I'm have owned and operated a hair salon for 22 years, I tell my clients with long hair to: put conditioner on their wet hair BEFORE shampooing (you don't need to use near scalp)....then shampoo and condition as usual.  Our hair only gets oily near our scalps....long hair gets dried out from washing often...so the condition before you shampoo works really well!!  My clients have said it makes a big difference in the way their hair feels.  Good luck!  Also, if you have been swimming....it would also help to keep a small spray leave-in conditioner near the pool, to spritz in your hair before you swim.
