How should I handle kinky hair if I can't get relaxers due to my skin condition?

What are ways to manage it, %26amp; do you have any special ideas for any styles besides ordinary ponytails? My hair is getting pretty long, %26amp; I can't handle it anymore. I don't want to cut it all off again. I want to continue to let it grow long. Also, could my kinky hair be damaged for going long lengths of time without combing it? Sometimes I get depressed %26amp; just don't have any energy. But I want my hair to grow long %26amp; healthy. I wash my hair like twice or 3 times a week %26amp; put conditioner in it, but I get too emotionally depressed to comb it out %26amp; it gets all matted. %26amp; when I do comb it, it only looks silky %26amp; shiny "sometimes" %26amp; very nappy at other times. It's like my hair plays tricks on me.

Your hair is definitely getting damaged by not combing through each day. Once it's matted, you pull a significant amt. of hair out brushing knots. Try not to do this. It will lift your mood to set aside even 10 minutes a day to brush through your natural oils and keep it silkier. You should put a straightening balm (Bumble and Bumble makes a good one called Straight) blow dry or air dry, and then flat iron it. Less upkeep between washings and you'll be more motivated to care for it better. Good luck.
