I still use TJ brand tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner , shampoo every 5-6 days and a condition everyday. Twice a week I will use the Aussie “moist” conditioner just to keep my hair on its toes. I only brush with a wide tooth comb after i get out of the shower. I scrunch some water out and finish with a little Cantu leave in conditioner and scrunch as dry as possible.
Also, all of yalls hair is still really pretty!
Ryo Deep Cleansing! I have very fine and thin hair, so my hair gets oily quickly throughout the day and I have to shampoo nearly every night (I have tried shampooing less and just doing dry shampoo, but it doesn't work for me, sorry!) This stuff allows me to maybe skip daily hairwashing if I'm not outside/sweaty, and it's cut down on natural hair loss as well (noticed less drain clogging over time). It's really a great shampoo if you have oily and thin hair.
If you have slightly thicker hair, the red bottle is marketed as damaged/anti-hair loss but I found that it was just more conditioning/better hair health overall. I just prefer the tingly clean feeling from the green bottle, personally!
The products I have been using are just the Devacurl brand. I use their No poo shampoo and conditioner. I really let the conditioner sit in my hair for a bit and then I'll turn my head upside down and shake my head to allow my curls to fluff while wet. I always rinse like 90 percent of the conditioner out but keep my hair heavily watered down. Then I apply B leave in curl boost with my head upside down and just stroke my hair on the outside while applying it and not running my fingers through my hair. When you do this grab all your hair from the bottom and crunch it toward your scalp to make your curls bouncy. The last step is with devacurl light defining gel and you apply it just as you would the last step but I don't do the crunching technique. When you get out of the shower use a white cotten shirt and dry your hair by just letting it absorb the water instead of shaking your hair trying to dry it. I sometime will then use a diffuser to dry it depending on what I'm doing but it is summer here so going outside drys it fast enough. I'll add some links to products and a video that helped me out. Also sorry for the poor sentence structure, I'm a carpenter not a English major.

Mane 'n Tail! (Warning, not CG!)
Nobody I know tried this but maybe it would make your wife's hair better.
I use OGX Shampoo and Conditioner
It was recommended to me on this sub a while back and I have used it for 6 months ish. Affordable and I like the smell and it keeps my hair extremely soft
Happy Flowing :)
R O U T I N E
Everyone knows horses use [Mane and Tail.] (http://www.amazon.com/Mane-Tail-Shampoo-Conditioner-32-Ounce/dp/B0046KG8DS)
I suggest you see a dermatologist. You said you saw your GP about this issue, but she never identified the issue. I think a dermatologist would be able to help you more. It's difficult to give any helpful product recommendations without knowing what exactly your skin is reacting to (i.e., which product ingredients).
In the mean time, you can try the free and clear shampoo and conditioner. They're specifically designed for people with reactive skin.
For controlling the frizz, try using a gel. Apply it to your hair when it's wet, but not dripping wet. You said you're using a cream, but creams help moisture and define your curls; they don't provide the best hold or frizz protection. A gel would be better suited to minimizing frizz.
Serapie works well for me.
Conditioner also.
Get this product called Nizoral shampoo (linked below), it has ketoconazole in it (you can read up on it) which doctors prescribe similar stronger ketoconazole products to people with excess dandruff that cannot be controlled. Use it like every two or three days for about 6-8 weeks, you can use conditioner every day though. After that, I would recommend a natural shampoo and conditioner that contains a lot different oils such as argan oil.
 
Also really important, people who shampoo their hair everyday especially with products such as Head & Shoulders which contain ingredients such as sulfate (which is terrible for your scalp, companies just use these ingredients because they are cheap. They couldn't give a sht about what happens to your scalp.) are stripping all the natural oils which your hair/scalp needs at least a little bit of, drying your scalp excessively which also causes dandruff, and also making yourself more prone to baldness. Read up on the no shampoo method which is basically you use shampoo ever two or three days, but you can still use conditioner every day. I've linked a page below if you're interested.
 
Oh one more thing....
For the love of god, please stop using two in one shampoo and conditioners because it doesn't work! Think about it, shampoo is supposed to strip stuff out while conditioner is supposed to put nutrients back in. How the fck can one product do these two things at once. It's obviously just a way for the company to scam you into buying that product because you think you are getting the better deal. Just buy separate shampoos and conditioners, I've linked below the products that I'm currently using if you want some reference. You could buy that or other products that have similar ingredients.
 
You can ask me any questions if you have some.

