awsome!!! thank you! i will try that this next time. you give good advice. im happy i found this site! soaringeagle said:

actualy washing less males em less oily and u can use sea salt on the hair not scalp and thyme tea (left on) on the scalp
also when u wash..hot wash freezing rinse the wash opens pores and cleans em out then the colds seals em back up also cuticles too so u retain healthy oils without over producing more

yea i have naturaly oily hair... thanks dad... should i wash it more to keep it more dried out? i wash it every three or four days. that is why its pulled up a lot. after one day it looks greasy.

not working on them 8 months... had them 8 months.... you got me... must watch my wording
