[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I can certainly appreciate that certain hair *textures* are so different than mine, they don't need to be wetted/dried/fluffed each day .....

I honestly cannot comprehend that there are [i]scalps[/i] --with oil glands and sebum and sweat glands  -- that honestly don't need washing every few days.

Meaning, I get that dry, fried or AA hair does better with some rest in between heat applications.  But do your oil glands on your scalp really not make oil?  Do you not sweat on the pillow at night?  Doesn't your scalp get moist during a DC summer day??

And, truth is, often when I've been standing close to a lot of women with that "thick, curly hair" that takes so long to dry (Indian, Chinese, one italian friend) I can smell an unwashed scent. Hair looks fine though! But there's a mildew scent. [/quote]

As an AA-descent mom whose DD has allergies, both of us with curly, thick, natural hair, I wash our hair 2x a week, condition 4X a week, and rinse thoroughly nightly (too much shampoo, even moisturizing shampoo, can be drying to our hair type).

I have to rid our hair of pollen daily, and I've found that rinsing, etc makes our hair much more manageable. But I've never straightened DD's hair, and no longer straighten my own, in large part because we're an active family, because I want DD to love and own her natural hair, and because the lack of washing/getting hair wet that having straight hair entails (for us) is extremely limiting and also does from time to time lead to hair/head smelling stale.

But if I did want straight hair, if I thought Drybar folks could handle our texture and it wouldn't take forever, I would get a blowout for a special occasion.[/quote]