If you follow what I've written here, I expect you to come back in a few weeks in order to thank me for giving away all my secrets and for changing your life for the better.
1st picture: Blue & Red mask. I think blue is deep whitening and red is moisturizing. If you don't purchase any masks online, might be worthwhile to get a box to try.
3rd: 2 bottles in the middle are Sana Soymilk cleansers. I've used it before, for me it feels pretty gentle. Not particularly strong scented either. The 4th picture also has this brand.
4th/5th/6th: Hada Labo milky lotion, etc. A lot of other people already explained this so I'm gonna skip this. This brand is super popular on this subreddit.
7th: I'd skip this row. The shampoo/conditioner is on amazon.
Last few: Kracie Naive this is i guess their equivalent to the Dove brand (commodity-ish). Skip the shampoo/conditioner, it's not very moisturizing in my opinion. The peach body wash does smell very good however. If you like the smell and want to splurge a little, try it!
I buy fragrance free products by and large. Here are those I use:
Outside of cologne, the only scented products I use are Ultra Swim shampoo and conditioner, as I swim laps most mornings to start my day and my hair would get fried by chlorine otherwise.
The trick with wearing cologne every day is to apply just enough that people can only smell it if they are close enough to hug you. It depends on how many layers you are wearing, how and where you apply the cologne and the strength of the scent you're wearing.
Art Naturals Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner Set (2 x 16 Oz) - Sulfate Free - Volumizing & Moisturizing, Gentle on Curly & Color Treated Hair,For Men & Women Infused with Keratin https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BFKIJ06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_PNPxzbCESQNW6
This is the one I use leaves my hair very soft and moisturized.
I’ve been hunting around myself and after some trial and error have settled on this brand . Not only has it worked really well (hair is soft and silky smooth) it smells sooo good.
I don’t know much about hair oils but I’ve been using jojoba oil for my scalp and it works wonders. Also doubles as a great face moisturizer.
Mane 'n Tail
For gods sake, have it done professionally and spend the money to have it done at a good place. Bleaching black hair all the way to platinum blond can leave you with a head full of straw that forms itself into dreads every night. Also, ask your stylist questions about shampoo and conditioner and really listen. If your hair is thick you may consider using Mane and Tail Shampoo. It’s really good for thicker, coarser hair and it costs far less than salon brands. We all swore by it in the grunge years. Post before and after photos! I’d love to see the results!
For K beauty, I really like the Ryo Korean Herbal Anti hair loss shampoo and conditioner! They’re relatively cheap for being a good shampoo and conditioner set and they smell great.
Here’s an amazon link: Ryoe Korean Herbal Anti Hairloss Damaged Hair Shampoo Conditioner Each 500ml https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K7FQD7W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zD9mDbC9DFS64
For non-Korean hair care, I really like the Tresemme Anti Breakage Shampoo and Conditioner. I find that most shampoos really dry out my hair and pull it out. This Tresemme shampoo is clarifying but also softens my hair at the same time. It’s even cheaper than the Ryo one! It’s $4 for 28oz of shampoo!
Etude 3 layer cotton puff I used to like the muji 4 layered ones, but last few orders were really hard to separate and bulky. Etude you really quite small squares in small box but they are more like singles. You don't have to separate. If you are doing lotion masks - do NOT get these. They are too small. If you are just applying acids (I think and don't need a big wipe, it's great. The box is small it takes up less room. Cotton Labo is similar and bigger square and prretty easy to seaparte and comes in a box (stores better).
Magic Bang Squares It's great if you have gangs. They are velcro squares and really hold your bangs back. They aren't cute and look stupid. There are cuter ones, but these work better. I have thick bangs. I like them my bands out of my face while masking. The Etude kitten ears are too tight and hair bands mess up my hair more. Work as ace bandage clasps too.
Kai Razors: Are like Tinkles but sharper and more durable. A lot better. They have a buch of styles.
Ryeo Herbal Shampoo & Rinse Damaged Hair: very hangbang smell. Not a lot of lather, which I like. It does make scalp feel nice and your hair is soft. I got the damaged hair one. I have thick coarse, dry, wavy hair that is dyed.
Yep, using conditioner without shampoo first. I didn't know this for a long time, it makes sense once you try it out but I promise it makes a big difference (did for me anyway!)
edit: and on the talk of natural shampoo, I developed pretty bad eczema a few years ago and had to cut out all sulfates, I switched to Trader Joe's Nurish Spa shampoo/conditioner. Linked below for reference, only $2.99 at TJ's
http://www.amazon.com/Trader-Joes-Nourish-Moisturizing-Conditioner/dp/B0040BY45W
Boom
I've been very pleased with this stuff after succumbing to some flash deal temptation because I really enjoy argan-oil products in my hair.
Personally, I shampoo every Wednesday and Saturday (unless my hair is feeling incredibly grimy). I condition pretty much everyday. Sometimes, if I hadn't worked out or had a relaxing day, I'll just use water.
I use argan oil on days where I plan on styling/applying heat to my hair.
For shampoo/conditioner (and body-wash), I use Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle. No sulfates & it has some essential oils too!
I've been doing this method for about a year now and I can't rave about it enough. My hair feels & looks amazing now!
Edit: That Amazon price is ridiculous. If you have an actual TJ's near you, $3.99 per bottle.
Basically This.
Good shot. Are there any other oils you use?
Argan oil is the most exotic of those four, and thus most expensive. It's worth every penny though. I wouldn't bother with products that have trace amounts of it and then advertise it prominently on the label. Just buy pure Argan oil. The bottle I have comes with a dropper and I spread it on my face and beard. The conditioning effect it has on your skin and hair should be immediately obvious.
Rosemary oil -- I use this shampoo & conditioner from Trader Joe's:

