Does anyone remember This Post I did about how awful my hair has been since we moved into this house? To update you, I ended up cutting about eight inches off because I just could not handle the tangles. Since then, a great friend of mine sent me this link. (Thanks Alicia)

You should read it if you love your hair. It says to use vinegar in your hair if you have really hard water. I don't do this all the time because I forget and I haven't put some in my shower, but I have done it several times recently. When I use vinegar in my hair it makes a HUGE difference. My hair is so soft and smooth on those days. If you have hard water you should just try it. A little experiment for you. Try it and then comment and let us know if it worked for you.
I also ran across some stuff about people who don't use shampoo. Its the no-poo movement. Check it out Here. Has anyone out there actually done this? I'd love to hear about it. I'm a little scared to go that extreme.
Also something else I was wondering. Lets suppose you do use shampoo. I know you aren't supposed to wash your hair every day, but how often do actual people wash their hair? I have a hard time not washing my hair because of two things. I often have curly hair and so I have a bunch of gel in it. It is not pretty the next morning. I promise. Also, when I work out I get sweaty head. Yup, its just who I am.
Ok, I think I need to summarize what I am asking here.
Number 1-If you try or have tried using vinegar, I want to know how it went for you.
Number 2-Does anyone have experience with the no-poo thing and how did it go? (or is it going?)
Number 3-How often do you wash your hair and do you think I am right to wash mine all the time because of the aforementioned reasons?

Help My Hair!!!
For those of you who don't know, I just barely moved from Oregon to Virginia and I have encountered two problems with my hair. One problem I expected, the other I did not. Problem number one-I have naturally frizzy hair by nature. That combined with humidity and it is a bit of a disaster. Anyone have a frizz product that they swear by? It would be great to have something that works when my hair is curly and something that works when I want my hair to be straight. (Although, I might have to give that up for a while if I can't find anything to help.)
My second problem is the worst. I am used to getting out of the shower and running a pick easily through my wet hair. Its never tangled or knotted. It just easily slides down. Since I moved into this house, when I get out of the shower my hair is a tangled mess. It takes me ten minutes to comb through it, section by section. Its really awful and I am not sure why it is like that. My only guess is it has to be the water. I can't really figure out anything that could make that big of a difference. I am using the some conditioner I was using before I moved. I even bought a new bottle just to be sure. Does anyone have any idea what I can do for this or any idea of what could be causing this besides the water? If I can't fix it I might just buzz my head one day so please help!
