My girlfriend says I should be using hair conditioner, but I have short hair and have never used it before. Is she right, and if so, why?

Expert Q+A

My girlfriend says I should be using hair conditioner, but I have short hair and have never used it before. Is she right, and if so, why?

ANSWER:

The only way she’d be right is if your hair is really coarse or dry. Otherwise, there’s no need for it. Conditioner -- leave-in or regular -- simply weighs short hair down. Guys with longer hair can benefit from it, but you can just shampoo. If anything, to make her happy, switch to a moisturizing shampoo.