Personally I would occasionally rinse off after wards, but I instead used this shampoo and conditioner when I would shower at home. As for my swim cap since I'm a guy I usually don't use a swim cap when I practice, but I do wet my hair before putting it on at a meet. Although for the women on the team they would either put it into a bun, or a pony tail then flip it onto their head when putting the cap on. but yea definitely check out those shampoos!
I use Mane n Tail. Technically made for horses but they figured out it works great for people too. Especially for the problem described above. I use the conditioner leave-in (directions on can, but basically I put it in after I shower). Be careful not to use this shampoo too much; I never use it more than three times a week at this point. You should definitely take it slow with the shampoo, but the conditioner is key: you experiment with how much grease/conditioner (same thing for like 12 hours after you shower) you want in your hair to obtain the perfect level of greasiness/dryness
think about your shampoo/conditioner and also the detergent you wash sheets with. i started making my own detergent and switched to this shampoo and conditioner to nail down my skin triggers a few years ago. https://www.amazon.com/Free-Clear-Set-Shampoo-12-Conditioner-12/dp/B00164E8TI
Morning Routine:
Take shower. Use conditioner [1] on beard as well as hair. Shampoo/condition early in shower, allow conditioner to soak in while washing body. Rinse conditioner out of hair as the LAST THING you do.
Apply day cream [2] to non-shaved areas of my face before shaving to lock in shower moisture. Use liberally, allow to soak into skin over shave.
Head straight to sink, apply MR GLO [3] to wet face by rubbing the bar on my whiskers, massage in with fingers (no washrag) for ~30 sec with hot water. Rinse 70% of it off, leaving no lather but keeping the slickness.
Normal lather/shave [4].
Rinse, pat dry, apply Witch Hazel [5] with Cotton Rounds. Let sit while I clean up the sink.
Rub in mostly dried off WH, apply Nivea Sensitive Post-Shave Balm [6].
Evening Routine:
Take shower.
While conditioning hair, use gentle exfoliant [7] on face (daily).
Leave shower, pat face dry, apply extra hydrating night cream [8] to face.
Add extra body lotion [9] to behind ears, back of neck, and other dry areas like elbows, knees, shoulders. Dry neck and behind the ears is not to be neglected.
Use Retinol anti-aging night cream [10] on areas to prevent wrinkles, such as smile lines, crow's feet, under eyes, and forehead. A little goes a long way.
Sleep, repeat.
Note: I'm only 27, but you can never start anti-aging skincare too young. I wish I would've started it sooner. If I would have started this regimen at 18, I might not have the hint of crow's feet that I do. Remember that, you young'ins. It's expensive, but your face will thank you later.
Products Used:
edit: it should be noted that I shave daily. Even sundays, haha. I avoid trouble spots ATG, where I'm prone to sensitivity, mostly the bottom half of my neck, where I only ATG one small patch by my Adam's apple. The skin is tougher there.
double edit: Don't worry about being Bateman. You almost never find someone who has a beautiful face that doesn't put in that much effort. A few of my friends (San Francisco, mind you) use concealer and a light facial powder to get rid of some shine and even out color, myself included on occasion. You can hardly tell if you use Physician's Formula mineral powder as a very light coat. Nobody will ever know, and you'll be WAY more attractive. Not kidding you, the stuff is invisible, but does its job.
I guarantee you, especially famous people wear makeup all the time so they can be photo-ready. Normal plebians like you and I are no exception.
Black girl here! I have thick, curly hair that is at my armpit when stretched. I wash my hair with shampoo about once a month, and when I do, I use the Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle shampoo. It's sulfate-free, so not an absolute disaster for black hair. It's also cheaper in-store.
Thank you!
Kracie's Ichikami line features amaaaaazing hair conditioners. For reference, I have a mix of 3C/4A curly hair, so I love light conditioners that don't weigh down my hair, but leave it feeling smooth.
This used to be my go-to: https://www.amazon.com/Ichikami-Herbal-Rice-Bran-Hair/dp/B003SFWCKK
I have an oily scalp so I'd mix a little tea tree oil in with the shampoo and my hair/scalp was soooo happy back then.
If you like dry shampoo, I recommend Shiseido Ma Cherie Perfect Shower. It's not a dry shampoo per se, but that's the closest US-equivalent I can think of. I really liked this stuff for when I wanted to do high ponytails, buns, and updos of that sort. :)
I've also tried the Honeyce Moisture Repair shampoo and conditioner set, and that was also really nice. I let a friend borrow some once, and she seemed to get way better results than me. She said it left her hair feeling bouncy. I mostly liked it for the scent though. :)
Lastly, if you want to try a treatment, I recommend this: https://www.amazon.com/KAO-Essential-Intensive-Treatment-Conditioner/dp/B002TUXRBI
It adds great shine and left my hair feeling sooooooft. The only thing that's ever made my hair feel that soft was/is Ion's Color Defense conditioner. :) Hope this was informative!
No problem.
I had some issues where I kept changing something in it and messing all my progress up. Been doing much better now that I realized I was the problem. Seems like a lot in writing, but it really isn't much.
__
AM:
I mainly use the kojac sponge because it cuts down on me picking the flacky skin off my face which tended to be the gateway to me picking acne or peeling off scabs.
__
PM:
(I do my face wash last step in the shower even though places tend to recommend against it because of the heat; if I turned up the heat a lot during my shower, I turn it down to wash my face. It seemed to me that I used more heat in the sink after showering since my hands can stand heat better than the rest of my body.)
__
Shower details:
I use shampoo/conditioner that doesn't contain sulfates. I know my one friend realized that sulfates in her shampoo were likely what was causing her back to break out. I use this which is expensive but it lasts me a year even though I tend to overuse it.
I also wash in the following order: shampoo, conditioner (leave in), private areas with water, wash my hands with my body soap (Dr. Bronner's), then my shoulders/back before any other part since that seemed to cut down on back acne as well. Last, in order, I wash my armpits, groin (not the inside of genitals, I mean my groin pit?? [Where my leg bends] I cover my genitals to keep soap out of that area.), feet. Then I rinse out the conditioner and do my face wash routine.
Edit: Also forgot to mention that I avoid letting soap sit on my skin. Trial and error seems to show that that causes me to breakout as well so I rinse it off as I go.
I don't change my pillowcase every night but I flip them. I have two pillows I sleep on and I sleep once on each before changing the pillowcase.
____
I would definitely recommend changing one thing or adding one thing at a time and patch testing if you can.
__
ETA: If your acne is severe, I'd still recommend a dermatologist when you can go. Or maybe talking to your primary doctor even. My HRT prescriber, for my acne, prescribed me Doxycycline and Tretinoin at one point. I don't use either, currently, but you can try using a non-dermatologist if you don't have any other option.
Edit2: Clarified some minor things.
As you can see, there's an absence of Asian beauty products simply because I'm on a "naturally-derived" kick again and when it comes to body stuff I like it to be inexpensive and easily accessible. All the Acure Organics and Andalou Naturals stuff I get I can buy at a local grocery store. Special stuff like bath salts or treatments I like to order since Japanese bath salts are always the best.
Ultra swim. When I was younger, I had blonde hair that would turn green in the chlorine. This washed it out and made it feel nice.
Ultra swim
It was literally called free and clear. amazon link here. I'm pretty sure it's not sulfate free but it was recommended by my derm and was on my allowed product list (i also had eczema on my eyelids so I had to completely remove all fragrance from my routine and wanted to be safe).
I've also used jessicurl's no fragrance added products and they were fine for me but they do have some added oils and watnot that may irritate. If you're looking to go fragrance free make sure the product says fragrance free and not just scent free or unscented because those products can still have masking fragrances which can also cause reactions.
How about a Ketoconazole shampoo, like this...
ニゾラール
Shampoo: purador argan oil premium organic shampoo
Conditioner: Tresemme perfectly (un)done
I don't comb my hair other than a big thick one, and I normally let air dry or use a diffuser. I only shampoo once a week.

