Wash it with Strawberry Suave shampoo, baby!
Brush it once with a wire toothed travel hairbrush and out the door!
My hair is about 6-8 inches below my shoulders (the length is even with my bra strap) and it looks gross if I don’t wash it every day. I have an oily scalp I guess. I shampoo and condition my hair every morning in the shower, towel it dry, bend over to brush out the snarls (it’s less painful this way), I curl my bangs under a little so they don’t look so straight and funny and I let my hair air dry. I’ll flop my hair from side to side while brushing it because it gives it a little body but that’s all I do. When I get home from work I usually put it in a ponytail or braid just to get it out of my face while I’m cooking dinner. I used to have a perm and do the gel/mousse/hairspray thing but hey, it was the 80s and everybody’s hair looked like that!!
Comb it out, pre- and post-shower. (My hair tangles very easily. It gets tangled in the shower and is very hard to untangle when wet.) Towel-squeeze to get as much water out as possible (no rubbing - see above.) and wander around with a towel under it for twenty minutes or so to soak up the rest (while I’m having coffee & combing). Put it in a ponytail and go. If it’s some special occasion, I’ll leave it down instead. If I’m going to be outside or unusually active, I’ll often either braid it or multi-band it to keep it under control.
Brush it out at night, if I’m feeling energetic. Figure I’ll spend more time in the a.m., if not. Either way, it stays ponytailed so that I don’t smother. I often multi-band it at night, but only if I don’t have to spend too long looking for hairties.
I usually only wash it about once a week - the less I wash it, the cleaner it stays for longer.
This has been my basic routine since I gave up trying to make my hair follow fashion trends when I was about 17. I’ve had it very short, shoulder length, very long (currently halfway down my butt) - doesn’t really change my routine. My hair’s gonna do whatever it wants, no matter what I do, so I don’t see the point in wasting my time.
HA, ShibbOleth, you underestimate me. Of course I know that song. It was featured in a rather old NFL commercial featuring players with long hair.
And you know what a huge fan of the NFL I am…

My hair is…a good bit past my shoulders and very, very curly. I wash and condition it (it’s very dry) every other day. After I wash it, I just let it air dry naturally. I put very little mousse on it. I usually just wake up in the mornings and don’t even touch it. Sometimes I throw it back in a ponytail or a barrette.
I use a pick on it about once every two weeks, to get the tangles out. Otherwise, I just run my fingers through it while it has conditioner in it.
I have mid-back, very thick, very curly hair. Emphasis on the “very”. Very hard to control, obviously. I shampoo about three times a week.
I’ll shampoo, rinse, put in a once-a week deep conditioner, wait 20 minutes, rinse with cold water. Struggle something awful combing it, but eventually get all the snarls out. Sometimes I’ll put in a little gel or a little de-frizz stuff, sometimes both, sometimes nothing. Depends on the laziness factor. If I took a nighttime shower, I’ll pull the hair into a loose ponytail for bed. If I’ll be going out, it stays natural.
I also only comb it when I’ve shampooed and conditioned (i.e., it’s wet). During the other days, I either pull it into a messy ponytail or just fingercomb it and hope for the best.
Long, thick, too-curly but not-curly-enough. Wash and condition daily in the morning, put it in a towel to let it dry a bit while I’m putting on my makeup (if any), comb it out with a wide-toothed comb, blowdry. Brushed with a paddle brush, then curled. With my >new, ultra-fantastic, hot-air professional styling wand< that I got free from the manufacturer!!
Some days I’ll not bother with the blow-drying and curling, and simply pull up the sides into a barrette on the top of my head to keep the hair out of my face.
Weekends I’ll just put it in a pony tail.
To do:
Shampoo
Condition
Brush
and it always looks great!
I love my hair!
Not much. I’ve been growing mine for almost two years; it’s about as long as I ever had it, so I’m going to let it keep growing because I like it. I don’t do much, I wash it every two or three days. Right now I have it in a ponytail all the time because it’s so damn hot, but when it cools off I will probably just brush and go most days.
I spend less time on my hair than any female I know, and they all love my hair. WTF?
Well, several times a year I spend 2 or 3 days straight doing nothing but unbraiding it and having it rebraided so that the rest of the time I just have to wash it a few times/week.
But - last time they screwed it up so bad that I’m about to have to go back to 45 minutes/day or more of hair care.
I hate incompetent people.
My routine’s simple.
Brush it, wash it, brush it (It’s really nfbsking wavy…needs serious-ass brushing), and tie it back. (I have to wear it tied back at work - I leave it down on Sunday.)
I wash it a few times a week (it’s long and takes longer’n others to get dirty, but I’m a guy and sweat so it doesn’t take THAT long) and comb it as needed. Then if I’m in a hurry I put it back in a ponytail, and if not I let it air-dry. Sometimes my mother braids it (I think she might today).
It’s, at its longest, a few inches from my waistband. Another six months or so and I’ll be able to sit on it. Last June I had trouble getting it all into a ponytail.
On the days when I’m especially lucky, girls play with my hair. [slips into fond dopefest memories]
Most days? Not a whole lot actually. I wash and condition every two days, towel dry, brush, part, air dry. I’m unusually tired of it at the moment, so I usually pull it back, braid it or something.
But on a good hair day, I’ll go to any extremes regarding my hair. Curlers, mousse, spray, you name it, I’ll do it.
I have long, thick hair. I don’t really spend too much time on it every day. In the summer, I wash and condition it in the morning, use a little anti-frizz gel and laminate, and leave for work with it wet. If I use a hair dryer, I have to use a vented brush and straighten it, otherwise it it looks all poofy. I am way too lazy to do that every day. In the winter, I wash it at night, and let it air dry. I usually twist it up into a bun before bed, and when I take it down in the morning it’s nice and wavy.
Well, my hair is pretty long. I wash it, blow dry, and then hate it hanging down, so I put it up in a (what do you call it?) those things thta look like clamps.
I dont ever wear it down, yet I don’t know why I don’t cut it.
Its past my bra.
Ponytail or clip. If it’s really tangled, sometimes I only comb the hair around my head, and leave the long stuff a bit tangly.
Long, thick, naturally wavy/curly hair.
Wash it once a week (any more would make me nuts), condition with leave-in conditioner. Comb out, put in ponytail. If lucky, I may only have to take out the ponytail once more during the week and brush hair again.
I like having long hair, but hate messing with it. I guess if my hair got smelly, I’d have to wash it more, but I’m pretty lucky with not having stinky hair.
Yup. Good ol’ #1 blade, or maybe even a zero like I did last time. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. If you’ve never done it, you can’t know the sense of liberation you get (ok ok, I also get people crossing the street to avoid me, but that used to happen before anyway ). A speck of shampoo does your whole head, drying off with a towel takes 3 milliseconds, and there’s no need to comb… bliss.
first wash hair, conditioning treatment,
towel dry, comb hair,
apply shine and anti frizz stuff, mousse,
comb out and style bangs
then clip bangs so that one eye is covered.
