I've literally never put oil in my hair in my life (tho now I say that I dunno if shampoo/conditioner has oil in it. Probably.) It's looked fine this whole time.

I've probably had pretty long hair for longer than you've been alive. If you have long hair and wanting it to look not crazy without tying it up, you're putting something in it. Whether it's leave in conditioner, or fiber or pomade or gel or hairspray or some type of oil or you manage to skip all that by straightening it all the time; you're putting something in it or doing something to it. Very few people have an exception to this. Namely people who have very straight, limp hair.

I'm in my 50s so color me skeptical on that count, but fair enough. ;) But yeah, I've never been able to grow my hair out and keep it that way even though I do have very straight, limp hair just because it was always a pain to wash and care for and I just didn't care enough.
