ok, this is my first time posting anything on here. I just had a few questions about my hair. I have been growing my hair out since the begining of the school year in august 2001. I started out with a buzz cutt at number 3. I desided then that i am tired of getting my hair cutt and let it grow out. Well I ran into a few problems. First my hair gets real oily, i mean running your fingers through your hair getting oil on hands a bit oily, just after not washing my hair 1 night. So i wash my hair and condition every night. is washing and conditning every night like this bad. ok second question, How will i get my hair all even when it gets longer. Like right now it looks like in the back im growing a mullet. Should i get the back just cutt off so it can be even with everything else or what. Im lost on all of this. Wish I new friends at school that have long hair to talk about this with. Well I guess if i did i wouldent want to grow my hair out then. I just like to be a little more different then most others at my school. Also my hair is really thick. For some reason i just relized i kinda look like shaggy from scooby doo, a little longer though. Well thanks for your help
You sound like you have hair like mine!
I shampoo and condition every morning shower. Use any conditioner that doesn't leave build-up or cycle the conditioners. I may skip a day or two on the weekends.
Get your hair cut in layers... Just tell the stylist you're trying to grow it out and want to avoid the mullet, they'll know what to do. ;-)
Consider using something like V05 wax to control the hair while it's growing out. It'll keep your hair weighted a bit, hopefully help the Shaggy look.
Man, you sound like me. ;-) A few more months.

Sounds like we are alike too. My step daughter told me I looked like shaggy the other day. I have asked some of the same questions here. Washing frequency, what to use, etc. Hope we get some answers.
