Hair Care  

Thats something I had never even given a second thought. I am as white as they come with the straightest hair you can imagine. I can wash my hair and dry it with a towel and just leave it, I don't even need to comb or brush it.

I worked with an African-American woman and she told me of the trouble and hassle that comes with her type of hair. I was told that once it is styled, it can't get wet and that she doesn't wash her hair but once a week or so. It then takes her hours to get it to conform to whatever style she wants, and this after using many hair products.

I can't give you any advise as to help you with your hair, I just wanted to say how much I feel for those that have the problems that you do. Its entirely possible that you spend the same amount of time on your hair in a day that I spend in a month or two.

Sorry for you. I wish there was some way to help, but I can't.

I'm black also (guess you know that from the picture). I care for my hair pretty much as you described. I relax my hair about once a month or month and a half. I wash at least once a week; occassionally every two weeks when I'm very busy or feeling lazy or under the weather. Sometimes I air dry my hair but I like to blow dry it because it gives my hair so much body. I use light oil on my hair. I almost never use any sprays, spritz, gels or setting lotions. I typically brush my hair with a spiked brush, not a brissle style brush. I try to eat right and take supplements to keep it healthy and strong.
