I can't take care of my hair either.
Mine is also very thick.
I can't stand brushing or washing it - just touching my scalp makes me physically ill.
Water running over my scalp feels like bugs crawling.
So I leave it for weeks until it's horrible and oily.
I will often panic and meltdown at the thought of washing it.
Then I end up with a headache afterwards.
No one understands my problems with this.
They think, "Why don't you just wash your hair? It's easy. You're dirty and lazy."
My hair's short now but the sensory issues are no less intense.
Curious, but do you like going to the hair dressers? I quite like it if I find the right sort of person who doesn't talk to me while I sit there. Also if they have the right temperature water and the shampoo they use smells nice - then I really like it because I don't have to do it haha. Outsourcing hair styling- quite like it. I would go often if I could! lol But I don't have the money for that!
I never go and do it all my own XD
I cannot have my hair washed at the hairdressers.
It's sensory overload and I'm scared I'll melt down.
Or vomit.
I wash it before I go.
I can cope with the haircut if they're quick.
But I'll still have a headache afterwards.