Thank you for this contest :)
Hi!! Nice to meet you :)
Thanks for the contest!
Someone in this sub recommended this one (Free & Clear) for me. But As far as lists go, I'm not aware of one.
I "need" this shampoo and conditioner. I really don't, but since I'm a poor student I have to be very frugal with my health/beauty products, and it's great to have some on hand so I don't have to fret c:
http://www.amazon.com/Clairol-Shimmer-Lights-Shampoo-Conditioner/dp/B0046KFZC8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1HDUAZPRVGF3T&coliid=I3U7KQA9SP2FPV
I want to soak in a hot tub!
Head on over to r/curlyhair. The Curly Girl method, which is what we use over there, requires using sulfate and silicone free hair products. So if you are looking for that kind of product, that's where you want to look because the sidebar has a link to a giant list of sulfate-free hair products, including shampoos, conditioners, styling products, and much more. My brand of choice is Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner (any version works awesome for me but this is my favorite), which can be bought on Amazon for like $12 a bottle or $20 for a set, and styling products are similarly priced. There are cheaper options out there, too, if you're on a tight budget.
Bonus points if you actually have curly hair because the CGM is honestly fucking amazing. I was skeptical at first but finally tried it about 2 months ago and it has changed the way I view, care for, and style my hair and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.
Good luck!
No idea, don't live there. Although I hope you can, as I'm gonna be visiting the UK in the next couple weeks. If you find out that it is available there, please let me know, as I'm not expecting the travel-sized bottles I'm bringing with me to last too long.
EDIT: Looks like you can get it on Amazon, at least.

