once a week or so....

Does your Mom have some witch hazel? I used to put some witch hazel on a cotton ball or cotton swab, part my hair and swab my scalp. Then follow that with a moisturizer or some Humectress. Worked like a charm...for me anyway.

I'd rinse too. Why drive yourself insane? That's a cruel thing to do to yourself.

hmm....this is the kind of thing thats really hard to explain (like how to ride a bike)...damned procedural knowledge! i think that motown girl has a how to guide on her site...shes got ALL KIND of helpful stuff over there, you might check her our....

on your ends you might take some aloe vera gel (or actual gel) and just twist it around your fingers until it coils up....and rinsing it always helps me....

HTH!
