I'm white, but every few months I warm up a small bowl of olive oil and massage it into my hair, then put on a hat (or shower cap) and let it sit on there for an hour... or longer, then just shampoo it out, making sure to scrub your scalp to get the oil out. it works wonders for my hair making it shiny and healthier looking

That's the best treatment for a dry scalp condition too!

I used olive oil and it worked wonders! Its awesome.
Then i styled it in the shower and looked like an anime character. XD
Not going out in public like that tho. :p

Haha I love doing that when my hair's wet too I'm glad its working for you, i'm using coconut oil and Shea butter right now in my hair and my hair is so much softer its awesome.

I feel you. My hair although not really an affro when it is longer than 4 inches (below that it is) its really unruly. Im not very experienced but since ive started using conditioner and leaving it on for about 5 minutes it has improved.

Also make sure you take very good care of it when youre drying it as that can make it frizz back up

Good luck

Oh black people hair, how I hate it.

I'm mixed race and have very curly hair that frizzes up when I don't brush it and also during the summer when it's real hot. When I had long hair and was not out yet, I either used grease or hair gel/hair spray that is meant to tame my type of hair.