Good on your for not shampooing every single day! (daily shampooing is very drying). Slightly higher quality shampoo/conditioner could be really helpful. I used suave when I was a kid, and it always made my hair feel dry and course. (I use organix. Sulfate free and you can get it cheaper at walmart!). Also, a leave in conditioner or curl cream could help tame some of the frizz and make your hair lay a bit smoother.
I find that Art Naturals products are great for colored hair, I get the Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner
I have tried so many shampoos in my 42 years, this one is my #1 for color treated. Also I recommend every other week a deep conditioning treatment such as this argan Oil hair mask from Art Naturals. Depending on how often you actually have to shampoo your hair, a colored hair butter treatment can help keep your color peppy in between salon appointments. The only one I have experience with is: Joico Intensity Color Butter - I have a few more products that are awesome that I can't recall off the top of my head. I can look them up later today (4:45am now) when I've had a chance to sleep! Cheers!
Yeah sure, but before taking anything concern your family doctor or dermatologist first. Because every hair is different, sometimes its just your diet or something else.
I have androgenic alopecia (heredity) that's why it works for me.

Update: did some more research, saw palmetto with beta sitosterol and basil extract work wonders for hair folicles, increase the hair growth and strengthen the folicles
One of the best things (for me) about DevaCurl is that they sell lots of mini versions of things. If shipping isn't too absurd, you might start off with their basic trial kit (no poo / one condition / light hold gel / second-day spray) -- when my hair was low porosity, this was basically all I needed, and they're still my favorite of their products.
Ultra Swim is one of the best. I just buy the shampoo, but they have other products too. I haven't tried them so I can't tell you if they are good or not, but the shampoo is for sure.
There is also a brand called Malibu that I've used that I also really like.
The price actually regularly fluctuates! Right now it's £65 again. Stock seems to fluctuate quite a bit for those of us getting them through the UK. This being said, I wholeheartedly support what has been said above: buying the 32oz bottles makes it a very affordable product.
Fanola? or Shimmer Lights?
I have started using Trader Joe's Shampoo and Conditioners. I shampoo every other day, and condition everyday. I have been using Burt's Bees Hand Salve in my beard in the mornings for a leave in conditioner.
I just last night used a hot oil treatment of Honey, and Jojoba, and Sesame Oil last night. It was a mess to put on, but I can tell it is softer.

As others have said, wear a swim cap. I swim for three hours six days a week and wearing a swim cap made a huge difference to how my hair felt. Wetting your hair prior to getting into the pool can make things better as well. Also, you could look into buying a dechlorinating shampoo like this one: (http://www.amazon.com/UltraSwim-Chlorine-Removal-Shampoo-7-Ounce-Bottles/dp/B001ET76OO). Hope this helps.
I'm not sure I'm an authority on what is "safe" but here's what I use:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BFKIJ06/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage
Though I remain confused as to how often I should use shampoo vs conditioner.
My hairs the same way and I'm just starting the process of growing my hair out a second time. Before I cut it the first time I just sorta figured out to not shampoo every day and experimented how long I could go without it. On top of that, I did condition just about every day and made sure I slowly air-dried it. With wavy hair, I always felt that drying my hair way too quickly always caused the poofiness.
And I have no idea if this will help, but I just switched to this shampoo & conditioner. It's been great about preventing significant "poofiness" while my hair's in the awkward phase currently, but I can't comment on how it would work with long hair. When mine was long I usually used the OGX Argan Oil of Morocco shampoo & conditioner and that did a decent job from what I recall.
Hope this helps!
It's these guys http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SFWCKK?keywords=ichikami%20rice%20bran&qid=1452978249&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
they were 14$ each ____ the cheapeast one on Amazon.CA is 65$ for one bottle. Part of me regrets not buying multiples lol just in case.
Man has decided to nap all day instead. Blah!
these two bottles here took my waves to a new level.
you can probably google for a good product that u trust, you could also try this:

I have long curly hair, and I really like the shampoo and the conditioner Deva Curl make. I use the shampoo about twice a week as needed and the conditioner daily. The shampoo doesn't lather and it's called no-poo so I'm not sure it's technically a real shampoo. It's also the kind of conditioner that you can leave in after a shower if you want, but I've never tried that. Also, pomade after every shower helps reduce friziness and encourage those big, thick Kit Harrington locks.

