Finding your hair type is key to figuring out what your hair needs. Straight hair allows the oily sebum produced by the scalp to travel down the hair shaft. This seals in moisture, so the hair feels smooth and silky. Sebum does not travel down curly hair as easily. Any moisture in the hair can easily escape through the cuticle leaving the hair feeling dry.
If you have straight hair, you will need to wash your hair often to avoid it becoming greasy.
If you have curly hair, it's important to find a way to seal moisture in the hair shaft. This is usually achieved by using natural oils e.g. jojoba oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, or silicone products. If you choose to use silicone products, remember that you will need to use a clarifying shampoo from time to time to remove silicone buildup.
