It's been almost 2 years and a few months now since I started to grow my hair, I am a guy with almost shoulder-length hair! I've damaged my hair in the past due to ignorance in such field (now of course, I DO read about hair care) and a few chemical straightening (now of course, I STOPPED this!)
I am really interested in knowing if my hair is healthy enough or is good in general, my typical routine: a CO-washing each other day with a conditioner containing SLS but not any -cone! I usually wet my hair, shower, wet-comb after applying the conditioner and then re-shower and re-apply the same conditioner with a final cold rinse! The result is pretty good with air-drying! Here's a pic after a shower:

Now on the non-washing days, I usually wet my ends and roll them into 2 large strands of hair before releasing them and leaving them to air-dry, it is possible to restore almost 80% of my hair shape of a wash day, such as this picture (picture taken under the sun's light effect):

However when twisting it alot and, yes headbanging is nice, it becomes a bit messy, however still with good curls (though not that shown in this picture):

So far, everything is fine, now one of my issues is some of my hair strands (I discussed this issue on another topic), part of my hair is growing in a different way, yes in a frizzy way! It's annoying especially when I wanna wear it in a pony tail, it becomes like a nest (not the ends which are relatively curly), I tried to use a leave-in conditioner however with a -cone, short term effect is good but the long term one can be drying so my hair kind of dislikes any cone-based product! Here's a picture:

Notice that the totally-wet hair strands will become curly, however the semi-dry (especially in the upper middle) hair is the nest! Even when my hair is soaking wet, there's always a dry-looking hair, I took a close look using 2 mirrors, I discovered that this hair is growing from the scalp like that! Which totally makes me worried about the future of my hair when it grows more and more!
So what do you think of my hair's health? My problem above is still fine, however I am really worried about the future of my hair, I DONT wanna cut it at all!
Any feedback is highly appreciated :)