Absolutely loving this stuff! I can use conditioner when using this product, my hair is soft, and not greasy.

hope this helps!
Hi.
You seem to have the same hair texture as me, very stubborn and difficult to manage and can get very frustrating.
Any cheap conditioner will do- I prefer Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner with Peppermint for co-wash as it lathers really well and makes my hair squeaky clean.
This is what works for me and its made my hair manageable, soft and very healthy:
Shampoo hair once a month with organix hair shampoo does not strip or dry my hair, but there are other cheaper shampoos you can use.
co wash with Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner with Peppermint twice or three times a week. Be generous with this,
always use a widetooth comb, you can get this at walmart
Cantu leave in conditioner works wonders in keeping my hair soft and moistened, i apply this after patting my hair dry then i use coconut oil (my hair loves this as its light but easily absorbed) to lock the conditioner in and cream of your choice, shea products work better for my hair type.
I deep condition my hair every other week or once a month just before i wash with shampoo, either i do the deep oil conditioner (olive oil, jojoba, castor oil with tea tree oil) or the mayo route.
Go to you tube and type in taking care of natural 4b/4c hair and there are lots of tips there.
As i mentioned this is my routine and it took a lot of tries but i finally found something that worked and most importantly did not break the bank.
I've been using this as my offday/prewash shampoo for awhile http://amazon.com/PURA-DOR-Prevention-Premium-Organic/dp/B0079R6BD2/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1463682484&sr=8-2&keywords=pura+d%27or It says it contains natural DHT blockers like argan oil and no SLS which can cause excessive drying. Works well, nice and foamy and not too dry.
They also have a 1% keto version (Gold label) which I don't use since I have a 2% prescription and 1% Regenpure.
Fortunately keto doesn't dry out my scalp/hair too much so I usually do something like
Not drugstore, but $20 on amazon for both shampoo and conditioner, Clairol Shimmer Lights works amazing to keep away brassy/yellow tones and stay platinum/silver/blue.
You have type 3c or 4a hair, but the photo is kind of blurry.
The Roots Naturelle Virgin Hair Fertilizer Conditioning Treatment is pretty good for growing hair. When I tried it once my hair literally grew overnight, but I also used it with an argan oil condtioner. A lot of people on this sub use that argan oil shampoo, argan oil supposedly grows you hair.
How do you detangle your hair? You should do it wet, with a detangler or leave in. Start at the ends of your hair and slowly work you way up. Kinky Curly makes the best detangler out there IMO, and they also have a hard water shampoo, gel and hair oil.
Mane and Tail Herbal Gro is a cheap hair growing shampoo that's petty popular with people who have curly hair. It works for me just as well as the argan oil shampoo, however it sometimes gives me acne.
Try putting a shower cap on when you sleep. It keeps the moisture from escaping and can help grow you hair. It also keeps your hair from getting messed up, you only need to wash it once every week or once every couple of days. Some people wash with conditioner every couple of days or every week but "clarify" with shampoo once a month.
Also you should check out r/blackhair if you don't already know about that sub. They might be able to help with protective styles and other junk. I'm just assuming you're black because of your use of the term "big chop" which means you hair takes relaxer. I see a lot of people over there transitioning to natural hair. Although admittedly most of the users are teenaged boys asking what a fade is.
Edit: Oh also take some Biotin
Maybe try buying their [travel set] (http://www.amazon.com/DevaCurl-Deva-Curl-Travel-Kit/dp/B000QSDHPG) to see if you like the product? I got it for around $30 I believe.
I would definitely see a dermatologist.
It could even be something like eczema or psoriasis with the itching. They can cause flakes too with the patches of dry skin.
Edit:
If you want to you could try a shampoo with salicylic acid in it, such as this. That's what I've been suggested from my derm when I had a patch of psoriasis on my scalp.
So I was recently given this: MG217 Psoriasis 3% Salicylic Acid Shampoo and Conditioner - a Psoriasis, Seborrheic Dermatitis and Dandruff Treatment, 8 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ETWZYYQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_QQkYAb4B4H41E
Also have my eye on these: Dermarest Psoriasis Medicated Shampoo & Conditioner, Salicylic Acid 3%, Soothing Zinc Complex, fragrance free formula helps remove scales and control scalp build ups. (Pack of 6) Packaging may vary https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002OHE7RO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dSkYAbV75SG1V
Are either of these viable options? Thank you so much!
Ultraswim chlorine removal shampoo. That's all I have to say.
I've always been able to hear the beeping from my trusty timex iron man watch. That may work for you. I use Ultraswim Shampoo and it works like gang-busters. Just be sure to give it a good shake before you use it.

