I am an African American woman with long hair. I know people do tend to their hair differently from others but I want to know how do you care for your...do you get relaxers and how often do you wash your hair? I myself get relaxers to straighten my hair out just a little and I wash my hair once a week or every two weeks.

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.

What kind of supplements do you take? I use a light oil on my hair also. I also give myself an hot oil treatment when I wash my hair which really help with the dryness.
