RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Just realised you're meant to pat dry your hair after showering... (lemmy.world)

Made a massive difference when I started pat drying my hair, it became more softer and smoother instead of roughly and vigorously rub drying my hair, making my hair dry... I feel like this should be common sense but apparently not to me since I found out about this just recently πŸ˜…

I don't think it's just the hair type but also your oil production. I also have curly hair and it's completely untameable if I don't shower & get it wet, but it's very oily and unpleasant if I shower and don't shampoo it.

There might be a middle ground available with other hair products but I can't stand the feeling of product left in my hair so I've left myself with only one real option.

Have you tried dry shampoo? It helps to extend the time between hair washing.

I have, but I can't stand the feeling of any left-in product. It's an autism sensory thing for me. Tbh I'm not even sure how well it works for me, I couldn't stand how it felt so I washed it out.

Again, fully a me problem. I know curly haired folk have products that can help but I just can't stand feeling anything in my hair.