Shiseido Aquair Moist Hair Pack Naoshi Essence
Even just using this alone is super helpful. My hair is super soft even a day later.
I've been really wanting to try the Ryoe Korean Herbal Anti Hairloss Damaged Hair Shampoo & Conditioner but I need to finish my current products.
DevaCurl when I can afford it, L'Oreal EverCurl or Organix when I can't afford DevaCurl. :)
Have you tried Free & Clear?
Know I missed the hair/fragrance thread yesterday, but I recently discovered I have a minor allergy to fragrance and need to find fragrance free shampoo and conditioner. I've tried Free and Clear but I don't particular like it. I know of other fragrance free shampoo, like this one, but I don't really want to spend $25+ only to not like it. Anyone recommend a brand or specific product that won't also break the bank?
This stuff is miraculous My grandma used to get it for me and it was the only shampoo and conditioner that worked. I have very dry and frizzy hair. I also use an argan oil heat protectant before I blow dry or straighten it. It helps it stay shiny and soft.
Dude m, I used to have dry scalp to no end! I switched to this shampoo, and it solved all of my problems.
https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AF%E3%83%88%E3%82%BB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%94%E3%82%A8-serapie-%E3%80%90%E5%8C%BB%E8%96%AC%E9%83%A8%E5%A4%96%E5%93%81%E3%80%91%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AF%E3%83%88%E3%82%BB%E3%83%A9%E3%83%94%E3%82%A8-%E8%96%AC%E7%94%A8%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B1%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A3%E3%83%B3%E3%83%97%E3%83%BC/dp/B001ET6528
I'm not sure it matters that it's -this- conditioner, but for whatever reason punk kids where i lived in the '90s used it. If you put it in and don't rinse it out it sort of gives that wet clumpy look all day. But it might just do the same thing with any conditioner. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
https://www.amazon.com/Mane-Tail-Shampoo-Conditioner-32-Ounce/dp/B0046KG8DS/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1481647287&sr=8-2&keywords=horse+mane+and+tail
100% sure he uses that Mane N Tail on his beard.
This is great advice! I want to second the sulfate- and alcohol-free routine (which will hopefully help in both the long- and short-term) and to share some other things that may help treat your current flare up.
In the short-term, if the ketaconazole isn't clearing up your scalp quickly enough, I suggest spot treating the seb derm bumps/lesions with an OTC anti-fungal cream and/or BHA (like PC 2% BHA liquid). I find this really helps speed up the healing process.
Long-term, I've seen major improvement from switching to Free & Clear shampoo and conditioner. I stopped using sulfates but still experienced stubborn flare-ups. I ultimately identified cocamidopropyl betaine (which is in practically all shampoos!) as another ingredient that aggravated my scalp.
I also make sure to rinse my hair really well to ensure no residue is left behind in the shower and try not to sleep with my hair/scalp wet (especially that serb derm-prone back area).
If you don't wash your hair daily, I'd suggest doing so until the condition clears up. Once cleared, you may be able to go back to washing less frequently.
If you use an aerosol dry shampoo on the days you don't wash, I'd suggest switching to a non-aerosol option like Mineral Fusion dry shampoo. I rarely use hairspray, but I got one from Giovanni at Whole Foods that's alcohol-free. It works just as well as anything else, imo.
Seb derm is a chronic condition and often flares more in the winter, so you'll generally want to wash with medicated shampoo at least once a week after the flare's ended to help prevent its recurrence. However, I've been able to stay flare-free for months using the gentle, un-medicated shampoo/dry shampoo options listed above. My scalp is less oily than its ever been and much much calmer. I think that the ingredients in most hair products can be kinda harsh and make it easier for seb derm to thrive on damaged scalp skin (similar to how a damaged moisture barrier can facilitate breakouts on the face). Hope that helps!
I'm not religious about it. I'll grab something that's oil-based and free of sulfates and parabens. Right now I have this generic CVS version of this.
I'm not opposed to traditional shampoos for others, my hair is just very dry.
If I didn't use it, my hair used to turn green! I believe this is the stuff I used to use, but it's been a long time and the packaging has changed so I'm not entirely sure.
Awesome! Can you PM me your blog link so I can read it once its ready? :) Btw, which one do you mean exactly? There's this one and this one and this one..
Hey! I can’t exactly tell from these pictures, but I have horrible dry scalp and what has helped immensely is tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AIVMQ8O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yrXXCbKPMQAAX
I let the shampoo sit for about a minute before rinsing and the conditioner for about 3-5 minutes, the tingling sensation is lovely. It takes away the horrible itch.
I’ve used it just to try it and they smell great n all that but I’ve got enough natural shine to my beard that any balm or oils makes it looks wet/oily and tends to undo the correction curl. All I use is mane n tail shampoo and conditioner (for horses)
I just ordered this shampoo and conditioner after seeing it recommended on /r/haircarescience. Reviews are fantastic, so I'm holding out hope. I'm growing my hair out again, but it's fine and thin, and I shed A LOT, so I'm hoping it works as well as people say it does.
Dry Scalp Help: Feel Like I have Tried Everything
​
I believe I have dry scalp and have tried many different things to try and alleviate it with no avail. I believe it is dry scalp because I never had a problem with until I started Accutane which is for Acne which basically dries you out really bad.
​
My routine is I wash my hair every other/ other other day. I never had an issue with dry scalp until I was prescribed Accutane a few years back. I used to have very oily hair and would wash my hair every day.
​
I have tried many different products: tea tree oil shampoo and conditioners, sulfate-free shampoos, an argan oil deep conditioner / ACV rinse as well as others.
​
Here are links to some products I have tried in the past

