You mention shampoo, do you also use conditioner? I second the CG method, for sure.
I agree, it is a bit of a hassle at first but once you get into the 'swing' of it - you get used to the burden (lol). You don't need the fancy products, you mentioned sulfate-free, paraben-free, silicone-free - so it sounds like you're on the right track there! They've got a neat list for international CG approved products here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/3/d/e/2PACX-1vTbVtl5RKQyRwtOlctXVt4f8HovDNVjRUkXBMt3l_DpnkSS0Q-wQ3d77_nf20EJ2yPEFpsuvb6Aa52c/pubhtml#
​
Your hair looks wavy - go with it! I honestly think the CG method would make your hair look even greater and bring out those natural waves you've got hidden in there. Don't be afraid of too much conditioner, and try the hair gel too!
The gel will likely leave a 'cast', which can be scrunched (or however you apply it) out with some oil. I prefer to use Argan oil for this personally.
Another tip, because I also deal with dandruff, is maybe try out one of those shower scalp massager/cleaners? I just got a non-electric silicone one and I do not regret it. It doesn't take away all the dandruff, but i noticed it helps a lot in my case. ( I swear i'm not promoting, just sending over what i bought so you know what i'm talking about: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074ZDXFL6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 )
​
[Also, not sure if this needs to be said BUT shampoo is to help clean your scalp, conditioner is for your hair. You don't need to(and shouldn't) condition your scalp, as it will leave build-up. You don't really need to 'shampoo' your "pony-tail hair" (anything under a pony tail), just enough to clean the scalp and hair roots. The rest of your hair will get some shampoo when you clean it out anywho. I know some might disagree, but thats what i've heard and seems to be best for me]
​
Best of luck!
Oh yes definitely. I usually loop the tie around the base twice, and then around the back of the bun once to hold it tight against my head. I also usually pull the ends through the middle of the the bun first so it doesn't come loose. My hair is super heavy.
I've gotten some basic hair sticks at Claire's that have held up pretty well, but my favorites are these costume jewelry ones I found on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IRZ8B9C/ref=mp_s_a_1_11_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1478655305&sr=8-11&keywords=hair+sticks
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BM4GG9C/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There are a bunch like them there. There are also some big hinged barrettes by the same company, and I have a couple, but they don't hold as much hair, so I pretty much just use them to decorate something that's actually secured with bobby pins or a hair tie.
I have one big parrot clip (that might not be the right name, but it looks like a toucan's beak) that I think I got at Walmart, but I actually like the regular sticks a lot better. It takes some practice, but now I think they're a lot easier to work with.
I know this isn't what you asked for at all, but as someone with really really long and thick curly hair I just got this brush recently and really have been enjoying it. It's all wood and the bristles feel great, not crazy expensive, and feels really sturdy. I've broken my last 3 hairbrushes by the handle and I can feel that its not gonna happen with this one. Really happy with it. Also I've heard that wide tooth combs are great? I've never tried them but it might be something to look into.

It’s a piece of cloth or other material that’s kinda like a sock that’s open on both ends, but it’s ponytail sized. (Image: https://www.amazon.com/Wrapter-Hair-Wrap-Red-Size/dp/B00ABZSCHW#immersive-view_1539832457333)
They can be for fashion if you want, they are advertised as for motorcycle riders who don’t want their hair whipping around too much at 65 mph. I NEED them because my hair is getting too long to hide under a hat, and I work in a construction type industry with lots of motors that could rip my head off, glues and pastes that could get in my hair like gum, and a torch that burns pretty hot. Big safety reason. Keeping my hair in something like this makes my job much safer.
I'm a runner with shoulder-length hair. I usually run with a high ponytail using thick no-damage hair ties. 2 loops. If I want it really tight I can do 3 loops but I've noticed that will sometimes take hairs with it, while 2 loops doesn't.
Pro tip: (maybe?) I grab my bluetooth headphones before doing the ponytail and pull wire slack between the buds through, eliminating all of the wire bounce and any clips in one go. Just be careful pulling it out as the rubber (on most I've seen) will grab hairs.
I haven't found any split ends since my last trim about 2 years ago, so I think it's working well.
