Hello. I just got out of a frustrating conversation with my family. My parents complained that I don't know how to wash my hair when they have never told me how to do it. It's difficult for me to grasp how to wash my hair and I usually end up with greasy/oily black hair. A lot of people make fun of me for it but I don't know how to change it. My mom made the innappropiate comment of filming herself in a bathing suit to teach me how to do it and I showed visible disgust and she got mad at me. Is it normal to know nothing about hygiene?

ReplyThis is not normal, but some parents do not know how to do it right, although that doesn't mean they are purposefully denying you this knowledge. I never learned. As mixed girl with greasy black curly hair, my kid years and ongoing teen years are crazy. My mother owns a lock of straight blond hair, so I never learned anything from her on how to wash it. I dont have many tips for you, as to be honest, I broke and bought a steam hair straighter so I could straighten everyday without damage. Not knowing how to was hard. Even my best friends made jokes about my greasy hair but nothing I tried would work and my mom or dad didnt understand me at all. I understand you. For a short period of time I bought a hair mask and after my shower id put it in my hair while it was still damp and it would dry all nice. I used to also braid my hair while I slept after showers. I still often do that. Also buns and curly hair are so in! Leave a strip out and show off that bounce girl, I know it is hard to deal with but some girls would kill for your hair so own it. Find what works for you. I hope this helped :)
ReplyThis is not an easy question to answer, without potentially causing some sort of stress. So my answer is coming from a loving place.
To that, I do not believe it is normal to know nothing about hygiene. Nor does it sound like you know nothing about hygiene. From what you've described, your mother's attempts were far from inappropriate. It would have been inappropriate to put you in the shower herself and commence giving you the scrub down of your life. I ponder whether you're rebelling or have some other underline, potentially diagnosed thing you're dealing with that makes it hard for you to keep up with yourself.
I don't know your age, but youtube is for everyone. Meaning, you have plenty of information at your disposal which is why I ponder if you're purposely being rebellious or dealing with something you either don't know you're suffering from or don't want to face.
It seems like your people love you and want the best for you. I wish you luck.
