I have naturally curly hair. When researching the best way to care for curly hair, I read over and over again to stay away from shampoo. I've been breaking myself of the shampoo habit for the last few months.

I don't use anything other than water to clean my hair. I use a large, wide-tooth comb in the shower. Once my hair is gently combed out, I use my fingers, like a squeegee, under the shower to clean/rinse my hair. 2-3 times a week I apply conditioner and use the comb to apply it to my hair (I do not rinse out the conditioner).

I get the best curls this way and my hair looks healthy. If I have plans, I apply a dollop of honey to may hair while its still soaking wet (not at the roots, just to the hair from about the ears down).
