i agree with topofmurrayhill i have long hair and try not to wash any more then i have two that helps alot with the dryness when i wash i put a very small amount of olive oil in the palm of my hand and rub my hands through my hair be careful not to put to much or it will be oily for my kids i made a spray bottle mixed olive with water it takes care of frizzes, tangles and helps with dryness a lot.
