Avoid conditioners : You should try using a botanical shampoo ; that is a shampoo that has no chemicals in it. Do not use a hair conditioning solution afterward. Rinse your hair thoroughly afterward and then at the end rinse with cold water. Towel dry your hair as much as possible and do not use a hair dryer until your hair is completely dry. This may be helpful to you.
