My routine has been so boring lately. Shampoo, condition, done. No leave-ins. My hair is fine, it's not excessively dry or anything but it feels so simple, and I still have so much other product I want to use up. At the same time, I'm lazy, my hair doesn't really need anything else, and I'm concerned leave-ins will lead to an oil slick (badly) masquerading as my scalp.

Do you guys do much in way of leave-ins or deep conditioners/masks? Especially those of you with straight or slightly wavy hair. How do you stop your scalp from getting all oily?

i personally use a mask once every two weeks in the shower. i only wash my hair once a week, so it's really every other week i swap between conditioner and a mask. i use a leave in conditioner after every wash, and just focus on my ears and downward. whatever residue is left on my hands, i use through the roots and rake it through my hair. i have a super dry scalp, though, so results may vary.

I wash my hair every day and normally condition after every wash, but due to protein overload I haven't conditioned this week. That's it really. My hair doesn't need that much anyway.

Loving all the pics! So many thick heads of hair

I'm still here, chugging along. Was feeling pretty down a few weeks ago but am trying to enjoy that my ends currently look decently thick. I've "styled" my hair in my mom's goofy way the past few washes and I have to say, I'm not hating it. Basically, low ponytail while wet (not too tight) so the majority of the hair sits kinda flat but the ends pouf a bit.

Noooo, pic from the front, which is the only way the "style" looks good won't upload due to file type. Oh well, here's the back shot:

I noticed my hair is only about 2cm away from APL when stretched or wet but still barely longer than collarbone otherwise. I wonder why that is because it doesn't flip.

Volume you might have more volume than you think

Probably. It is pretty straight though so I wonder why I have such a high volume. What is hair volume anyway?

A ponytail (or fabric headband) while wet is a great idea to reduce poofiness. I used to do that when my hair was very curly. It gave your hair a nice shape!
