Good morning ladies! I’m a Afro Latino with 4c hair. Growing up my mother dated men that didn’t have my type of hair. She always had my hair cut short so I have never had anyone to teach me how to take care of my hair properly. Its never been a problem until I joined the navy and moved to the North East. The dry climate for long periods has taken a toll on the overall health of my hair. My scalp is now always dry, itchy, and full of dandruff. I’m also interested in growing my hair out but I don’t know where to start. How often should I was my hair. And what exactly is washing? Applying water? Water + Shampoo? Sorry if some of these questions come across as simple and stupid, but I would highly appreciate your help/guidance.
