it was dry and to use a certain get for my hair. Because I forgot, I didn't change anything in my hair care routine. And when I went back, she said I used to much gel. So, maybe my hair takes care of itself when I sleeping...

Either way, I would either recommend cutting it more. Or trying out different hair products to see what works best. Sometimes, going to a salon would help. They may tell you the best way to take care of your hair. Also, brush/comb it more. It can help to keep it untangled and looking good. But it also depends on how your help grows. Like curly or straight. Or thick or thin. Things like that...
