You could try a co-wash product, like this one?

Dry, coarse, wavy hair here! The two things I've learned from this sub are 1) putting some Kiku hydrating toner on your hair when its slightly damp to add some moisture in it and 2) using this to co-wash my hair

The other thing I haven't tried yet is using oil cleanser that doesn't work on my face for my scalp. I'm not sure if that addresses any particular issue you're experiencing, but still wanted to share some of the things I've picked up from this sub!

A couple years ago I deployed to Guam where I would start my day with a wet bun in uniform, then after work we’d go to the beach to swim and snorkel, and then frequently out to town in the evening for dinner. My hair felt awful from wetting it three times a day, but I couldn’t deal with the salty sandy tangles that happened after wearing a snorkel mask.

I bought some As I Am coconut Cowash and it made my hair for that entire deployment so much better- soft enough to be gentle on my tangles, but still great for actually cleaning my bleached, salty hair. They used to sell it at Sally’s only, but I’ve seen it at drugstores lately too. And Amazon of course! Amazon

Best of luck!

Your hair sounds a bit similar to mine tho a bit finer and more prone to be weighed down with synthetic products; that was very intuitive of you to notice! The major pitfall of common store brands is that theyre filled with sulfates, silcone and parabens. They will cling to your hair shafts and build up over time leaving your hair waxy and heavy.

If youre an ingredient reader look at like the top 5 ingredients; you can usually spot the bad synthetic stuff pretty fast. For sulfates, look for ingredients that end in “-ate”, this typically indicates that its a sulfate. Silicones normally end in “-cone”, “-xane”, and “-col”. And parabens can usually be spotted by ending in “paraben”.

Some general advice would definitely be: 1. Dont crank the shower temp up to max. Hot water only makes skin drier which leads to more compensation in oil production. 2. Dont wash your hair every day. you can shower everyday, by all means I encourage it! But save the shampoo for every other day. Most excessive oil problems are actually because youre stripping your hair dry and your scalp is over compensating.

As far as some product recommendations! I would get a nice Clarifying Shampoo ; These are best used maybe once a week if you have thinner hair, tho I have been known to use mine more frequently if my hair feels truly disgusting which sometimes hair just do that. These are good for stripping away the weeks build up of grime and sweat and dead skin. your hair will feel very squeaky after using this stuff. Always condition and leave it in for at least 5 minutes before rinsing.

A good Dry Shampoo for those days you dont have time to shower is a God Send or simply to spruce up your hair on No-Poo days. Remember to comb your hair after applying it cause this stuff can really cake up on your hair if you start to sweat.

Since my hair is so short its really hard to follow most of the instructions of hair regimens (theres a big to do about focusing on your roots versus hair shaft in most hair regimens) so I tend to use primarily Co-Washes! I dont have tight curls or coils but Ive found they are very effective at cleaning my hair, moisturizing it, but not stripping it so much that I end up back where I started. Theyre basically conditioners with a few of the sudsy bits of shampoos mixed in. Theyre similar to a 2-in-1 but they err on the side of the conditioner rather than the shampoo. They are much better for healthy hair and scalp.

A couple of my favorite cowashes are: NYM (Im very fond of this brand XD); Mop Top (if you dont mind a brand thats not in stores) or As I Am (This is the only CoWash I do not follow up with a light conditioner as coconut oil is very heavy on my hair).

With thinner hair its best to try and avoid products with heavier oils that are slow to absorb like Coconut and Olive oils; I would only suggest these if you are going to do something after your shower that will involve intense heat like curling or straightening irons. Products with lighter oils like Argan and Grapeseed will absorb more quickly and wont leave thin hair feeling greasier but will still moisturize it. Jojoba Oil tends to have properties of both and is a good middle ground.

Even tho I use co-washes, there are still surfactants in them and a light conditioning afterwards works wonders for sealing the deal. My fave conditioners usually have really light oils in them because my hair is prone to getting weighed down: Argan Oil Conditioner (my current go to particularly because it has more of a cedar wood and patchouli scent instead of typically floral scents); Argan Oil and Lavender (this one can leave a rather strong girly floral scent in your hair but its absolutely lovely); Leave In Spray or Leave in Milk (And if your hair is being an absolute pain about being weighed down, never underestimate a nice light leave in spray or milk. A little bit goes a long way for conditioning temperamental hair).

