Leave in conditioner and don't comb or brush it once dry.

HUH, I always brush after.
My hair us even longer now, if I don't it gets knotted up, how else do I get the knots out if I don't brush

I comb or brush mine out before showering. Since my hair is fine, wavy, and prone to frizz combing or brushing it just makes it all poof out.

Wide-tooth comb or even just your fingers, while the hair is wet. Ideally you’d even wait until the hair is “lubricated” with shampoo or cowash before you comb it out. Comb it out forward, over your face, and squish your conditioner into it. Preventing frizz in curly hair is all about strengthening and preserving your curls, so also add a styling gel if you’re not already using one (I like Wella Pearl, it’s got glitter but not enough that it’s obvious, men can still use it).

Oh I don't have curly hair, it's just straight.

Oh, okay. You mentioned frizz and that's usually mostly a problem for wavy or curly girls.
Could still try a curly hair method, the parts about preserving your hair's natural protection and weighting it down will still hold true. Sulfate-free shampoos (or nopoo) and anti-frizz styling gels.

Well i say frizzy, during very humid days, like 98% humidity, my hair gets like a mess, and some of the strands go everywhere.
I'm gonna assume that's frizz

I know it's an old post, but I'm gonna echo minoxidil, for both sexes, and finasteride if you are male. Both are backed by actual studies in controlled settings. I have heard of women taking finasteride, but it's generally prescribed for men. Dutasteride is another one that is said to be as effective as finasteride, and like that one is less commonly given to women because of muh pregnancy. Minoxidil can be taken orally by prescription (can lead to hair growth all over, I've also heard some people may get headaches) while the topical version (most commonly, Rogaine) is over the counter. Get the 5% version, which I think is the only version they sell to men (women get 2% version too, but are suggested to also go for 5%). Light therapy, those goofy helmets that make you feel like Evel Knievel or Johnny Knoxville about to be shot out of a cannon, may work, but those can get really pricey. You can also try shampoos and conditioners and vitamins. Look into saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil. Both are natural DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blockers, which is the test that leads to hair loss in both sexes. You can get them in vitamin form, topical oil form, and in shampoos and conditioners. Spironolactone, often sadly associated with trannies, can possibly help women facing hair loss. Sometimes even shampoos with ketoconazole (an anti-fungal) can help, or just straight up Head and Shoulders. Some people say rosemary oil can help (I think one study showed it was as successful as 5% minoxidil on patients). Others swear by castor oil, but there's no studies to support this. Others also swear by plain old free scalp massages, especially if you out your head upside down, to potentially increase blood flow. Don't use ashwagandha. That can possibly help stress related hair loss, but not the genetic kind. I think some story got posted here about trannies (male) taking it to try to treat their male pattern hair loss and become True and Honest heckin valid fully maned women. It only increased their hair loss. Basically throw whatever shit you can at it and see what works.
If all else fails, you can buy shit like wig toppers, Toppik, those little fibers you put on your scalp to mimic hair, or you can straight up perform crop rotation on your head with hair transplants. But let's be real, if it gets to that point, you may need to just shave it and become a baldcuck. Or rock a skullet like Devin Townsend did for years if looking like a social pariah doesn't bother you.

You’d still need to take finasteride, or the transplanted hair will just fall out too. It’s caused by follicles not getting enough nutrients because something about hormones, so if you don’t address the hormonal issue first you’re just condemning fresh follicles to starve.
Not that hair transplants are necessarily a bad idea. It’ll look way better than a bald spot. It’s just that making a trip to Turkey won’t be enough on its own.

Kiwi-sisters, I'm in search of a fragrance free shampoo that's as "natural" as possible with as few ingredients as possible. Even searching Amazon for "natural shampoo" gives me thousands of results with shampoos that have ingredients that I can't pronounce. I'm considering just buying a baby shampoo with the shortest list of ingredients and be done with it.

I have 2a hair and the other day i washed my hair with conditioner before shampoo and let the conditioner sit a bit-genuinely the softest and nicest looking it’s been for a while.

Ivory soap made by Procter & Gamble. You can use apple cider vinegar deluded with water as a shampoo, it works well for most hair types.

Dr Bronner's Castile Soap. You need to dilute it if you're using the liquid stuff. Also available in more convenient bars. If you are using it on your head, if you have a decent amount of hair, you might consider trying the almond bar which has a little almond oil in it in lieu of conditioner. They make an actual shampoo but I've never tried that.

My hair is thin as spiderweb but gets dry and ratty at the bottom and flat on top.
I already only condition the ends and shampoo the top, and I oil the ends when I leave the shower.
What do?

My hair is short, #1 on the sides and like an 8 or so on top. I don't use conditioner. I'll try the Bronners

Same. Honestly, it's a slog of trial and error until you find the right products + styling techniques.
I had some bleach damage I had to deal with, so was using a bond shampoo (Goldwell) for a couple of months along with K18. Now that it's stronger, the bonding shampoo feels too heavy.
If you want more lift at the top, you wanna use a volume shampoo, which just means it's more clarifying than a regular one (don't trust a volume shampoo that doesn't have a clear consistency). I'm assuming you double shampoo, yes? Incorporate actual deep clarifying shampoo too, I use this, smells very nice.
How often depends on how often you wash your hair in general + any extra products you use such as hairspray.
A blowout will of course make your hair look fabulous, but it takes some practice to achieve at home. A simpler method for top volume is using a root lifting spray, then blow drying upside down.
For dry ratty ends: commit to the chop. There's no saving nasty split ends, so go as high as you can stomach. Short but thick always looks better than long and stringy. If you meant ratty as in just looks sorta like straw from the mids down, then it's all about your conditioner and leave-in product right after washing (leave-in conditioner gives that sleek salon finish). Hair oil is meant for the end ends, like the last couple of inches. And of course it all depends on whether you have virgin, dyed or bleached hair.
My journey is not over, unfortunately. I used to have all blonde highlights and had a perfect combination of products. Now that I've cut most off and growing it out to have a more natural gradient, all the blonde products are useless. I fear by the time I find the right new combination, I'll start going gray and have to restart the search since grays tends to be more coarse.
Check out Abbey Yung and Blowout Professor. Not all their recommended products might be suitable, but they give good practical advice to find what's right for you.

Have you tried a shampoo bar? Kitsch has an unscented one and I like their products. I have classic (bottom of my ass cheeks) length hair and I find they clean my scalp so well.

I'll look into it. I've been using baby shampoo for the past couple weeks which is nice, but still has way more ingredients than I feel is necessary to clean my hair daily.
