Thanks you two. Once again you guys came through i really appreciate it and i am learning (slowly but surely).
Ok i found the message below and i read the rest. Can you go into a little more detail about the process and what will my hair look like with that in it, oh, and how long would i leave it in?
Thanks, Shaun2k
"It's where you oil with a cheap carrier oil, like Coconut oil (great) or Sweet Almond (both are found in health food stores or online from soapmaker ingredient websites) ... and then you leave it in for as long as possible. Wash it out with your regular shampoo and finish with a conditioner. The oils will seep into your hair for a deep moisture treatment. I've seen a lot less frizz with this routine.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
To forgive is not to forget. The merit lies in loving in spite of the vivid knowledge that the one that must be loved is not a friend.
What I do: I oil using about a tablespoon (long hair) Use a teaspoon or less for short hair. I work it through my hair with my fingers, massaging around until the oil is evenly distributed. Takes about 10-15 minutes to massage through.
Then I bun my hair and basically forget about it for a few hours, maybe curl up in a blanket and watch a movie, or do homework, etc.. The oil shouldn't smear everywhere if you use the right amount. The amount should absorb into your hair. Then hop into the shower and make sure you shampoo it out really well. Finish off with a light conditioner and you're done! Actually, speaking of conditioners, you'll want to try a no-cone conditioner (without anything ending in "cone" or "conol" because it sounds like your hair isn't reacting well to that plastic ingredient) Check the label.
Some shorthairs can lightly oil to replace conditioner as well.
Oiling, as a routine, is pretty simple. It's not much of a science. You can do it almost any way you want. Some people even oil with 1-2 drops as a leave-in conditioner. Some people oil with 1-2 drops after a shower when their hair is still wet. That tends to work nicely too.
Give it a try-- there are at least three ways you could do it: (1) heavy prewash oiling (2) leave-in oiling while wet (3) leave-in oiling on dry hair. One of them will work best for you.
Speaking of light conditioners, here are a few (drugstore brands) for you to consider.
My favorite, as I have mentioned is Dove Foaming Conditioner. It looks like shaving creme and feels weightless.
Pantene Full and Thick has also been praised by fine haired people.
Clairol Renewal 5x (neon green bottle, not as green as Garnier) claims to wash away cleanly and prevent buildup.
Most conditioners that claim to give volume, is probably light and clean rinsing.
PS. You probably know this, but don't condition your roots, completely avoid cowlicks. Your hair will get dirtier, faster. Just smooth from an inch from the roots down to the ends.
