It’s a tale as old as time. The dreaded “Hair Wash Day” typically occurred weekly in my household growing up, on Sunday evenings after church. My mother, who often could not handle the pressure of the day, would frequently enlist my aunt to wash, detangle, and straighten all of our hair.
I have two older sisters, and being the youngest, I had to go first. She would first detangle and then shampoo our hair in the kitchen sink. The painful detangling process was often the worst part because my hair was so coarse and thick.
She used the same wide-tooth comb on all of us. All you could hear for hours were the repeated cries of my sisters and me yelling, “Ouch!” and my aunt’s repetitive reply, “Sit still!” This process was never pleasant and as a kid, it felt like inhumane torture. Oh, but the results made it worth it.
