Ok, it's no secret that lots of people have been asking the question about whether they should shampoo/condition and how often. I've noticed a wide variety of responses to these questions. On one hand, we have people saying that you shampoo/condition everyday; and on the other hand we have people saying that you should shampoo/condition only once a week or less, not to mention all the responses in between. I know I've offered my advice to some of these questions before, but now I'm going to propose a slightly different approach which should help everyone to figure out what to do. First, you must realize that there is no ONE way that everyone is SUPPOSED to take care of his hair. I say this because that's what people keep asking: what I'm I supposed to do? Well, everyone has different hair; so you're solution isn't necessarily going to be the same as someone else's. So here's what I propose. Try everyone's advice; try both of the extremes and everything in between. For example, you could try each suggestion for about a week or so and then observe what your hair is like. It is inevitable that you will eventually find out which method works best for your particular hair. Once you've found a way that makes your hair feel the best and makes it the most conducive to the style you want, then you've soved your problem. And one more thing. There is nothing wrong with anyone's suggested method. They will not slow your hair growth, and they will not cause you to get split ends. It's really only a matter of scalp moisture and hair manageablity. Sorry about the length of this post, but I hope this helps everyone find what they're looking for.
