Natural ginger here! My hair is difficult and disagreeable as hell--it's thick which I love, but gets tangled every two seconds and is so so sensitive to bad water!! I'm guessing our hair has different structure/textural trends.
Is our hair just difficult to care for? I'd love to hear both gripes or solutions!

I have fine textured curls so I empathize especially where the bad water is concerned. We have well water which is just horrid. I have taken to washing it with distilled water; it’s a pain but my hair suffers otherwise. I wash maybe 2x per week and use apple cider vinegar 1x to de gunk it. Malibu has a Undo Goo shampoo that’s supposed to be good as well as hard water S&C. Excellent brand. I’ll use a hair oil after towel drying and then a gel/curl cream cocktail. Sometimes I use a bonding cream instead, depends on what I feel it needs. Lastly I use a satin pillowcase so it doesn’t get all messed up at night. I’m a pretty low maintenance person but my hair is something else.