---

The best part is that a lot of these tips can also be applied to the skin of your face too. Too oily? Your showers may be too hot or the soap/astringent you are using may be to HARSH and are stripping everything away, good and bad. Try something lighter like a Toner. Moisturizing after washing your face can be important. Some toners also moisturize lightly (like Rose Water Toners) but if youre still feeling a bit dry, light moisturizers made for facial skin can be a nice way to finish up a shower routine!

Also Always remember to wash you pillow cases regularly!

---

The most important thing to remember is that changing the chemistry of your hair and skin routine can take a bit of time to settle in so you might not see a change immediately. Id say give it at least 1-2 weeks to really see if things start clearing up and if they dont keep track of the changes and adjust and try different products. its a bit of a pain in the wallet, believe me, I went thru half a dozen or so different products before I narrowed it down to a couple things: coconut oil was too heavy for my hair and jojoba oil was to slow absorbing for my skin but Argan Oil and Rose Water are a true delight; Im allergic to Salicylic Acid and thats a huge ingredient in a lot of products and acne medications; and my skin is Combination so it can vacillate wildly between oily and dry states. I did find a nice set of products tho that get the job done eventually! I hope you can find some faves yourself!

Use this and this according to package directions.

This is about a 3b. I have 3b hair and while his cut is a lot different than mine the curl is pretty similar.

You need a good daily hair care routine that is going to require some trial and error on your end.

Here's a basic step by step routine:

Detangling - Get in the habit of detangling your hair while its wet. Get yourself a widetooth comb intended for detangling (like this one) and while your hair is wet use it and your fingers to pull out any of your tangles, pay close attention to the back of your head where it would normally rest against any sort of headrest (chair, car, whatever). Don't worry about getting them all, this is something you'll be doing throughout the routine, we're just getting started.

Now that we've loosened up our hair it's time to cleanse it.

Cleanser - It's best to think of this step like face wash, but for your hair, in this step you're getting rid of any oils or products still left in your hair and cleaning it.

There are three main types:

  1. Shampoo - We don't want normal shampoo, however, it isn't good for our hair. You want a non-sulfate shampoo, which won't dry out or damage your hair.

  2. Hair Cleanser - Often comes in a creme form, this is one of the more popular shampoo alternatives.

  3. Cowash - This is a conditioner that also cleanses. Sort of like those all in one bottles of body wash/shampoo/conditioners except its just conditioner intended to clean your hair without damaging it like a sulfate shampoo. I currently use a cowash, this one in particular.

    With your hair still wet use your cleanser of choice and wash your hair, but before you start washing it out, it's time to break out your detangler comb and work out the tougher tangles now that your hair is lubed up and they'll give easier.

    Wash the product out and if you weren't using a cowash, go ahead and use your favorite conditioner (this is going to be a big experiment on your part, personally I cut this out by going the cowash route).

    To Dry or Not to Dry?

    So the next stype is styling your curls with any number of products, but before we get to that step, there's another thing you're going to want to experiment with, which is, whether or not you want to dry your hair before applying it. Personally, I prefer a good middle ground on this as it gives me the best results, so I'll towel dry my hair a little bit so that it's no longer "wet" but sort of "damp". Experiment with this until you find the best results for you.

    Curl Definintion, Anti-Frizz, and Styling

    Now that your hair is clean and conditioned and ready to apply hair product let's talk about some hair products. I recommend picking up at least 1 of each of the big options I'll list below because they each do things a little differently and often times you can find yourself mixing and matching and experimenting to find the best results.