I've also started hot yoga and have been doing a low pony tail with the same hair ties. I think it's time to get serious about my learning to braid :)
After a workout I comb my hair gently from the bottom up with a wide-tooth comb. Before I shower. If it's really messed up e.g. from a long/hard/wet run, I use too much conditioner and comb that through - again, gently from the bottom up. Most of the time I simply rinse it without products, washing about once a week and conditioning 1 or 2 times as needed.

Thanks for starting the thread. I am also interested in this subject :)
On Amazon! :) I have tried a few brands now, and they each work like a charm for my wavy (normally tangly and frizzy) hair!
Some brands:
Alaska Bear: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CXQZNC8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OK0vDbS0QTH97
Mommesilk: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXSZ736/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iM0vDbA5G5057
And another (cheap) brand not worth mentioning, because it was the first one I bought before I learned about what momme is, and it doesn't mention it anywhere.
Conair Firm Hold Bobby Pins are my go-to - they're longer and much stronger than normal bobby pins and they never slip in my hair (I also have very thick hair that can get slippery). I also use these hair pins for updos - they're better when you're trying to hold thick hair together in something like a bun.
As for styles:
Boars don't die for bristles (though they are certainly not treated too well). The alternative--plastics that do not biodegrade and don't last as long--isn't much better.
The ideal is probably "don't buy brushes" (or anything for that matter) but I don't know if that's feasible on a long hair forum. Wood/bamboo combs are probably the most eco friendly and vegan, but they can be sourced ethically or not. Plastics wind up in our oceans and landfills, destroying other habitats. To my knowledge there's no cruelty-free alternatives to BBB. this one has tepid reviews at best: https://www.amazon.com/Cebra-ethical-skincare-Sisal-Brush/dp/B00BRHN5IY/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=ox_sc_act_image_1&smid=A2ZDZACAMBG9OM
We all do what we can.
Have you tried large hair sticks or large combs. My hair is super thick too and I pull it in a lose ponytail at my crown and then pin it in a bun because apparently I'm not the only person who worries about my hairline lol.
I've bought these and had good luck.
Also hip length, and I highly recommend the goody ouchless and Scunci No Slip silicone hair ties. I rarely ever have hair snarl on them and as the other poster mention they're much more versatile! Though for buns I prefer hairsticks or spin pins, as they are able keep the weight of my hair evenly distributed.
As for sleeping I have to detangle, and do very loose double french or rope braid. Too tight and it's uncomfy and causes fraying/breakage too. Sleeping on a satin pillowcase also helps too, as it causes less friction than cotton or polyblends. I've tried satin sleep caps, kerchiefs and such however I move around too much at night to keep them on. Though if you can wear them and keep them on many sing their praises!
Cheaper Off-Brand: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWMCL01/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yiKPDbZVATNZM
Genuine Wet Brush: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CS7TK7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EhKPDb9TSYZZN
Since I bought my brush it seems the price difference isnt as significant, so I'd probably go with the actual wet brush in the paddle.size for the extra couple dollars but that's obvi up to you!
I noticed my frizz calmed down a ton and my ends weren't as dry. My hair was all around more manageable and I experienced less breakage. I also started sleeping in braids which helped. Since then I've bleached the hell out of my hair so I dont think linking pics would be very helpful haha.
My favorite are the no crease ribbon hair ties. These never pull my hair out and they look cute on my wrist.
No crease hair ties
Seconded on braiding or otherwise binding your hair at night. Depending on if it's a wash day or not, I braid (wash days, and either English or rope) or bun it (non-wash days) on top of my head. Before I started this, I had one of three problems every night: either my hair would wrap itself around my throat and try to choke me, my spouse would lay on it, or I would wake up in the morning with a rat's nest. (Sometimes more than one applied.) Satin pillowcases also help with tangling overnight.
Try some different conditioners until you find one that works for you. My current favourite combo is Suave Naturals Almond + Shea Butter conditioner most wash nights, and then once every couple of weeks or so Lush's Retread conditioner (kinda pricey, but worth it imo). I also regularly use Lush's Rehab shampoo on my hair. YMMV.
Oh, and as a detangling agent, I fill a spray bottle half with Infusium 23 leave-in conditioner and half with water. The I23 lasts forever this way, and the mixture works well on my thick-fine-tangle-prone hair.
I honestly have never tried this. Can't give an opinion
