I need in-expensive hair care ideas.

I'm only 15, and have about 20'' long hair, I really want to continue growing it out, at least to my waist, but it is really un-healthy now. It's always frizzy, and the back is all different lengths. (My last cut back in march of 2003 was a layered cut.)
It's naturally "curly" but I don't very often leave it curly because if I brush it at all, it just goes to a poofy wave. So usually I straighten it.. (yeah, I know it's horrible for my hair. but it looks the best when it is straight!)

So I am looking for easy, and in-exspensive ways to get it healthy (and preferably not frizzy) so I can just leave it alone and let it grow. The way it is now I am so tempted to cut it again, because right after the cut it always is smoother.

My current hair regime is washing it about every other day with either Head and Shoulders (I get bad dandruff if I don't use that.) or Suave.. Then I just use the normal Suave conditioner. Then I either just put it in a pony tail, or blow dry it and straighten it.

So if anyone has advice about what I can do to get it healthy, please share!! Thank you so much!

I remember when I had permed hair, a hundred years ago, I used to put some conditioner in some water and spray it on my hair. It was just enough to mist it. Then I would use a pick to untangle.

H&S shampoo is just yuck. I refuse to use dandruff shampoo except nizoral (actually gets rid of dandruff, wrecks hair).
I find Sauve conditioner makes my dandruff worse.

Good quality shampoos are worth the money. You don't need as much so a big bottle goes a long long way. Since I am not spending $35 getting a cut every 2 months, I am spending that $$$ instead on good hair products. Put the date on the bottle when you start using it and see.

Oil is good too. Use about 5 drops, rub on your hands and then onto your ends. Brush and then shampoo in the morning. You can use olive oil or whatever you cook with until you can save up for something better.

Thank you both very much! I'll try that stuff with my hair tonight.

I'll try the CWC treatment, but do you know which would be the best 2nd conditioner to use? I normally just do the Suave... and have no idea which other brand would be the best for the 2nd!

Thanks!!
So what is this Shea butter? A certain type of conditioner? Or just an ingredient?

And thanks for the other tips about diluting, etc! I'll stop using the Head & Shoulders too! I've never really liked the stuff, but it did seem to work.

Can anyone think of any good conditioners I could look for?

And a lot of people talk about different oils they put in their hair, where could I find those? In the hair care isle? or some-where special?

Sorry for all of these questions, I'm just new to all this special hair-care stuff, and I'd like to get it right! :D Thanks for everything so far!!

I have one more for dandruff-prone scalps: Scalp gel. It´s like an ordinary oil-free moisturizer in a special bottle for application to the scalp. When this product surfaced in the swedish pharmacies a few years back, it really made a difference for me, especially in the wintertime.

It would surprise me much if this was not available in the States, you have everything else and then some!

Because Straight cut makes Density, V cut makes long, Oval makes normal level



General Advice:-

Maintain long hair. Because the body will take protein from the supply of hair at the time of
Sick or illness. because the hair contains protein in the form of keratin.this
is the reason for mothers hair falling after birth of child. So plz maintain atleast
Hair length between Shoulder length to Waist length(50-60cm
