(NO ofense) Is it true that people who have very curly hair (black people) can't wash their hair? It's not a joke.

Or better to say, that they can't wash their hair very frequently.

Yeah, for the most part, that's true.
I wash my hair at least once a week, but most of my friends who are white wash their hair daily or every other day.

It's true that people with that kind of hair, like me, can't wash it as frequently as others. It's because our hair gets dry when we wash it and takes about 3 or 4-7 days to get the oil all the way to the ends, which are the dryest part.

Depends. There is a girl in my grade, she cant wash her hair. She can only do it once every two months. Now me, I am black and have curly hair and I can wash it everyday. It depends on what type of structure your hair is.

People of African descent (and others with the same hair texture)don't make the oils in their hair, that people of European descent make. That's why they need to on occasion, put oil into their hair. Yes, it's true that they aren't advised to wash it as frequently as other races, because it will become brittle and break much more easily.
Also, due to the fact that they don't get oily hair...they don't NEED to wash their hair as often. Just had to add that so people don't start yacking about how it's gross not to wash their hair daily.

If you heard that, the person probably meant that because the hair is very fragile, it's best not to wash it more than a few times a week, but of course they CAN wash it. LOL, and no, nothing special is necessary.

No, it's not true that they can't wash their hair. Black hair has little natural oil in it & dries out and becomes brittle, then breaks easily; so it's important not to wash it too often.
That's why someone has to be educated to be able to properly care for black hair, as in hair salons & beauticians.

If you have curly hair of any type, if you wash it you must condition it. It's best for curly hair if you only was it every other day.

I wash my hair 2-3x a week in the summer, 1-2x a week in winter.

They don't need to wash their hair as often because of its texture.
