So I had long hair but cut it off because it was dry and spilt looking. This time I'm going to grow it properly with some good shampoo and conditioner instead of the 2 in 1 shit I was using last time. Sort of want it to look like pic related. Two questions:

1. How often do I shampoo/condition for optimal look? I'm doing it daily now but I can usually make it to two without looking visibly greasy.

2. What should I do during that awkward period where it's semi-long but has no weight so it springs up? It's semi curly so this is really bad for me, the sides sort of curl upwards but everything else is straight. Just use a fuckton of product?
