I wish I could use oil, or even leave-in conditioner, and get smooth silky hair, but what I actually get is a greasy mess. Even using a hot or treatment in the shower, that's going to be rinsed out, doesn't work for me. The thing that works best is, bizarrely, plain old super-cheap drugstore 3 Minute Miracle!
It might be a generational thing, but I don't know a single woman other than myself whose haircare routine doesn't include something designed to alter the natural texture of her hair; every single one of them is either straightening, curling or perming. And of course, we're all coloring as well. And they're all using a bunch of products in their hair, too, something else that I've never done. It's like I haven't passed the secret rites of womanhood, because I just let my hair hang whatever way it wants to; other women are always trying to persuade me to "DO something" with my hair.
