Conditioner
I have discovered something new, at least new to me. I'm a guy, white, with very curly hair. I am kinda lazy in not wanting to get haircuts. I have always had my hair short for my about 30 years on this planet. I have decided for the first time to let my hair grow out. It always looks horrible unless I put a gel in it that makes it like concrete or greasier than a Domino's pepperoni pizza. I have discovered something slightly unconventional that is actually working quite well. Super cheap conditioner from Walmart. The $2.00 a bottle cheap. I used it before in the shower and I liked what it did to my hair but the effects seemed to last only for a couple of hours. Now I have started using it almost as a hair gel. I wet my hair in the morning with a little water and rub in a small amount of the conditioner. It has made a world of difference. If I comb my hair in a direction it stays! It doesn't dry out in 2 hours and turn into curl city! I am not using it according to the directions which want me to apply it and wash it out in the shower at the same time but it is making my hair do what I want. I dunno, is this bad or good long term? I am excited I found something that works.
