    I'm African American and until 4 weeks ago I allowed my hair to grow out using the typical weave method. It all began on a whim when i decided to cut my hair about 3 inches all over to accomodate a mohawk. After about two weeks of hating it i went back to a weave for a year and a half. My hair grew tremendously however; i decided i would not go back to perms. I started using a new stylist to maintain it because it was too hard to manage on my own by flat ironing and washing. This stylist complained about her wrist and her carpel tunnel. she then began to tell me how the humidity in our city would be horrific on my hair in the spring and summer months. after a few months of seeing her i decided to cave and get a relaxer. My hair has been breaking more than ever and shedding like crazy. it no longer has the healthy look it did when it was natural and just getting flat ironed and washed. I

    This is directed to Mizani. You are a very active female, so if you don't wash your hair every few days, your hair would be on the pillow when you wake up. Based on the chlorine from the pool, the sweat from racquet ball, and jogging, your hair would be ate up and stinking bad. That method is for you. Now on the other hand, im one of those you find to be amazing :> I am a bi-weekly washer. I am not as active as you, I work at a desk, and go to school. This method is best for me. My hair is not relaxed, so therefore when I wash my hair I have to get it pressed and flat iron, and we all know too much heat on the hair is not good. And by the way, you cannot thoroughly wash your hair when you have braids in it, so I guess you are somewhat one of those amazing females too (somewhat).
