A myth, I wash my hair as much as anyone else and chicks DO dig it, plus - it's an instant point of conversation! Although yes I am pretty much unemployable, which is ok since I'm in noooo hurry for a mortgage, least of all in this country! Sorry, but it is cool haha And half the speed/twice the time for dreads since it grows in knots If I didn't have them my hair would be half way down my back by now
