I stopped using shampoo after I hennaed my hair for the first time.
I use the cheapest, thinnest kind, and rub it in well. It'll clean
your hair, but the best part about it is that it has the same
electric charge as your hair, which means less frizz. Shampoo
changes your hair's charge (from positive towards negative I think),
which is why after I shampoo my hair looks like a blow dried
poodle. You do have to wash your hair more often, but it looks and
feels so much nicer.

: Before you invest in a perm, get "Curly Girl" by Lorraine Massey
out
: of your local library (or buy it if you don't mind investing $10
in a
: book that may or may not help you).
:
: I have corkscrew curls and this book has some incredibly helpful
tips
: for those of us with wavy or curly hair on how to handle it and
how
: to encourage the natural curl to emerge. Some of it sounds pretty
: radical - especially the part about never washing your hair with
: shampoo, but using conditioner and massaging it into the scalp
: instead - but I have yet to find something in there that was less