Any suggestions that could help!? Thanks!
Tea tree oil is a potential. I'm using this shampoo currently, it has helped my scalp. I have very sensitive skin and am prone to dandruff. It's not cheap, but I have been happy with it.
I myself faced the problem of thinning and premature graying of hair in my 20s. So from my personal experience, I would recommend:
PURA D’OR Original Gold Label Shampoo and Conditioner
With ingredients like Moroccan Argan Oil, Red Korean Seaweed and exotic plant-based formula, PURA D’OR Original Gold Label Anti-Hair Thinning Shampoo and Conditioner is clinically proven and tested to reduce hair loss. Its 17 DHT blocker helps with thinning hair, increase volume, and reduce breakage.
​
As a beauty editor, we recently did an extensive research and test on what shampoos and conditioners work for what type of hair. So based on that I suggest Pura D'or.
​
I'm looking forward to knowing your hair story after using this shampoo-conditioner duo :)
I buy this duo: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014I5HJXI
The scent is pleasant but a bit strong and it doesn't really make my hair squeaky clean like shampoos with SLS do, but if that's the tradeoff for no giant flakes coming off everytime I touch my scalp, totally worth it.
Interestingly I also get mouth sores when I use toothpaste with SLS, so maybe it's an allergy for me.
Edit: So you know before you try to copy my strategy.. comparing to other people I know with dandruff, I'm not sure that's what I had. Mine was less tiny white bits and more larger, slightly yellow (I'm sorry this is so grosssss) and didn't dislodge without some physical contact, and then looked kind of red and irritated on the skin underneath.
You can look into anti hair loss shampoo and conditioner https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K7FQD7W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Shea moisture is what I use. Nice clean ingredients https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B014I5HJXI/ref=mp_s_a_1_12_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1538491086&sr=8-12&keywords=shea+moisture
Has anyone here used the Ichikami Herb and Rice Bran shampoo and conditioner (non-affiliate link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SFWCKK/ref=s9_simh_gw_g194_i1_r?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1N0QAMYWND9Q3A95KWY8&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2437869742&pf_rd_i=desktop)? Does it really smell as amazing as all the Amazon reviews say it does?
If anyone wants to talk me out of this, please do. I just bought like a quart each of my favorite shampoo and conditioner, but it's late March, the blossoms are coming out, and I want my hair to smell like cherry blossoms, dammit!
So my story is, I've been doing baking soda/apple cider vinegar washes once a week for about 2.5 years now. Yesterday I sort of came-to and realized how brittle and straw-like my hair feels. I was looking in the mirror and a lot of hairs around my roots seem like they're even stripped of color (I'm only 22 so not going grey... I hope).
So of course I hopped on the internet and read a few blogs of women who'd experienced the same slow decline in hair health due to BS/ACV. I quickly bought SheaMoisture's Restorative Jamaican Castor Oil [shampoo & conditioner] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0157K2GZO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and hair mask. Afterwards, I discovered this sub and the concept of co-wash, which intrigues me.
At any rate, the SheaMoisture stuff I bought doesn't have sulfates or parabens or silicones, but it does have castor oil (obviously) and rice protein. My question is: what's so bad about castor oil and protein?
Just for reference, I have really thick, frizzy, mid porosity?, 2c hair.
Tl;dr Destroyed hair with long term BS/ACV use, got new product with castor oil & protein, wondering how it is bad for my hair.
Happy cake day! I also used to use the Shea Moisture African Black Soap until it became hard to find. I've been using this tea tree shampoo and conditioner by Maple Holistics for a while and I really like it.
Amazon.co.uk. The price has gone up since I first bought them (it was originally about £60 for the both of them), but it's now £70 and lasted for about 13 months, which comes out to just over £5 x month.
Not exactly to you question, but I don't see how a cap protects you from chlorine.
Just using something like afterwards Ultra Swim
When you swim you want your head down in the water looking straight down, even looking a back (chin closer to chest ... but relaxed) ... so that your head fairly submerged. When you put the swim cap on (how I would do it) you have to 1st fill it with water then put on your head ... this allows for water between you head and cap (nearly no air). If you create an air bubble your head is more buoyant and you will have a much harder time keeping your head down for good swim posture. Or you will get neck ache when you swim for a long period of time.
I use a cap when 1) the pool requires it 2) its very cold and would like to retain some body heat.
As for how good you swim, or what the cap looks like ... who cares what other people think? :) Wear what ever you like, I say!
