Hey, thanks for the tips. I'll be giving this a try. I have hair that naturally can get corkscrew curly, but gets dry and strawlike very easily. I've only shampooed it once a week at most for a long time, but I've noticed that on long "showerfree" vacations it sort of changes character but actually looks nicer.

I haven't brushed my hair since I was a little girl... *breaking out the coarse salt and a hairbrush*
