The best advice I ever received though was something I never considered. Washing it. As in "don't... unless it needs it". I was so used to shampooing it on a daily basis, it never occurred to me to let it do its thing once I got around to growing it out. These days it gets a shampoo every two or three weeks (which is still probably too much, but what the fuck) along with a daily rinse and liberal application of coconut oil. And maybe a little de-riffing spray if I care enough to give a fuck. Makes me smell like a Green Thai Curry, but again... what the fuck.
