Me: ***Purya buyag, purya buyag, purya buyag***
I wash it only once a week. I wash it in the ocean once a week too.
Instructor: Are you sure? How about the scalp? Doesn't it become flaky?
Me: The scalp will adjust eventually.
Honestly, most weeks, I only wash my hair when my scalp really starts to itch –– more or less, two weeks. LOL! However, I make it a point to wash it once a week. Eww, right? Not really. There is a scientific and organic explanation to it, but I am just too lazy for an explanation.
I mean, this is not the first time a random compliment comes my way for my hair. The most memorable one is from a guy. The compliment is indirect but same same. He has told me that in some cultures, having a healthy hair like mine gets a lot of suitors. Weird, yeah? He has dreadlocks, by the way.
Also, I do not colour my hair. I do not subject my hair to treatments like rebonding, straightening, whatever bombs the hair with a cocktail of chemicals.
