Okay, first of all, I have oily hair and that is one of few reasons why I ONLY use shampoos due to their 'cool' feeling (moisture)....although, I do NOT like using conditioners because it will only make my hair oily-er.....AND because I do not like the oily and thick, warm feeling of the liquid....

what do you think? do u dislike conditioners too? do u just stick on using shampoo because they actually feel cold when put on hair and they hydrate it...

??
 
I have oily hair too but I have to use conditioner. I prbly don't need to but every once in awhile it's good for me so my hair doesn't actually DRY out. See when I use shampoo my hair feels course and slightly ratty after it's been rinsed out so I use just a bit of conditioner to make my hair smooth. So no, yr not weird at all :)
 
No, you're not weird for not using conditioner. I think that is a kind of stupid and childish reason to think someone else is weird for, lol.

I don't use conditioner either because a few months ago I had this problem where I would wash my hair and then when I dried it the top of my head was extremely greasy, flat, unmanageable, and disgusting looking. I stopped using conditioner and it went away.
 
I never use conditioner only because I'm lazy. But I asked my salon how bad it is, and they told me that I should try to use conditioner at least twice a week to keep it healthy.

Conditioner is not supposed to make your hair oilier. In fact, when your hair gets dry, the scalp releases oil to keep the hair from being parched. This goes the same for your face too - you should still moisturize your face even if your skin type is oily.
 
I personally don't dislike conditioners because I have really thick, long, dry hair that needs conditioning otherwise I would never be able to run a comb/brush through it. If I could get away with just using shampoo I would. Shampoos are a good way to cleanse hair; and to tell you the truth most people, with the exception of those like me who have insanely thick/dry hair, don't need conditioners.
Conditioners are mostly a marketing scheme designed by shampoo companies to sell more product. They make you think that you need both when in reality you really don't. All most people need to use when washing their hair are shampoo and a detangler. A detangler that is sprayed into hair before blow drying is all the conditioning that you really need... just to get the knots out of hair. But for obvious reasons people feel the need to use conditioners.

I personally don't buy regular conditioners... I use a leave-in treatment for chemically processed hair since that is what it is designed for... and than afterwards I use a detangler. Skipping conditioner will save you money in the long run.

So no, you are no weird for not using conditioner. If that routine works for your hair than by all means continue!
 
na- you're not weird. I use conditioner even though my hair is oiley because my hair gets tangled if I don't- but if you don't have this problem then you should go hair-conditioner-free no problemos.
 
FREAK! lol jk but conditioner is better for ure hair than shampoo,it is less drying to the scalp and helps repair damaged hair
 
its totally normal that u dont use conditioner! especially if you have oilly hair! as long as it doesnt get dry or hard to bruch its totally okay to skip the condish
 
only use conditioner like once a week...ure not supposed to use it everytime you shower....makes the hair fall out...theres nothin wrong with just using shampoo.
 
Well of course your not weird. my friend has really oily hair and she hates conditioner so she doesn't use it so I think your fine. Depending on your hair type will define the usage of conditioner you use.If you feel that you need a little bit more moisture try using any 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner!!! Your definatley not weird for not using conditioner. iI have to use because my hair is very dry. Hope that helps
 
haha! no, of course your not weird!
i have the same problem as you do about the oily hair.
it's crazy, it's like i wash it in the morning and by bedtime it's all oily again. x_x
i never used to use conditioner either, but after bleaching and damaging my hair big-time a while back, i use conditioner all the time to keep my hair smooth and healthy ... looking, atleast, lol

but, in your case, if your hair is healthy, then i suppose it's perfectly fine to skip the conditioner,
although you should do it atleast once a week as it really is good for the hair.
