I wash my very long hair 2-3 times a week and often get compliments from women. Many express some variation of “I wish my hair would grow that long” but none of them like the answer. “I do nothing to it. No heat treatments, no bleach, no color, no tight braids, no styling. Shampoo approximately every other day and condition weekly.”
(Dish soap would probably strip the natural oils too aggressively, even for short hair. Rough on the scalp.)
Dish soap on hair is actually awful, leaves it dry, clumped/stuck together, and unmanageable. I got something in my hair when I was under 10, all I remember is it was SO BAD I willingly went to wash my hair.
I have a similar routine to you I don’t blow dry either it is towel dry, except I condition each time I wash, and get the same responses from women who equally do not like the “I wash, condition, and cut it (well its been a few years now but) every 3 months, and do nothing else.”
