You definitely should use conditioner every time you shampoo, because the
shampoo strips the natural oils away. The oils are there because nature
intended them to be, so without them, you need conditioning.
For me, the detangling time after being out in the wind would far outweigh
any time I'd spend braiding it.

Sometimes I'll braid it....I know this sounds kinda stupid...lazy, even?...I just don't take the time to braid it... it wouldn't take that long to braid. I don't know...maybe I'm a clean freak...I can go about four days w/out it looking greasy or dirty, but that doesn't mean it don't feel dirty! So I don't know if I could do the twice a week thing...I will try diluting my shampoo, though. Is it okay to use conditioner everytime you shampoo? Thanks for your help!

Do you ever restrain (braid, bun) your hair when it's windy? The
wind (and dry weather) can dry your hair out, depriving it of
moisture. And as you say "it's kinda losing its shine" and you
wash every other day, you may be stripping away too much of the natural
oils. Try diluting your shampoo in a plastic bottle with a
restricted flow tip (reusing an old shampoo bottle works well for
me). And focus the shampoo on the scalp and the hair near it;
there's usually no need to apply shampoo to the length. You might
even be able to stretch the time between shampoo to 3 days or maybe
even twice per week.

Hi! The weather here has been beserk...it always is ! But anyways, it's not really winter, so it's not cold... well, kinda on and off. We have lots of wind and I'm outside alot so the wind probably has fun doing all kinds of stuff to my hair and it's drying my hair out plus it's kinda losing it's shine. I try to wash it every other day and I'm sure that some of it is normal (weather and all), but to finally get to my question! What would help restore it? Is washing it every day okay even if my hair's not use to it? Please reply!
