no never tried any ethnic products, maybe I should though. I don't know though, at this point I just feel like giving up. I just used so much product in the shower today. Two handfuls of apple cider vinegar, 2 pumps of anti freeze shampoo, two pumps of anti frizz, straightening conditioner, and even washed in some of that garnier serum. Of course, looks good and straight when I come out of the shower. An hour later? hello frizz. I try to comb it neatly, but nope, as neat as I try to make it appear, and as clean as it is, still looks like I just spent the past month following the grateful dead. No matter how much I stay away from drugs, my hair will always give the impression that I am on drugs. I was just walking across the street, then stopped for a second to make sure I had money on me, and a campus police officer just glared at me for a while, then asked me if I was ok in a very condescending, suspicious way. Why? probably because the wind was blowing my hair in my face, giving the impression that I'm a shady, unstable person. Does this indicate my character? No! It's just gravity! That's what long hair does! It blows in your face when it's windy outside! I don't want to just give up and cut my hair, but I don't see many options at this point...
