Poll: Shampoo, conditioner or both?

[Cherry Cola]

Having long hair is a ***** sometimes. I'd like to settle on using just plain shampoo, but that doesn't help my hair by a lot, except that it smells better. I usually have to use both, first shampoo and then conditioner. Sometimes I just don't have the strength to do either and just leave it at that.

Am I just extra preppy compared to everyone else or does others share my dilemma? How does your hair-washing routine work? Please explain this in the comment section instead of just pressing the poll-button and leaving, hair is an important thing to discuss. If the proper method of treating your hair isn't discovered, perhaps we will all go bold (I recall seeing a thread about that somewhere...)

EDIT: Thanks to some help, I've now found a way to better show the people still unsure about what shampoo/conditioner does.

Now you should all know what we're dealing with.

I can't use Conditioner as it makes my hair explode into a giant ball of fluff. So does shampoo actually..

Both. Makes it nice and soft. I'll laugh if anyone puts conditioner only XD

 

[Distorted Stu]

Both + shower gel.

 

[Ciarang]

Sometimes I just use conditioner, depends how long I want to be in the shower for.

Also, I never, EVER put on conditioner before shampoo, anyone else get this?

 

[CovertCell]

I have to use both as I have long hair and if I don't use conditioner my hair goes frizzy. The conditioner also makes it easier to comb.

 

[rokkolpo]

just shampoo.

i don't even know what conditioner does.

 

[similar.squirrel]

I use conditioner if I can be bothered. Otherwise, just shampoo.

 

[Christemo]

[Froobyx]

Both

Shampoo to clean my hair, conditioner to put some good oils back into it...

I've got to use Head and Shoulders or something similar, or else I'll be makin' it snow on some kids.

 

[Kasawd]

I use just shampoo when my hair is shorter. When it's longer, I will use both. My hair is so soft! People pet me

 

[Valiance]

I just wash my hair with a shampoo/conditioner combo 2-3 times per shower.

Unless I'm showering at my girlfriend's house in which case I shampoo twice and then conditioner.

 

[Sneaky-Pie]

Both.

I like mine smooth and fluffy. Yes... nice and fluffy.

 

[Amnestic]

Both. Sometimes I'll Shampoo->Rinse->Shampoo->Rinse->Conditioner->Rinse, but that's only when I'm feeling particularly icky, so not often.

I can't imagine using shampoo without conditioner or vice versa.
