[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 67925, member: 2211"] My sister has the kinkiest, curliest difficult hair since the day she turned 13! It was always loose and curly, then it got really tight. My mother dragged her to salons all through the 70's and no one knew what to do. Finally, she found someone in the 90's to help her out. She thins it out a bit and my sister spritzes it with Infusium 32 leave in conditioner so it's managable. If she takes care of it this way, her hair flows nice looser soft curls and she's able to pin it back when she wants without it hurting her scalp. The Infusium has been a sanity saver! As for your son, same problem here with my 17gfg! ForEVER we've had this battle. Even now it continues, boyfriend or no boyfriend! We also have lost all sensitivity in regards to reminding her to shower or bathe. It's gross, I'm sorry, and I just can't stand the stink sometimes. It's not like any other smell I can describe really...it doesn't smell like BO or dirty - I just KNOW that she needs to shower!! Oh, and BRUSH HER DANGED TEETH!! The teeth thing really drives me bonkers. I won't even let her in my car without first making her brush her teeth. I will feel her toothbrush for days on end and KNOW that she hasn't brushed her teeth - is that gross or what?? So, we're not really diplomatic anymore. We state it pretty plainly: "Honey, you smell - go get in the shower and brush your freakin teeth". We have even taken away privileges over this. We've told her no to dates or outings over this. I can't figure out why she is so averse to bathing regularly. It's strange too because once she's taken a shower, she seems to be very happy about being clean so you'd think she'd want to be in there more often. Sorry, no advice, but lots of empathy. [/QUOTE]
