My hair is dry as hell. Any tips

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

I don't do anything to it outside of washing it and shampooing every blue moon. Is it a way I can do something with putting greasy shyt and oils all in it ? Something quick and simple, not a whole ritual routine

Coconut oil.. Organic not the cooking type

if you're black and you're gonna have long hair you gon need:
Moisturizing shampoo made for black hair
Moisturizing conditioner made for black hair
And some shea butter/extra virgin olive oil.

Wash your hair once or twice a week depending on how you like to do it. Condition your hair whenever it starts getting too greasy but you don't wanna dry it out by washing. Put a mixture of shea butter and olive oil melted together in your hair every night. You can apply liberally at night then run a little water through it in the morning and it won't look greasy.

If you style your hair with gels and shyt get products made for black hair. Natural moisturizing products. Don't put chemicals made for white people in your hair will mess you up.

Most important thing is to use good products that are made to keep black hair healthy. Using that generic suave shyt is always gonna fukk you over.

I have that Palmer's Olive Oil, but it is not conditioning enough for me. I do *love* the olive butter stuff for my skin, though. Heals scrapes/scratches/cuts faster!
Currently using Shea Moisture. Try the raw shea butter line, maybe.

(I use the coconut hibiscus and I don't think a man would want to smell like that.)
Edit: they have a mens line: http://www.sheamoisture.com/Mens-Hair-_c_44.html

Yeah, breh breh. Your hair is dry because you dont condition it. Your shampoo might be too strong too. It strips the oils which lock in the moisture off your hair.

Soo...

Get a sulphate-free shampoo and a conditioner. Use an oil, butter or gel to seal in the water.

Condition at least once a week. Clarify with shampoo as needed.

I second the Men's line from SheaMoisture.

What's conditioning vs washing?

Can I just slap the stuff in in the shower and roll out?

Shampoo is like soap. clarifying just means cleaning.

Conditioners are like lotion. It softens.

If you use a strong soap on your skin without lotion, it will dry out. Which is why conditioners are so important.

You can put the conditioner on, then rinse it off. The best thing to do is to let it sit for a few minutes while you are washing your body, then rinsing everything off at once.

Then after depending on your hair type you can put an oil, butter or gel to seal in the moisture. The general rule is if you have straight/fine hair use lighter/thinner products, if your hair is thicker/more textured you can use heavier/thicker products.
