Not exactly health, but close... HAIR

[Shapoopie]

I'm growing out my hair and I wanted to know what I could do to keep it healthy. I also wanted to know what I could do, like wear a hat, to leave it, like, hidden, i guess, cuz I know gel ruins hair if you're not careful, and I hate gel anyways.

Basically, hair care tips please.

Dont wash it too often with shampoo, max once every three days

Thats for long hair right? I Wash my hair with shampoo once a day and my hair is short. Is this bad?

Use a shampoo that has a conditioner mixed in, like pert plus. I also use a leave-in conditioner that is like a very light gel:

Pert Plus and the Dewplex are both cheap. Some people buy expensive hair stuff, depending on individual preferences, but these work for me.

get a few different brands of shampoos, switch every few days. if you use the same shampoo for too long, your hair will get very, uh, frizzy. i guess that's the word for it.

I pretty much started going bald prematurely from washing it too often with shampoo, irritated itchy scalp etc.. not washing it as often seems to have stopped my hair thinning as well. For long hair I imagine you can apply it more to the hair and less to the scalp which would be fine, the problem seems to be the acids in the shampoos. If you have short hair, warm water should be good and then wash it two to three times a week at the most with shampoo.
