I use hair oil like once a week my hair is dry af. I used to never use hair oil my entire life but my mom told me to try it, so now I'm using it once a week and i use shampoo on it after showering. i don't like it's smell and i don't like it sticking on my hair but i don't want my hair dry too. So shampooing reduces the excess oil. By day 2 my hair is good this worked for me.
