tlmack....my hair is doing fine. For as long as I can remember, I always washed my hair every three weeks. It was a time, for about 4 years, when i washed my hair once a month, and pressed once a month, and I never had a problem. My hair is healthy, and its bra-strap length, and growing. I think these days, people use so many products on their hair, that they have to wash it so often, to get all that stuff out. People use moisturizer, and hair oil, and spray, and whatever else...no wonder they have to wash their hair so much. All I do is wash and condition and moisturize with Creme of Nature products, and press my hair with Apex pressing oil, and grease my hair once a week, and it stays just fine. Actually, all of the friends that I have, that their hair is permed, actually wash their hair every three weeks also!! This is the first time that I have heard so many African Americans wash their hair so frequently. Well, if it doesn't hurt them...then why not. I probably would do it too.
