      You’d be better off without the shampoo, provided you use the right kind of conditioner (without silicone, waxes, etc). Look into co-washing and the Curly Girl method. Ignore the “girl” part, hair is hair. For several years, my hair has felt so much better and doesn’t look flat.

          Yep, only conditioner. But you should start with a very simple clarifying shampoo first that will remove silicones and waxes and be very thorough. If you don’t do this, any buildup from past conditioners won’t ever get removed. And then use a conditioner that is free of everything else. Personally I use GIOVANNI Tea Tree Triple Treat Invigorating Conditioner. I can buy it by the 128oz jug and last me like 3 years.
