Pumpkin Zulu, what do you mean by "coconut oil treatment once a week".

are you talking using coconut oil that you might have for cooking, or a specific hair product?

I don't have afro hair, but in the last few years, my hair has gone all dry, woolly and sticks out, a little bit afro looking (after 40 years of having manageable, shiny, hair that swung and behaved. Only needed wash and air dry and it BEHAVED).

Can't get my head around how i can get up, wash my hair and straighten it AND get bilby to school on time. When i straighten my hair, it only lasts a few hours. i hate feeling like i am chained to the hair straightener, and most of the time, i do not have time to do it. Size of our place and lack of mirrors, means it is a major deal for me to even use the straightener (and see my self in a mirror at the same time).
