I have observed what he does and questioned him why he didn't wash it every day. He says it strips away too much of the natural oils and makes his hair drier, more prone to breakage. When he's in the shower, he won't always use shampoo first. Water is enough to rinse off dirt and polution and he applies only conditioner and lets it sit a while before rinsing off.
He also always lets it dry on it's own, not using hair driers. He also doesn't brush it out often as that just brings out the frizz. What he does is brush his hair to remove tangles and any loose hair BEFORE showering, then after, gently towels it dry to point it isn't dripping but damp and it dries into the most beautiful waves, curls and ringlets, yes, he gets ringlets and it looks good on him.
I have read somewhere that once in a while, using beer to rinse hair with before showering out or even better, raw egg beaten up and applied to the hair and left on a while before showering out will add much needed protein for the hair. I think it was once a month to do that special type of conditioning.
In the end, the less you handle your hair, the better it will be and look. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
