My hair is baby fine and thin. I used to use conditioner but found it made my hair look very greasy. Even the kinds for fine hair. If I were living in a different climate I might need a bit on the ends of my hair in the winter when the air is heated and static electricity can be a problem. But living in south Florida where the air is so humid, conditioner would be a disaster. My hair is pretty oily too.

I get around the tangle problem by using a light spray gel and then combing with a wide tooth comb, carefully, beginning at the ends. My hair is pretty short so tangles aren't too big a problem for me. My hairdressers all tell me to never use conditioner (at least when my hair is healthy--I had some bad perms that required buckets of it). Really long hair would probably require some conditioning at the ends I guess. Most fine haired people I know can't get really long hair though. I just looks too stringy.

My hair feels yucky when it is wet but it definitely drys silky. I would have to wash it twice a day if I conditioned. I think the volume is better too with no conditioner to weight it down.
