I tried to get the URL for this article, but couldn't seem to come up with it so will provide the highlight information here (the person who you are talking about surly has no lack of being exposed to germs....some of that good, & some not so good):
Thanks, (yeah I clicked on it.. I think it was trying to take me to a picture on the site.. sometimes they do that to keep hotlinking. *Shrugs*) This is a great read, and I'll load up my printer tonight with ink, and if it goes well i'll print it out. and leave it near the playstation or her computer area.. or.. perhaps be like "oh wow, look what i found on the internet... I know one thing, I'm gonna start taking showers more often cause of this.." or insert something like washing hands or something that makes more sense there later on.. I know a while back, me and my other best friend were talking on the wii and had it on the tv where our other best friend could see, and putting on like a little commercial. Cause she's complained of her head itching and we were like:
"Yah i just got out of the shower"
"wooo! you feel clean?"
"mmhmm! my head doesn't itch anymore because i washed away the left over dandruf"

but I don't think she catched on. Because during this point we thought she just wasn't taught right.. and didn't know that itchy scalp with lots of flakes meant dandruf, and it meant to either change shampoos or it was time to wash.

Thing is... she has gotten so used to her hair being slick and ... well... dirty... that she sees herself as that's the way her hair should be, so she doesn't like it when it looks clean and "poofy", and we've straightend it, and washed it for her during "make up-hair time" and she doesn't like it because it's not what she's accustomed to. She wants her hair to look slick and dirty like that which can't be accomplished by washing, and straighting.. I don't know if there's a way to help her like the clean look, or if there's some product out there that will make her hair that way when she gets out of the shower.. (which brings me to a side question as my mind wonders on things... Why don't we see the black on our skin, but when we take showers or baths the black stays on the rims of the tub... or say... the toliet lid from where we sit?... i dont know why i just said that all in "We" form, but usually i use the "you" word, and I didn't think that'd be very fitting in this.)
