[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 588518, member: 1514"] I do have several ideas here for once! On the oily teen hair. Dye it one shade darker or lighter unless she particularly wants a different shade. It will make the hair much dryer. I had to do this several times with Jamie in HS because he had really oily hair in HS and if I hadnt done that he would have had to wash his hair daily which would have been a pain. Well I actually started it in Jr High when he still had his very long hair so it was much harder to wash than his short cropped hair. That long hair was hard to wash and he could go 3 days between a wash once I dyed it. Also you can use those new waterless spray in hair washes or you can just brush in baby powder. It works much the same way. Now the day after using that you do need to do a wash. I also use going to a place like Fantastic Sam's once a week and get my hair washed once a week. I do it because I simply cannot wash my hair well using a plastic cup in the bathtub and get all the soap out well. I dont have access to a shower so I go to Fantastic Sam's and they just wash it for me and most of the time they just towel it dry enough for me to leave the store without it being sopping wet. If its really cold they will blow it dry enough so Im not walking out to have a a cold head and it is not expensive at all. I pay $5 for a wash. If all else fails, there is always bribery. Find out what her currency is and offer her a reward for hygiene. Doesnt have to be a big reward, just something small. Maybe something small each week that at the end of the month could end up in the total thing. Im sure you can figure it out. [/QUOTE]
