I agree, Jeri, we tend to wash our hair too often. Once a week is enough for me. Also, white ladies have many more wrinkles as they age. The African ladies I've met (in many countries) all had wrinkle-free skin, so much so that you couldn't believe that some were quite old. It's the constant oiling of the skin which keeps it so smooth. White skin wrinkles in the sun, whereas African skin is smooth even when bombarded with UV rays. It's horses for courses isn't it? My husband can stay out in the boiling sun in Ivory Coast with no shelter or hat, and never ever burn. I stand for five minutes waiting for a Taxi and I'm red as a lobster and probably heading for skin cancer!
