@Jaime Richards Nope. I just give it a good water rinse and massage my scalp. :)

@nikkisoda Nice! Do you use dry shampoo, too?

Best thing I ever did for my hair was to cut back on the washing. I still rinse it with water, light conditioner on the ends, but only wash it once maybe twice a week. The difference is amazing. The transition wasn't easy but once you get past those first two weeks your scalp adapts.
