Hello,
I was seeking advice from men who are inclined to use natural products in their hair. I have attempted to go natural, but my attempts with Tom's, Aubrey Organics and Aussie turn my hair to steel wool and require the use of a laboratory-created-God-knows-what-the-heck-is-in-it conditioner (Pantene) to make my hair feel like something strokable. Now, I've succumbed to the even more pernicious I'm sure (for urban runoff into the ocean) one-step Pert, which saves time and leaves my hair relatively strokable.
My hair is still pretty short (just starting to be grabbable in the back), but I foresee complications arising with longer hair. So, I am curious to know if anyone has any advice about quality natural hair products as well as the frequency of hair washing that's recommended. Regarding this last, I currently wash my hair everyday, but I suspect that may change when it gets longer.

Hi Charlie,
If it's a natural haircare line of good quality you want, you can't do much better than Abba or Aveda products. Both are very good, salon lines, and are all natural. Aveda is a bit more expensive, and trendy, but Abba is every bit as good, and some of Abba's products are even better. They can be found at beauty supply stores (but not at the Sally's chain), and at better salons.
As far as frequency goes, you'll discover how often you need to shampoo and condition your hair, through trial and error. I usually wash and condition mine every other day, and use a light leave-in conditioner on my 'off' days. This works best for my medium-fine very wavy hair.
