Wash your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. Both have detergent so they will both clean your hair, but conditioner is less harsh.
This is only really beneficial for certain types of hair, and definitely don’t do it with conditioners containing sulfates, parafinss, or silicones. This site has a comprehensive list of products that aren’t filled with garbage what’ll leave your hair drier than it started.
Any recommendations for "normal" hair?
If your hair is neither thick nor fine and you’re not having any problems with buildup or dryness, you’re totally fine to just keep doing what you’re doing. Also if you’ve got straight and/or short hair you can probably ignore the no-sulfates/silicones stuff.
Most hair care products are designed for a specific kind of hair, usually straight and pretty flat. I started using black hair care products and my hair went from wavy and frizzy to natural ringlets and only sorta frizzy! SheaMoisture is my personal favorite brand.
Depends on hair type. Conditioner can be heavy on baby fine hair. I almost never condition my chicken feathers.
Shampoo is for cleaning your scalp...not your hair.
Most conditioners contain silicone. Why would you put that in your hair?
For long hair it helps with combing. Just like the old silicone spray for ballpoint mice, it reduces friction with the comb.
A USB mouse ... For ants?
Most lotions contain dimethicone, a silicone relative.
They both work by being moisture barriers, preventing moisture loss (for hand lotion).
As someone who struggles with skin issues, I don't even bother with lotions that don't have dimethicone, they're practically useless for me.
