        I washed my hair last monday and was gonna 
 wash again on friday but ive come down with severe 
 tonsillitis   and i dont see myself getting to wash 
 my hair till friday at least,, mayeb later and its gettin 
 kinda crispy so ive put a load of serum in and its a 
 greaseball and ive got to go out like this to the doc 
 tomorrow ,, i am so pissed sigh,, i dont think its a 
 good idea to wet my hair with a bad throat ... am i 
 mistaken in this???

Hey cookiesnkream.  I wouldn't want to wash my hair either with a bad throat, I'm really funny about my hair being wet because I don't want to get sick, but since it's summer time you might be ok.  If I were you I would make sure to wash it and sit under the dryer or blow dry so your hair won't be wet long.  Hope you feel better!

 sicker just for the sake of clean hair lol,, i used to go 
 out to go out in the dead of winter with soaked hair 
 and i never got sick but now im always sick cuz im 
 stressed out so much more,, sigh anyway ill just 
 think of it as giving my hair a rest for a while lol

Hope you'll be feeling better CNK! As for washing your hair, I'm not sure. A doctor would tell you best. I know when you are sick your immune system is down and washing your hair opens your pores. It might be just the same as taking a shower. But, I'm not sure. I do hope you feel better though!

   thanx honeydoo, i feel much better today,, i plan to 
 wash on   thursday and im sure itll be safe by then, 
 in the mean time i put olive oil in my hair and it really 
 is keeping it supple,, i remember in high skool in  
 the winter i would skip washes for 2 weeks and had 
 no prob but summer is another story lol anyway 
 Thanx