    The big ones to consider:

  4. Leave-In Conditioner/Hair Milk - These are light hair products that are meant to hydrate/moisturize your hair. They are great to get your hair ready to style and are often used as a refresher to re-define loose curls and combat frizz. In some cases this is all you need to get a nice leave and go hair style. I have been using this leave-in for a few months now and I love it!
  5. Curl Creme/Smoothie - This product is all about softening, moisturizing, refreshing, conditioning, styling, and combatting frizz, a lot like a Leave-In, and because they are so much like a leave-in you can use them as such, some cremes/smoothies are marketed that way. It's a moistorizing styler that leaves your hair soft to the touch unlike other options. I use this curl smoothie, I have been using this one for 2 months now, but I experimented with a lot before settling on this one.
  6. Curl Definer/Pomade - In contrast to the Creme/Smoothie option we have the definer/pomade/gel option. These are good for hold, shine, and controlling frizz. They have a sleek/wet/polished look to them as they lock in moisture and often have wax in them. This combination makes them great for maintaining that defined curl look throughout the day, where others you'll have to re-apply or refresh at some point in a longer day. These products will leave your hair crunchy or oily or both, especially if you over-use the product, and if you have naturally oily hair I'd avoid using this product entirely. I have two products for this job. First is Curls' Gel-Les'C, which is pretty light (thanks to using a little gel in its mixture) and doesn't give me too much crunch, which I like. The second is
    Carol's Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey, which I'm really liking.


    Once you figure out which products youre going to use, follow their directions and style your hair the way you like.

    But just to quickly review my process is as follows:

  7. Wake up, shower, de-tangle.
  8. Cowash + detangle some more.
  9. Partially dry the hair, and put in leave-in conditioner.
  10. I let it sit for a few minutes while I get dressed/make breakfast/whatever.
  11. Apply either Curl Creme/Smoothie or Pomade and style. My day-to-day is the curl creme and I usually shake and go/finger comb and use a pick to make sure there's an equal amount of "puff" all around.

    Hope this helps!

I use this, As I Am Coconut Co-Wash, this stuff just makes my hair a little bit softer and smells a lot better than using nothing, plus it's all natural and has many different oils in there to make your hair even better looking.

u/Flibertigibet · 1 pointr/ttcafterloss

I have long straight hair that I wash once or twice a week. I use lulu hair powder in between washes: http://www.amazon.com/Lulu-Organics-Hair-Powder-ClarySage/dp/B001Q6JPOE

When I wash, I don't shampoo and conditioner, I use this instead: http://www.amazon.com/As-Am-Coconut-Cleansing-Conditioner/dp/B00641UCY8

It's wicked cheap, lasts forever, cleans my hair better than shampoo ever did (even after swimming), and after a week or two of not using shampoo, my hair stopped getting greasy btwn washes. I'm a total convert.

If I use product, or my hair gets extra dirty, I'll use a solid shampoo from Lush, and the As I Am as conditioner.

Edit: I should also say, I am the queen of lazy hair. Very thankful jcrew is still rockin' the messy hair look. I can barely manage to brush it most days. Hair powder, a bit of moisturizing oil on the ends, rake through with my fingers, and ponytail. Hair clean enough and done in 5 minutes.

My husband uses a co-wash on his. It is a product traditionally meant for curly hair but he started using it on his beard and loves it! Here is a link to what we use. The smell is very neutral too not fruity or flowery just clean smelling.

u/Afennekin · 1 pointr/FancyFollicles

Aww cool!
I recommend getting this from sally's: http://www.amazon.com/Am-Coconut-Cowash-Cleansing-Conditioner/dp/B00641UCY8

I'm loving it! And it's leaving my bleached hair feeling silky smooth. I was real nervous about bleaching too

u/confused_boner · 1 pointr/beards

My girlfriend starting buying sulfate-free shampoos and "natural" conditioners so that she could avoid using harsh shampoos to get them out later. I started using her stuff when mine ran out (I've had the beard itch/druff problem for a while) and surprisingly my beard itch and beardruff problems when away. I'm pretty sure the shampoo's were the cause of the beardruff (they were too effective and removed the oils from the skin as well as the hair) which led to the itching as well.

I always thought the "all-natural" marketing stuff was bs but it makes sense in a way. I would definitely recommend avoiding the shampoo though, especially if you are prone to dry skin.

^ These are the two that we use now. The cowash is a shampoo replacement, but you have to avoid traditional conditioners if you start using it because it's not strong enough to remove them and it will start to build up in your hair, which is why we use the second product as a conditioner since it doesn't contain any heavy duty surfactants.

After trying out at least 10 different shampoos/conditioners/co-washes this year, I've finally landed on this: https://www.amazon.com/Am-Coconut-Cowash-Cleansing-Conditioner/dp/B00641UCY8/
