My best friend has to have a pick, she really doesn't see how one could have natural hair and live without it. When I preach the damages it causes and how to use conditioner and oil to detangle she quotes Erykah Badu, "you need to pick yo afro daddy, because it's flat on one side". She has 4c hair and she picks it all throughout the day bone dry! BONE DRY! Then she has the nerve to complain about remaining nl/sl for the last 9 years of being natural. Another case of sound advice falling of very deaf ears.
